Switch to libcdio-cdparanoia (from cdparanoia)

[MerlijnWajer]

Next commits will add a choice to fall back to the old one, or pick a
different name. But let's get this ready for testing now.

Fixes issue #87. In the coming days I will add support to choose alternative implementations.

[MerlijnWajer]

Please give this a test run with the Julie Roberts CD, and some normal CDs too.

Everything should work, but I'm really tired and I promised I'd do this tonight.

[MerlijnWajer]

We might want to check for a certain cd-paranoia version and suggest the user upgrades to a version that has the fix in the near future.

This PR worked. Whipper successfully ripped the Julie Roberts CD with no errors and the problematic track 5 and produced the same CRC as EAC.

I'll fix up the build failure when I get home.

We might want to check for a certain cd-paranoia version and suggest the user upgrades to a version that has the fix in the near future.

I think the relevant versions we can choose to target are:

• cd-paranoia's second to last release: release-10.2+0.94+1. This one includes a10footsquirrel's final fix for the "julie roberts" bug. Link: Incorrect track bug smallest absolute value match rocky/libcdio-paranoia#10.

(OR)

• cd-paranoia's latest release: release-10.2+0.94+2. This one includes the aforementioned fix and the patch which makes cd-paranoia use null samples by default for the lead-out sector (also adds the --force-overread switch). It's useful because it should fix a lot of cases where whipper aborts a rip because it fails ripping the last track of each CD, like cd rip is not able to rip the last track #203. Link: Adds --force-overread rocky/libcdio-paranoia#11.

BTW, here's a recap of the libcdio-paranoia's releases as packaged by the "major" distributions:

Distribution	cd-paranoia's version number	Notes
Ubuntu	0.83	Will have at least 0.94+2 in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 'Bionic Beaver'
Debian	0.83	Testing, Sid have both 0.94+2
CentOS/RHEL 7	0.90+1	I'm not sure the version number I've reported is correct
Fedora 22+	0.93+1	0.94+2 in Rawhide. It will probably land in Fedora 28
openSUSE	0.93+1	I'm not sure the version number I've reported is correct
Arch Linux	0.94+2
Gentoo Linux	0.93+1	Version number as 'stable'. 0.94+2 as 'testing'

Updated Fedora row.

My vote is to go for 0.94+2. If distros haven't yet updated libcdio-paranoia, they likely won't get any future whipper releases into their repositories anytime soon either, and whipper may be the reason the update their libcdio-paranoia packages.

[JoeLametta]

I'll fix up the build failure when I get home.

I think you just need to add the libcdio-utils dependency to .travis.yml (in the install section).

My vote is to go for 0.94+2.

👍

Easier for us, better user experience.

[MerlijnWajer]

No, there is a bit more to be done, but it's not a lot. I'll do it in a couple of hours and then, let's merge it.

[mruszczyk]

Fedora libcdio maintainer just updated libcdio-paranoia to 0.94+2 in rawhide. Should go to stable fedora in May with version 28.

[MerlijnWajer]

Do we want to hard fail if we are not on 0.94+2?

[MerlijnWajer]

Joe, I think this is ready for merging. Whatever come later can be added later (e.g. picking a different cdparanoia implementation again, or a different cdparanoia binary name, or disabling/enabling specific version checks, etc)

[JoeLametta]

Merged, thanks.
Will update the README to state the added dependency right now.

[JoeLametta]

Do we want to hard fail if we are not on 0.94+2?

I haven't decided yet: what's your opinion?
Maybe we could just issue a warning if running using a libcdio-paranoia version older than 0.94+2 telling the user that is an unsupported configuration. If using an older version causes new specific bugs to appear, they will not be addressed.

At the end the hard way is probably better because it gives you a slight guarantee increase regarding whipper's expected behaviour.

[thomas-mc-work]

Where have you got that working version of libcdio-utils from? Both Debain and Ubuntu official packages are broken.

[JoeLametta]

@thomas-mc-work There's a working cd-paranoia package from the deb-multimedia repository.
