pronom.sig problem

Siegfried rejecting pronom.sig:

$ ls -al /home/[user]/siegfried/pronom.sig

I'm a complete go newbie, and haven't got the hang of the environment enough yet even to start trying simple print tests.

I'm using the current version pulled down using 'go get github.com/richardlehane/siegfried/cmd/sf'. Having just seen issue #49, I guess this version ought to be ok?

Hi Graham
sorry, this the fault of my poor git usage - I'm terrible with git so tend to just do everything on master rather than use branches properly. Master should point to the latest stable release (1.2.2), and I should do development on branches (and I sometimes do!), but is currently pointing to the latest code. The latest code is incompatible with the 1.2.2-based pronom.sig available from the update service.

The simplest fix is to copy the pronom.sig file that is bundled with the source (at this path: https://github.com/richardlehane/siegfried/tree/master/cmd/roy/data) to your $HOME/siegfried directory.

Your other option is to build the signature creation utility, roy, (go get github.com/richardlehane/siegfried/cmd/roy) and make your own signature files (https://github.com/richardlehane/siegfried/wiki/Building-a-signature-file-with-ROY).

Used the bundled file, works perfectly. Thanks for the instant response.
