[Solved] What became of exiftool?

[mns]

I've been using exiftool until recently on Mageia 3 but now that I've upgraded to Mageia 4, I mis it and can't find it in the repositories.
Has it been discontinued, has the name changed or is it just that I don't know where to look?

Any help will be appreciated, as it is essential to some scripts I use to manage my photos.

BR, Michael

Code: Select all

$ urpmf exiftool
perl-Image-ExifTool:/usr/bin/exiftool

Which indicates that you want the package perl-Image-ExifTool

Code: Select all

$ urpmq --sources perl-Image-ExifTool
/mirror/Mageia/distrib/4/x86_64/media/core/release/perl-Image-ExifTool-9.270.0-2.mga4.noarch.rpm

Shows it to be in the core repo.

FWIW, please show the output of

Code: Select all

urpmq --list-media active --list-url

so we can see your currently configured set of repos.

Which I didn't know. I don't recall ever installing it as a Perl thing.
Nevertheless it solved my problem. Thank you.

Nice to know the commands urpmf and urpmq, too. I wasn't aware of those.

Thank you for the code. I just needed help locating the right package.

It would still be helpful for the future to determine if you have a good set of repos currently configured. But if you don't want that, that's also OK.
