@richardlehane I think you may have a lot on your plate with the standard release? Maybe when you have a second afterwards, could you mint a beta for this PR? I've updated the Wikiprov package to be more forgiving and should resolve #183.

Hi @ross-spencer I've minted a release candidate for this branch. The PR looks fine to me - do you want me to merge it to develop branch yet? I've been getting the develop branch ready for a new release but will probably wait until next pronom comes out before finalising it (I want to skip PRONOM v119 altogether as those updates seem to have broken more signatures than they have fixed)

thanks @richardlehane I appreciate it! wrt to merging, I just wanted to be cautious to make sure it worked elsewhere, so maybe Tyler has an opportunity to try it, or I'll give it a go from the rc on another machine of mine and see. Then I'll merge the code upstream at wikiprov and then update the go.mod here. Maybe revisit this time next week?

hi @richardlehane given Ethan's successful test this is looking good. I also tested on two other distros:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release:        22.04
Codename:       jammy

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"

And it's looking good.

Have added v1.0.0 of wikiprov to the dependencies and committed those here and converted the issue from draft.

btw:

Anything that I can help with at all? (is it the sig file?)

Thx Ross it's just a PRONOM bug that I think is already fixed and should be available in the next release. One of the new quark signatures broke identification for most other quark variants: digital-preservation/PRONOM_Research#54
