Remove the FreeDB search from MusicBrainz
The FreeDB search is not coming back since the recent hosting migration, but the option is still there and just returns a search error: https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=ibert+piano+music&type=freedb&limit=25&method=indexed
Let's remove it from the UI and all of subsequent dead code.
Requirements:
- A working development environment, including a MusicBrainz server in standalone mode. (See the documentation for information on how to do this.) Installation should be fairly straightforward to complete, but it could be quite long depending on your computer performance. Note that running the server code is only supported on Linux systems and that you need at least ~20 GB of space to install it.
Steps include:
- Assign yourself the linked ticket
- Create a branch to modify the code (Perl, Template Toolkit) with style
- Test your changes on your local MusicBrainz server and show us a screenshot
- Create a pull request to submit your changes
If you have questions, feel free to ping us in the #metabrainz (IRC channel).
