Dear Julien,
thank you very much for MAT2! I know people who have been waiting for
this a lot.

I just submitted two tiny pull requests (7 & 8) intended to make
building and installing the Nautilus extension easier on Debian.

The fact that the -c switch changed its meaning worries me a little.
People are used to write `mat -c file.pdf` to check and show metadata
without writing anything to a file. Now, `mat2 -c` is for checking
dependencies, and `mat2 -c file.pdf` should fail with an error message.
Instead, it silently acts as if the -c switch was not there and
proceeds to clean the file. I just created issue 59 with this
suggestion.

I took the liberty to spread the word in the Fediverse
