Bug 246207 – media-sound/mpd-0.14_alpha1: Logfile gets filled with debug messages even on loglevel default

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Schömer 2008-11-09 19:48:40 UTC]

mpd logfile gets filled with debug messages since I updated from 0.14.0_pre20081103 to 0.14_alpha1. After a few days, the logfile has grown upto 25 MB.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =media-sound/mpd-0.14_alpha1
2. set 'log_level "default"' in /etc/mpd.conf
3. start mpd (/etc/init.d/mpd start)
4. watch mpd logfile (/var/log/mpd/mpd.log if started by /etc/init.d/mpd)

Actual Results:  
Every few seconds, debug messages like below appear in the logfile.

  Nov 09 20:19 : command_process_list: process command "status"
  Nov 09 20:19 : command_process_list: command returned 0
  Nov 09 20:19 : command_process_list: process command "currentsong"
  Nov 09 20:19 : command_process_list: command returned 0
  Nov 09 20:19 : client 0: process command list returned 0
  Nov 09 20:19 : client 0: process command "close"
  Nov 09 20:19 : client 0: command returned 20

Expected Results:  
No debug messages should appear in the logfile, if log_level is set to "default" in /etc/mpd.conf.

Created attachment 171223 [details, diff]
Patch log functions to compare loglevels the right way.

[Comment 2 Daniel Schömer 2008-11-09 19:51:22 UTC]

After appling attached patch "mpd-0.14_alpha1-loglevel.patch", the logfile no longer gets debug messages, if log_level is "default".

This patch was accepted upstream.
