Bug 248707 – gnome-extra/music-applet-2.3.1: MPD support disabled - mpdclient2 module missing

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Vaclav Adamik 2008-11-25 00:34:56 UTC]

When building music-applet for controlling music from my gnome toolbar it lacks support for the Music Player Daemon (media-sound/mpd). This seems to be the case because of a missing python module as reported while configuring:

> configure: WARNING: MPD support is disabled because the following Python modules could not be found:
> configure: WARNING:     * mpdclient2



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install music-applet
2. Try to activate MPD plugin

Actual Results:  
MPD support is missing in gnome-extra/music-applet

Expected Results:  
MPD support should be included when installing gnome-extra/music-applet or media-sound/mpd

I suggest installing the library with music-applet or maybe with media-sound/mpd.
The missing python libraries can be found here: http://www.archlinux.de/index.php?page=PackageDetails;package=5711

the ebuild clearly says it's bad (the ebuild itself) because there is a lot of automagic. I'll be happy to fix this if I'm given a patch to review.

  29 May 2009; Samuli Suominen <[e-mail]>
  music-applet-2.5.1.ebuild, metadata.xml:
  Introduce USE mpd with python-mpd python bindings wrt #248707, thanks to
  Vaclav Adamik.

Leaving this out, would have not solved any automagic's. It was still there, maybe even more random.

This bug is closed, please open a generalized bug of automatic issues music-applet itroduces.
