Current stable version in portage is 0.2.1.1, from the mt-daapd website: "The 0.2.4 stable release works with iTunes 6.0.4 and is available from the "stable" link at the left, or from the Sourceforge project site" Instead of playing about with future version 3 "beta" ebuilds can the current version first be stabilised. Thanks
0.2.1.1 version is actually NOT working with iTunes 6 already... I've added 0.2.4 today, but I don't think it can be marked stable because of avahi requiring stable marking first. So, rather, amd64 and x86 arch teams can eventually decide to drop stable keywording of 0.2.1.1, leaving only 0.2.4 to be marked stable when avahi is stable (so when mono is stable, too).
I can't test that it doesn't break itunes, but I tested that it compiled and ran with most of the possible USE flag combinations on x86, and various linux apps can get music from it fine. (It does work with iTunes 6 on ~x86 though) emerge --info Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 Portage 2.0.54-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: [Not Present] dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig collision-protect distlocks sandbox sfperms strict test userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.blueyonder.co.uk http://mirrors.blueyonder.co.uk/mirrors/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 aac aalib acpi alsa asf audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdda cddb cdparanoia cdr cjk cli crypt cscope cups curl daap dbus dlloader dri dvd dvdr emboss encode exif expat fam fbcon ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran ftp gd gdbm gif glut graphviz gstreamer gtk2 hal idn imagemagick imap isdnlog jack jpeg kdeenablefinal lcms libcaca libg++ libwww live lua mad maildir matroska mbox mikmod mmx mng motif mp3 mp4 mpeg ncurses nls nptl ogg opengl pam pcre pdf pdflib perl png pppd python quicktime readline real reflection ruby samba sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl svg svga tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userlocales vcd vidix vorbis win32codecs x264 xine xorg xv xvid xvmc zlib video_cards_radeon video_cards_fglrx video_cards_vesa video_cards_ati input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS
Thanks for testing David. Stable on x86.
Compiles fine for me on amd64 and is running. I don't have the means to actually test it (no itunes here, sorry, and I didn't find any *NIX client that could use this one).
avahi has been stabilised on amd64 (bug 124293), so wen can go ahead and put this to rest now^^
let's just hope for the best.
