Hi! please find attached mt-daapd-0.2.1_pre3.ebuild. mt-daapd is a multi-threaded implementation of Apple's DAAP server. Hence it is a music server for iTunes and quite similar to the more famous daapd. I found this easier to set up and running more smoothly than daapd. I suggest media-sound/mt-daapd Also, this ebuild depends on zlib, gdbm, libid3tag and howl (if you have the use-flag set). Frederik
Created attachment 48557 [details] mt-daapd-0.2.1_pre3.tar.gz
Created attachment 49109 [details] mt-daapd-0.2.1_pre4.tar.bz2 Version bump. Is anybody reading this?
Yes, I am reading this. The 0.2.1 final release is out, simply renaming the ebuild to mt-daapd-0.2.1.ebuild seems to work. Thank you a lot for this nice ebuild.
Created attachment 50607 [details] mt-daapd-0.2.1.tar.gz Version bump to stable. Would anyone be so kind to add this to portage?
yeah, i also use that instead of daapd *pokes sound@gentoo.org*
I would like to see this added to portage as well. Runs great on my VIA C3 board. Serving up tunes to my LAN as we speak. Has fewer dependencies than daapd.
Created attachment 51770 [details] mt-daapd-0.2.1.1.tar.gz Version bump. Is someone from sound@gentoo.org reading this? I would really like to get this into the portage tree.
just another voice hoping for this to get into portage. daapd is in portage, but I think most people would prefer this one
You'd probably get a quicker response if you submitted an ebuild for it instead of a tar.gz.
Created attachment 51922 [details] mt-daapd ebuild first draft Needs init.d and config file. IUSE="debug" should be added and conditional dep on dev-libs/efence. Everything still needs to be use enabled in src_compile()
Hmmm, looks like it can use howl and/or apples mDNS.
Did you bother to extract my tar.bz2 kito? It contains a working ebuild with an initscript and everything. Or is there anything fundamentally wrong with my ebuild you needed to write one from scratch?
Ooops, I saw a tarball and assumed it was the src. Sorry about that. I'd stick to plain text files as attachments if possible. I think IUSE="zeroconf oggvorbis" should be added and conditional deps on efence and mdnsd src_unpack() doesn't look needed econf ${myconf} should be used, this should allow for a simpler src_install function as you can do make install DESTDIR=${D} || die doins takes multiple arguments instead of newexe try using newinitd I would first check to see that /var/cache/mt-daapd/songs.gdb exists before rm -f it in pkg_postinst check here if you need some more info on syntax: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1 Thanks for working on this and sorry its taken so long to get into the tree.
Thanks for the advice, I'm working on it right now. Should be there in about 15 min.
Created attachment 52078 [details] new ebuild which makes use of the howl, debug and oggvorbis USE flags There dosn't seem to be a zeroconf USE-flag. mt-daapd uses an internal mdnsd which seems to collide with howl. Hence I disabled it if the howl-USE-flag is set.
Created attachment 52079 [details] init-script for the above
Created attachment 52082 [details] fixed missing "fi"
i think that zeroconf is /going/ to be a world use flag for apple's mDNS that the kde herd is talking to the gnome herd about. I could be wrong if the conversation has changed.
Anyway, I don't think it would be wise to make the use of mt-daapd's internal mdnsd dependent on the zeroconf-useflag. It needs at least this or howl. So Howl is optional and the internal mdnsd is the default.
I noticed an ugly issue with my initscript. It ends only the task with the first pid and not the forked ones. I have no idea how to fix this. Any suggestions?
Another vote to add mt-daapd to portage...
Doesn't emerge yet if oggvorbis-flag isn't used. I addressed this upstream: http://www.mt-daapd.org/?q=node/23
Created attachment 53030 [details] fixed compilation issue if oggvorbis use-flag is not set The newest version should fix the compilation issue if oggvorbis use-flag is not set.
bump: This ebuild works a-ok for me, extracting the attached tar.gz file to the /usr/local/portage overlay dir, and adding the latest attached ebuild. Please add to portage tree?
I can confirm that the ebuild works with the following caveats. It did not work for me with the 'howl' use-flag. I may not have setup howl properly. Not sure. Also, the init file does not stop the daemon because it seems to ignore a SIGTERM (or perhaps this has to do with threading). Adding "--retry 5" to the start-stop-daemon line in the "stop" section will cause start-stop-daemon to first send a SIGTERM, wait 5 seconds (units not documented) and then send a SIGKILL which does stop the server.
mt-daapd is now in the tree, thanks for the effort and for supporting gentoo. last but not least thanks for pointing me to that nifty piece of software :).
