Reconcile filename/path differences in RPM and deb
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:31:40 UTC
Matt may already be working on this, but just to be sure... There are still a bunch of unresolved filename/path differences between the RPM and deb as described and discussed at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=253519#post253519. IMO, it will be much messier to try to address this post-7.0. CCing Dean to request a 7.0 milestone.
Does this prevent us from shipping 7.0 on these platforms?

Matt: what do you think?
I'll look into making some of the changes tonight and tomorrow... most of them are simple. I agree that making the changes after-release is a little confusing ... but its not the end of the world either way.
I've made several of the changes that the users have requested... -) cachedir is now /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache -) presdir is used instead of prefsfile, and its /var/lib/squeezecenter/prefs -) executable name is now squeezecenter-server ... the squeezecenter_safe wrapper is still in place. -) plugins directory is now under /var/lib/squeezecenter/Plugins and symlinked to the old /usr location I'll post a link to an RPM with the changes for testing before I commit them. I dont have an active Ubuntu/Debian box right now to test the RPM on myself! http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest/7.0/squeezecenter_7.0-16880_all.deb
I don't have a Debian test platform either, but if you post the various files (control, rules, etc), I'll take a look at them. The only item not mentioned in your list is the location of the executables. Based on feedback in the referenced thread, I suggest we change the RPM so they both use /usr/sbin.
Can I grab this from the unstable feed for my machine?
Sorry Dean, I didn't put the file into the unstable repo because I was afraid it might really break. I've got my Ubuntu box up and I'm testing it right now. Found one typo, fixed that, and am just walking through things to make sure they work properly.
Looks like we're all set now... turns out there's a bug in slimserver.pl that will not automatically create a new cachedir anywhere except /var/squeezecenter/cache. So we actually have to make the directory manually in the Debian package install, and then it works just fine. I've checked in my changes and am rebuilding the nightlies now.

Could this be because /var/cache/squeezecenter is still hardcoded in OSDetect.pm? I'm not sure what else that might break. Also, have you decided to leave the deb binaries in /usr/sbin and the RPM binaries in /usr/libexec? It's not too big a deal to me, just wanted to make sure it's not an oversight...
Created attachment 2778 [details] OSDetect.pm patch Suggested patch to OSDetect.pm
Created attachment 2788 [details] Fix broken symlinks Untested, but I assume this is the fix to the broken symlinks reported in the Beta list.
I just checked those changes in ... I had fixed them already, but forgot to check them in and they got overwritten last night. Oops! I'll rebuild the Debian packages now...
Matt, can this be closed?
I think this is finally fixed... I had to make some changes to osdetect, and the rules file for everything to play well together.
