Hi Dan, I've just pushed a few more changes to my Git repo on Alioth that you may be interested in. I've made several changes including shipping a systemd service and sysvinit script, as well as shipping a shairport-sync.conf file. I've decided not to use the provided service and init script files for various reasons, though. If you're wanting to cater for Ubuntu releases prior to vivid, the init script I have provided will not work and you'll have to do something else (presumably just use the upstream version). Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to upload a package to Debian that also supports those older Ubuntu releases (or even Debian releases prior to Jessie). As I understand it, the general aim when uploading new Debian packages is to use the latest available helpers in testing/unstable, and it really makes sense to do so here in my opinion. I'm sure that you would be able to maintain a branch / fork of the packaging if you still wish to support those older distributions, though, and I will of course help where it's appropriate for me to do so. I think I'm getting pretty close to having the package in an uploadable state, and I expect to be seeking review of the packaging this weeking. I do still, however, need to examine the man page which at the very least includes a typo I need to fix (compatability => compatibility)! Cheers, Chris -- Chris Boot bo...@bootc.net
