Installed squeezecenter-7.0.0-0.1.20071221.noarch.rpm without any
difficulty on a standard Clarke-Connect v4.2. SC started and scanned
the library as expected.

I did get the following error in the server log on startup, which does
not seem to affect operation:

07-12-23 14:07:32.9038] Slim::Formats::RemoteStream::open (96) Can't

For me the main issue is the structure of the new rpm which distributes
squeezecentre widely around the directories.  Although this follows
convention for a range of repos, it makes for a more convoluted
structure for the user who may wish to modify the server. More
importantly, it differs from the file structure in svn and the tar.gz
files.

I do however see that your aims are to standardize the process for a
number of distros.

I also tried to install alienbbc-linux-v2.00beta2_7.0.tar.gz. Had to
move mplayer.sh from /var/lib/squeezecenter/Bin (where it is extracted)
to /var/lib/squeezecenter/Plugins/Bin which then recognised rtsp.
Although Alien appears in the Radio menu, when selected the list of
stations is blank.  Presumably, some of the Alien files need to be
somewhere other than /var/lib/squeezecenter/Plugins/Alien. Will ther be
a modified Alien soon?

The following info is for the benefit of C-C users who may have
followed the procedure to upgrade to perl-5.8.8 in
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41188

Because the new rpm uses /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim, for some SC
perl modules a link to that dir is needed in the @INC path on
perl-5.8.8. This can be done by

#ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim
/usr/local/bin/myperl/lib/site_perl/Slim
