Package: gmpc
Version: 11.8.16-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch

Hi,

When using together with mpd that has a lot of media files, gmpc very
often disconnects from server with timeouts. I've configured it to use 60
seconds timeout (maximum possible value) but disconnects are usually
happens much often.

The cause is that connection timeout is ignored at all. 5 seconds is
always used instead.

This is upstream bug that already fixed in their VCS:

        http://musicpd.org/mantis/print_bug_page.php?bug_id=3403

Patch file is attached to upstream bug. I've double checked that it fixes
my issue with gmpc version that is available in unstable.

Upstream is currently refactoring their codebase moving to libglyr, so it
pretty looks like there will be no new bugfix release in near future.
That's why I'm kindly asking you to temporary apply this patch. 

Thanks!
