In this case I am the admin and I want the port open. I'm not suggesting
that the package open the port upon installation but that the service be
available so I can easily do so by running `firewall-cmd --add-service mpd`.

and how is that different by just open the port?

"firewall-cmd --add-service mpd" would open the port on *which* interface here: WAN, LAN, VPN, eveywhere?

everywhere? stupid idea!

Perhaps this message belongs on the development mailing list.

        The second shortcoming concerns firewalld. No firewalld service
        description file is included with the package. While it isn't a
        great
        challenge to create one, it's an annoying extra step.


    uhm - no package ever should open a firewall port

    it's not uncommon to have mpd running ona machine in background and
    just use cantata or whatever client on the same machine and hence it
    is a terrible bad idea to expose *any* port until the admin says so
