Bug#673793: mpd-sima: installation creates $HOME and directories in $HOME
Hi, Le 21/05/2012 15:42, Andreas Beckmann a écrit : […] 0m34.9s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system: /local/ not owned /local/piuparts/ not owned /local/piuparts/piupartss/ not owned /local/piuparts/piupartss/.config/ not owned /local/piuparts/piupartss/.config/mpd_sima/ not owned HOME is set to /local/piuparts/piupartss, but the installation is done via 'sudo chroot ...' as root, so the $HOME does not exist. Anyway, pure package installation should not create anything in any $HOME. This has been fixed, the package is waiting for a sponsored upload (already asked Kilian Krause for the upload).

Bug#637192: /var/lib/mpd-sima/sima.db should be group writeable/readable

I also think that in the case where simadb_cli do not find a local
sima.db file it should use the system wide database file.
It would be great, but I don't know how FHS [0] is honoured in other
distributions and thus how this feature would affect them.
Actually, I think, upstream maintainer's hat on, that looking for the system
wide database within /var/lib/ is not that straight forward if it has to be
done upstream. It depends on how package maintainers did name the package and
thus the directory within /var/lib. The upstream software name is MPD_sima
which is renamed mpd-sima in debian.
Then I believe, as package maintainer now, it is probably better to duplicate
simadb_cli wrapper used in debian package.
We'll have one system wide wrapper looking for /var/lib/mpd-sima/sima.db and
the second looking in the regular user directory:
${XDG_DATA_HOME}/mpd_sima/sima.db
I guess I would set simadb_cli_sw to look for system wide database and leave
simadb_cli as is.
In the mean time you can use a shell alias:
alias simadb_cli=simadb_cli --dbfile=/var/lib/mpd-sima/sima.db
Thanks for your report Nicolas
Cheers,
Geoff

About upstream project MPD_sima (Was Joining pkg-multimedia / mpd-sima package)
Hi Jonas, the Team, I split the reply in two parts since the discussion concerning upstream projet is off topic IMO. Le 12/06/2011 17:18, Jonas Smedegaard a écrit : On 11-06-12 at 11:32am, Geoffroy Youri Berret wrote: […] I'm upstream author for MPD_sima, […] Hope you might be intrigued by my ideas: Indeed, users feedback are essentials, I'm grateful for your opinion. Album mode -- I often enjoy music as complete works, respecting the playing order originally chosen by the musicians when they composed the album. Would be nice if MPD_sima optionally would add albums rather than single songs. I completely agree on that, albums are entities that happened to be split into singles for broadcasting and commercial reasons. An album queue mode is available in MPD_sima since v0.7.0. You have to set queue_mode option to album in the configuration file (not available on command line). Prioritize manual selections My music collection contains some non-mainstream stuff. Current logic of MPD_sima cause it to slowly degenerate into pop music (stuff appearing both in top-5 results from last.fm queries and in my collection). Would be nice if MPD_sima would remember last manually selected tune and (optionally?) take that into account as guidance, to go in circles around that instead of drifting off at random[…]. There is actually something approaching available in MPD_sima. Users can add to the internal database similarities of their choices thanks to a command line tool. These similarities are used in addition to last.fm similarities, the level of similarities can be used to override last.fm recommendations. But well, for now the CLI is quite cryptic and needs some improvements to be more user friendly. Musicbrainz support --- […] Offline support --- I am involved in the FreedomBox[2] project - about user-friendly, decentralized services. Would be cool if MPD_sima could be used in an autonomous mode, independently from centralistic services like last.fm. […] It is my concern as well to provide services independent from closed and centralized services like last.fm. I'm expecting libre.fm to provide someday features similar to last.fm. In the meantime it looks like MusicBrainz is a rather mature alternative. I'm already working on supporting MusicBrainz ID in MPD_sima, but I can obviously take advantage of these other aspects of MusicBrainz database. I'll try to take time to have a look at it, thanks for pointing it out. I imagine to use Musicbrainz tagging as mentioned above, or other tags as well - e.g. the genre which (as I understand it) is commonly gathered also with cddb. Would then (especially with cddb) need a text-fuzzying algorithm to treat e.g. electronic and Electronica as equal. I've been thinking about using genre tag to find artists to queue, as you mentioned, this is prone to spelling mistake and fuzziness since there are no standards for genre. That part is not crucial as MPD_sima is already shipping a fuzzy matching engine to get the right artist name, it could be use for other strings. The reason why I did not use genre back then is that it is not refining enough while looking for artists, at least it was not enough for my taste :). But well, I guess it could suit others listeners habits. I have interest in semantic web and RDF. Would it be interesting for you to try make MPD_sima able to query a local database, if I put together one such database service? It is quite premature for me now, but I'll get back to you as soon as I have a better idea of what is possible and what I want to push into MPD_sima. Another approach I'de like to try, maybe implement in MPD_sima, is Music Information Retrieval (aka MIR), using pure signal processing techniques to get a track profil. These techniques are independent of external database, all needed information is gathered from the sound track itself (the sound signal not meta-data). This is the way banshee plugin named Mirage is working.

Joining pkg-multimedia / mpd-sima package
Hi Multimedia Team :) I recently got my package, mpd-sima, uploaded thanks to Michael Tautschnig who sponsored it. A new upstream version has been released and triggered #628911. Following Jonas advice (cf. [0]), I'd like to join the team to maintain mpd-sima. The package for the last upstream version already received a review from debian-mentors@ and is uploaded to mentors as 0.8.0-2. I did open an account on alioth (under kaliko-guest). How should I proceed now ? About me: = I'm upstream author for MPD_sima, I've been using debian since Sarge. I've learnt debian packaging recently when I noticed MPD_sima was available in Arch/Linux and not for my distro :) My involvement in the Debian project is summarized on my wiki page at debian.org [1], I'm mainly an advanced user writing code as a hobby. About MPD_sima: === MPD_sima is an autoqueue client for MPD [2]. It is a non interactive client running as a daemon, it queues tracks following last.fm recommendations.
