I've tested the Armada375 version on my own server. The x86_64 version
is not tested, but downloaded over 50 times. I've not read any comments
that it is not working ;-)

In principle maybe slightly off-topic for this thread, but still thought
it was worth mentioning that Pinkdot recently found time to update the
LmsUpdate packages for X86_64 and Armada375. These include all LMS
commits up to and including December 22 (At the time of writing, this
means 100% up-to-date with latest checkins):

For now I have just added a comment in the document.. that there are inconsistencies between Synology package and Github commits to a519d5. Other Updates: - added info how to invoke self-compiled SOX - added info how to add LAME, both in folder Bin. I know these are kind of optional for most users, but for some like me they are essential.. rgds Gerhard Ge Ba's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108190 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Anatomy of a Synology LMS .spk package
Just to be on the save side (I don't know what changed with their latest code, but this was needed before). I did a quick diff between git and their package. There seem to be three "patches" applied: - one actually deals with an issue I've seen myself, but never was able to reproduce. What a pity they didn't provide a patch upstream... - one change to the prefs folder handling, which doesn't come with any comment. Don't know why they changed that (and why that change would be required anyway). - one change to the main skin, hiding the update prompt in the footer. Which would not be required if they had done the customization properly to override the update checking behaviour... Other than that there's certainly tons of leftovers. Files which have been removed or moved. Changes they forgot to apply. I'm actually surprised we didn't see bug reports for some of those, as they missed a fix or two. I'll try get in touch with them to get those issues resolved. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Second: don' t just copy files or directories, some files/code contain Synology specific patches. Would you have any information about what patches they applied?

Hi Gerhard,
If you want to update a the 166 spk, make sure to create a new 'base'.
As already said, the the 166 spk is *not* in line with commit ID a519d5!
You have to get this in line first before moving on.
Second: don' t just copy files or directories, some files/code contain
Synology specific patches.
Third: there are some differences between architectures. I would advice
to create a new 'base' package for all architectures you want to
maintain/create.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Anatomy of a Synology LMS .spk package
PS: this is Google Docs, this thing just didn't work on the User Forum.. but discussion can be here :) TBH: I think being able to comment on the document itself would be easier. Comments could be placed where they belong, instead of trying to reference some section of the document here. But here's my little input: I think almost anything but the Slim & HTML folder, plus a few file in the main folder, should not be touched. Most changes will be .pm files (perl modules). In order to get a list of changes since Synology's release, use this link: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/compare/a519d5...public/7.9 a519d5 is the commit ID of the revision Synology's package is based on. Whenever they release a new version, that revision would have to be figured out. Following this link there's another link to show the changed files. Today you'd see a lot of changes in CPAN - ignore them, as you'd be using Synology's. Which leaves us with only a hand full of changes. Replace Synology's copy of those files with the new ones. Wrap up the work in to a .spk. Done. That's my naive take. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
