Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Perl Update ... the same old topicagain ...
Woo hoo! I'd been watching this thread rather than the github commit. Commit on 24 Nov 2016 added perl 5.24 support and seems to be working fine on Debian Stretch (testing, AMD64).

I'm running a current Gentoo system with a x86_64 processor. If you wish to build a similar system, the standard instructions on gentoo.org will work.

(The manual is a few years old, so I changed some lines to reflect newer Perl versions etc.) I installed it in /opt/. (Not OK according to the Debian file hierarchy guidelines, but who cares.) Since I didn't want to interrupt any scripts the .deb had set up (which were working just fine), I decided against building LMS. I symlinked some modules to the new Perl directory: ln -s /usr/share/perl5/Slim/ /opt/perl-5.22.2-LMS/lib/5.22.2/Slim . I then changed the first lines in three files in /usr/sbin: squeezeboxserver, squeezeboxserver_safe and squeezeboxserver-scanner. They linked to the system wide perl binary, but I changed them to: #!/opt/perl-5.22.2-LMS/bin/perl . Then I started LMS using /etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver start. And it worked! Probably really basic stuff for you guys, but a little victory for me. :D Now I just need to remember to not re-install a newer version, because then I'd need to edit the files again. willemd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65076 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104854 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

If 'unstable' is supported, then so is 'testing'. Stefan's procedure seems correct to me, it's also what I usually do when I install a new machine. (There are also 'testing' network images to install, but I think the end result is the same and it takes just as long.)

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Perl Update ... the same old topicagain ...
When I have to install a new box, I always take the latest stable version I get, do a pure base system install, then edit /etc/apt/sources.list to read "unstable" instead of the stable version name, e.g: # cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free Then I do: # apt-get update # apt-get dist-upgrade # apt-get upgrade This worked for the last years. It may be that you have to repeat the above steps in order to resolve all dependencies which may be broken during the distribution upgrade, but usually this works quite well. I'm running Debian GNU/Linux unstable since 1997, BTW. ;-) Greetings, Stefan On Tue, 04 Oct, Michael Herger wrote: > > Debian amd64. > > Are you running unstable?

Linux distributions and platforms > > (Intel, ARM, 32-bit, 64-bit...) add to it in many ways... Debian amd64. The previous Perl updates caused the same kind of problems, but then they were fixed after a short while, so that's why I kinda expected it would go the same way now. But I know it's essentially a dead product for a while now, which is unfortunate but I can't blame you of course. I'm glad it's been functioning for so long. Anyway, the last year I haven't really kept up with LMS development otherwise, have Logitech cut your hours even more? I will check out the suggestions in the posts above to create a stand-alone lms.

Currently I'm running the nightlies and doing the whole rebuild on an (almost) nightly basis seems a bit complex. So I'll have to put all packages on hold that depend on Perl 5.22 and wait till Perl 5.22 gets supported in the nightlies.
