I'm happy to include an upstart job in the Debian package, but I think it should be minimal and not try to read a user from mpd.conf and muck around with directory ownership. It is a mistake that this was added to the initscript; it doesn't do what's needed to freely configure any user in mpd.conf; and unless someone explains why this is a good thing it will be removed soon.
mpd can run as a system service, as the "mpd" user. Alternatively, it can be started from a user's session, which allows every user to have his own music database and has the added benefit of working well with a per-user pulseaudio setup. Since mpd 0.18.5-1, all that's required to automatically start mpd on session startup is a personal ~/.mpdconf and a disabled system service. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910567 Title: Upstart support for mpd.
