A deb would mean that it could easily be deployed onto (say) a raspbmc image (with is based on Debian) giving a dual purpose to the RasPi from a single SD card image. Even if it is only one file, a .deb lists dependencies and the like, so a simple 'apt-get -f install squeezelite' would automatically pull in all the required flac and mp3 libraries, meaning the end user has to do next to nothing. Worth considering if you can. Andy _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
