Hi Ron,
I’m not a unix or programming techie, so is it possible to post the compiled version of the nightlies for the slug?
You used to do this, so I guess you just haven’t had the time to continue it? But I’d like to be able to install the latest version.
Cheers,
Steve
Yup, I will. My x86 machine is gone, and I’m now trying to build slug packges on a slug running debonaras. But I was having problem getting the build environment running.
I think it’s working now, though, so I’ll start building slug packages again with the next nightly.

I see the new ipkg there. So – do I have to manually install sqlite3, or will my current sqlite2 install work OK? And you say on the nightlies page:
759.7 Kb (3 d/l)
mt-daapd_cvs-20060116-1_armeb.ipk 508.2 Kb (0 d/l)Fixes for the “can’t start enum” problems people have reported, as well as the problems with filenames with a % in their name.
some configure changes… watch for anything strange there. You will now have to specify either (or both) –enable-sqlite or –enable-sqlite3 now. You will get an error if you forget to specify one.
Errors should now display on the web interface when you try to add a playlist but it doesn’t parse. I’ll work on making those errors more descriptive — I just wanted to be able to push errors from the parser back up to the web interface.
No really big changes, then, just a bunch of fixes.
Soooo: do I need to specify “–enable-sqlite” or “–enable-sqlite3” if I’m using sqlite2? (sorry to be dense; dependencies are always a bit mind-boggling…)

If you install the .ipk, it should notice that you don’t have sqlite 3.x and install it automagically.
that’s the theory, anyway. If it fails, I’d like to hear about it. If it does, you can try manually installing the sqlite3 libs (ipkg install sqlite).

The install went OK, once I did a “ipkg update”.

That’s all that’s in the log file with the default logging level.
My install went like this:
# ipkg install mt-daapd_cvs-20060116-1_armeb.ipk

==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions (if diff is installed)
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** mt-daapd.conf (Y/I/N/O/D) [default=N] ?YAnd then I hand-edited the mt-daapd.conf file to include my changes (new admin pw, log file on, 3600 second refresh).
I’ll dig around more. Happy for hints if you think of them first.
That comes from one of two things:
1. Either there is a songs.db-journal sitting in your db_dir
or
2. The database is the wrong type — a sqlite2 database, and you told it to use sqlite3, or vice-versa.whack whatever is in your db_dir and try again.

So I did “ipkg remove” for both mt-daapd and sqlite and sqlite3. Then I reinstalled, based on the nightly ipkg:
# ipkg install mt-daapd_cvs-20060116-1_armeb.ipk

Configuring mt-daapd
To complete this installation, make any necessary changes
to the config file in /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf, and
start the daemon by running /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd
Configuring sqlite2
# sqlite -version
2.8.16
I then goofed and forgot to enable the logfile before starting, but the slug is definitely busy. So it looks like for slugs the nightlies prefer sqlite 2, but I saw fer shur that my prior attempt put up version 3.2.8-1. I’m a little confused, but things seem to be up for now.
So, are there any pitfalls I should be aware of based on the sql version differences? (Or should I just go read the diffs in CVS?)
Oh, and joy! It seems that my old smart playlists, from before the “ipkg remove” steps above, are still there, so I guess my old DB didn’t get completely nuked. Another intentional artifact?
ipkg remove just gets rid of the binaries, not the config files or the data files.
The default config file does prefer sqlite2, yes, although the package on the nightlies page has support for either sqlite2 or sqlite3.
If you choose one or the other, you need to get rid of your existing database: /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs.db. sqlite2 can’t open a sqlite3 database, and vice-versa. So if you switch types (sqlite2/3), you need to nuke your songs.db. That means your smart playlists are gone, though.
A workaround might be to convert the sqlite2 to sqlite3. You can do something like this:
slug$ sqlite /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs.db .dump | sqlite3 /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs3.db
slug$ mv /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs.db /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs2.db
slub$ mv /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs3.db /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs.db
And the oppose for sqlite3 to sqlite2.
