LMS 7.7 on gentoo

[albright]

Hi - There's been no gentoo ebuild since squeezeboxserver-7.5 so
I wonder if anyone has advice for the best way to install newer
version on gentoo ... (or maybe there is no reason to upgrade,
or some reason not to). Any advice appreciated.

hi all

have the same "problem" ... would be great if LMS 7.7 could be added to portage! so as it has been said before: any advice appreciated

I contacted Stuart Hickinbottom who produced the
squeezeboxserver ebuilds. He said he'd try to get
to it when he found time .... Hope he does. It's a
complex ebuild.

great news! thanks for the information and thanks to Mr. Hickinbottom!

Sorry for the extended silence...

I've produced an ebuild for LMS 7.7.2 and this is currently in review
for inclusion in Portage. I hope it will get through that review and be
included soon.

The impatient and adventurous (and who can blame you - it's been ages!)
could try the ebuild from my github repository:
https://github.com/hickinbottoms/log.../tree/7.7.2-b3

The ebuild is a 'binary' ebuild (it'll be
media-sound/logitechmediaserver-bin) and hence should be installable
without the huge number of Perl dependencies that have made producing
and maintaining the ebuild so difficult, as well as so difficult to
install.

Again, sorry for the delay but I'm hopeful we're nearly there now.

Now that LMS has "gone binary" (probably a good idea) I wonder if there's
an easy to way to find all the perl modules that the old squeezeboxserver
depended on?

I'd like to get rid of them if they're no longer needed

TIA

EDIT: it looks like's there is a good list in the old ebuilds,
so forget about this post
