[Test] Repo for LMS 7.9.0 on Synology DSM 5.*

[pinkdot]

Quick question for you Synology users: do you see an architecture string
in Settings/Information? I'm seeing lots of "Unknown" for Synology
devices. Is this normal?

Yes, that's always been the case.

pinkdot - are you applying a custom Slim::Utils::OS::* module to improve
support of the LMS Update?

No.

What would "perl -V" give you on some random Synology DS you have
sitting around?

Synology: Perl update for DSM6

Hi all,

Synology has updated Perl to 5.24.0-0066. This means All current LMSupdate installations will not work!
I will release new packages based on the already released '163' ASAP.

The question was more about the architecture string, rather than the
version number :-)

Yes, but that differs from nas to nas. I made a list of all models I support, but the names are a Synology translation of the real architecture.
I have a Armada375, which is armle-linux. Don't know about others.

What would it report running:

perl -MConfig -e'print $Config{myarchname}'

Because the Synology systems seem not to give any indication about what
architecture they're using (see Settings/Information/Architecture).

$Config{myarchname} doesn't give me anything.

Ok, that would explain the "Unknown" architecture string. I've added a
fallback to use $Config{archname} instead if needed. We'll see.

Somehow that isn't working. I added the commit to my package and LMS fails to start. Removing the commit and re-installing the package solves the problem.
For now I will create new packages, without this commit, because of the latest Synology Perl update.
But please contact me if you need some further testing.

Crap.... did you get any error message? Did LMS fail to start or just to load the Synology.pm file? I would have loved to see this change as part of your next build.

Synology doesn't come with a nice logging tool. It just registers start stop actions of packages, not even their processes, so sorry, no info there.
During start up I see sometimes Slimserver.pl pop up for a few seconds, but thats it.

As said, if I can help in any way to clear this thing ... any time. For now I will build the packages first to get Lms up and running again.

If you can send me a package for DSM6 on ARM, I can have a look at this from the command line.

New update for DSM 6.0-7275 and up.

Hi,
If you're running DSM6 and applied the latest update, you might need to update your LmsUpdate package!
Synology has updated the Perl package to 5.24. Therefore You will have to update your LMS/Lmsupdate package.
Check your DSM version first! If it's 6.0-7275 or higher, please update your LmsUpdate package to '1131'.

Greetings,

Martin.

1 downside: due to this update, Audio Scan is back to version 0.93 which means dsd support is dropped for these packages.

Is this module provided by Synology, yourself, or us?
