Recursive Makefiles are inefficient and error prone (no proper way to
declare dependencies). Since there's no disadvantage in having one
single Makefile, let's do it.
The "sticker" command allows clients to query or manipulate the
sticker database. This patch implements the sub-commands "get" and
"set"; more will follow soon (enumeration), as well as extended
"lsinfo" / "playlistinfo" versions.
"Stickers" are pieces of information attached to existing MPD objects
(e.g. song files, directories, albums). Clients can create arbitrary
name/value pairs. MPD itself does not assume any special meaning in
them.
mpd uses some additional files to work, such as pid_file, state_file,
db_file, etc. when running mpd as non-root user, it is often that those
files end in ~/.mpd
in that case, we end up with 2 entries in a user's home, .mpdconf and
.mpd - which clutters homedirs.
this patch allows ~/.mpd/mpd.conf as an alternative to ~/.mpdconf,
allowing for a cleaner homedir
Over time mpdconf has evolved and has been maintained and contributed to by many different folks at different
times. Try to give it some unity. Attempt to clear up some language and make things crystal clear. Add more
examples. Use tabs when it makes sense. Make better borders. Remove obsolete options. Try to put more defaults
when it makes sense.
MPD 0.13 and older followed all symbolic links. Although this can be
a security problem (as it has always been), 0.14 should offer the same
default behaviour as 0.13.
The configuration options "follow_outside_symlinks" and
"follow_inside_symlinks" let the user control whether MPD should
follow symbolic links in the music directory.
[mk: converted variables to "bool"; moved configuration to
update_global_init()]
Over the years, a lot of commands have been added to MPD which were
documented only in the wiki
(http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Protocol_Reference). Merge all missing
commands from there.
The goal is to have one structured document which is the authoritative
protocol specification. The documentation which currently resides in
the wiki will be merged.
When building with the ancient automake 1.6 version, the following
errors occur:
Makefile.am:5: invalid variable `doc_DATA'
doc/Makefile.am:2: invalid variable `doc_DATA'
This patches renames some internal variables.
"idle" waits until something noteworthy happens on the server,
e.g. song change, playlist modified, database updated. This allows
clients to keep up to date without polling.
