I ran into compilation errors in src/Log.cxx like

Turns out a #include <ctime> is missing in src/Log.cxx:

@BachoSeven - thanks for testing! I'll add it to the next version.

That error on the -git build doesn't suggest anything immediately, but I'll try and reproduce over the weekend.

Edit - I can't reproduce. Building in a clean chroot works fine for me.

That works as expected on this package, thanks!

However, when I tried to add it to mpdscribble-git, which I created since upstream had recently added unreleased support for the XDG specification, it gave me the following error:

gen 12 23:56:01 thinkfra mpdscribble[359728]: basic_string::_M_construct null not valid

Perhaps there is something with the -git version that somehow requires the home directory to be set to something else than /? I mention this because when I instead add manually the user with sudo useradd -r -s /usr/bin/nologin mpdscribble, it works, and that command generates this in /etc/passwd:

mpdscribble:x:969:969::/home/mpdscribble:/usr/bin/nologin

while the default chosen by leaving it up to sysusers appears to be

mpdscribble:x:969:969::/:/usr/bin/nologin

@BachoSeven do you want to test?

u mpdscribble - - -
m mpdscribble audio

@jasonwryan I have two mpd instances set up, one as user and one as system since the user one is for local music while the system one connects via WebDAV to a homeserver, as described in the wiki. I don't think I would be able to do so with two user instances, I tried but there were some issues iirc.

jasonwryan commented on 2022-01-12 19:25 (UTC)

@BachoSeven is the instance not sufficient to run as a user?

BachoSeven commented on 2022-01-12 17:31 (UTC)

@jasonwryan since the system-wide .service file requires an mpdscribble user, could adding a .sysusers file to this package be useful?

Great little program, thanks for packaging it!

One note for people coming from older versions (0.22 especially), you have to modify your configuration a tiny bit. Remove the two header lines that begin with [, namely:

[mpdscribble]
and 
[last.fm]

No other changes are required.

I got the confirmation of what I said by at least two TU:
