[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 0/2] Add runtime test for mpd

[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 0/2] Add runtime test for mpd

[Andreas Ziegler]

Buildroot mpd.conf now contains exactly the minimum changes, that need to
be merged with the upstream configuration file to make a default build of
mpd runnable.

The runtime test has been stripped down to be able to dispense with
using test data. It uses the standard Buildroot configuration for mpd
without customization. 

Changes v1 -> v2:
	split test data in chunks to overcome mailing list restrictions
Changes v2 -> v3:
	leave Config.in unchanged
	reintroduce Buildroot mpd.conf as fragment file
	simplify test to be used without test data
	remove test data 
	remove mpd.conf rootfs overlay

[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 1/2] package/mpd: use upstream mpd.conf w/ buildroot modifications

[Andreas Ziegler]

The configuration file supplied by Buildroot is only a sample; it will
not start MPD on a default installation. In a production build, a custom
mpd.conf has to be supplied via rootfs overlay.

Treat Buildroot mpd.conf as a fragment file, containing the minimum
modifications necessary to run mpd in a default build. Install the
upstream sample and inject the values from the Buildroot fragment.

* log_file, pid_file: Buildroot specific; referenced in mpd.mk and S95mpd
* audio_output: At least one output has to be defined to run mpd

I am sorry, but this is way too complicated for Buildroot's KISS
principle. Some much simpler approach needs to be found.

Best regards,

You might have a point: too much effort for a file that is probably 
never used :-D
