WWW: http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_features.html
SlimServer has been superseded by SqueezeCenter for over a year and the
audio/slimserver port has been marked as DEPRECATED for over eight
months. Remove all SlimServer related ports.
I was unable to contact the maintainer of slimserver-lastfm and
slimserver-slimscrobbler, but they have received no updates since
late 2006.
The other slimserver-* ports were maintained by tdb who approved their
removal (and who maintains squeezecenter-* couterparts for most of
them.)

Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.
1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.
Fix the download location.[1]
Mark depricated. Slimserver is unmaintained and SqueezeCenter should be
used instead.

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Depend on the ports version of p5-YAML-Syck instead of using the one from
slimdevices. It turns out we just need to be more agressive about removing
all the pieces of it they ship in the tarball.

Upgrade to slimserver 6.5.3 see change log for details.
http://www.slimdevices.com/Changelog6.html
Add largely untested support for changing the slimserver user, group,
and database/cache directory with the SLIMUSER, SLIMGROUP, and SLIMDBDIR
make variables. Make sure the user/group exists before install if you
use a non-standard one.
Upgrade to slimserver 6.5.1. Mostly minor improvements. See the
release notes for details http://www.slimdevices.com/Changelog6.html.
Fix a longstanding bug that caused mDNS support to not actually work.
Take advantage of improvements in rc.subr to reduce the amount of code
in the shutdown path including removing the pgrep dependancy.

SlimServer will work with with MySQL 4.1 so allow that in addition to
5.0. It's not clear if 5.1 will work, but go ahead and allow it for
now.

Upgrade slimserver to version 6.5.0.
The biggest change is that the database is now MySQL instead of SQLite.
Slimserver starts it's own MySQL instance so you don't need to deal with
MySQL configuration, but both the client and server are now
dependencies. For more info see the change log at:
http://www.slimdevices.com/Changelog6.html
Most of the binary perl modules are now port dependencies. YAML-Syck is
not yet because it didn't work. I suspect a version issues (the ports
version is newer).
- Upgrade to slimserver 6.2.2, mostly bugfixes.
- Switch to trying to use faad instead of mov123 (non-existant on
UNIX-like platforms) for AAC files [1]
- Switch to using ogg123 directly for OGG vorbis files since sox
doesn't pull in vorbis support by default.
- Add OPTIONS support for various useful audio utils and default to
depending on the less restrictive ones.

Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.
Upgrade to 6.2.1. Mostly a bugfix release.
Also, switch the style of patch to Bin/build-perl-modules.pl to remove
lines rather than commenting them out.
Upgrade to slimserver 6.2.0. New features include:
- Built-in support WMA radio and files for all operating systems.
- Wake-on-LAN function.
- Seven day alarm.
- Replay gain support.
- Upgrade to slimserver 6.1.1.
- Don't quote IGNORE message.
- Don't put pid file in /var/run/slimserver/. It's now created early
enough to put it directly in /var/run/.
Upgrade to 6.0.2.
The most important fix is probably avoiding database corruption that
caused the wrong artists to be associated with songs/albums. For full
details, see the Changelog.html or:

Add a dependency on expat. Don't bump PORTREVISION since it won't
change the output if it built before and packages wouldn't have built
even if RESTRICTED wasn't set.
Reported by: pointyhat (via kris)
Improve the upgrade process a bit. It was previously possible for
the log file to be owned by root because most files were opened/created
before the uid was switched to non-root. That's not the case anymore
so we need to be sure those files are owned by slimserv:slimserv.
This isn't a problem with new installed because they are made
correctly in the rc script, but on upgrades it may be an issue.
Handle this by resetting the permissions of existing files and
directories during the install.
While I'm here, remove some leftover directory creation. It properly
belongs in the startup script so the files will be created if /var
is clear.
Bump port revision.
Upgrade to 6.0.1.
Stop trying to use ports versions of all the CPAN bits and do things the way
the vendor expects. It's less elegant, but much easier to maintain. Do build
our own versions of binary modules so we have a chance on all platforms, but
use a slightly modified version of their script to do so (mostly make it
non interactive and fetch the files from DISTDIR/DIST_SUBDIR rather
than direct from slimdevices each build).
Mark RESTRICTED. The distfiles and the build contain non-restributable bits.
Some of the people building packages for linux are working on a way around
this (not distributing the firmware and using alternate images), but that's
no here yet.

Use SUB_FILES and SUB_LIST instead of hand rolled sed to generate
softsqueeze.sh and slimserver.sh. Files were repo-copyed to from *.sh
to *.sh.in.

Various enhancements and fixes for slimserver:
- Use a new system to track which files in the CPAN directory should be
installed. As a side effect, generate most of the RUN_DEPENDS list
at runtime.
- Add a script to start softsqueeze. The javavm port and a Jave VM
must be installed to the script to actually work. A dependency was
not added at this point because that's a huge barrier.
- Fix a bug in EXCEPTFILES processing.
- Patch the configuration parsing code to default the cache and
playlist directories to locations under /var/db/slimserver instead
of the weird defaults. This will fix the cache on new installs. [0]
- Bump port revision.

Upgrade to 5.4.0.
Contains library scanning preformance improvements. Some new pluggins.
Small firmware fixes etc. See the change log for details:
http://www.slimdevices.com/su_changelog.html
Upgrade to 5.3.1.
The main change is improved startup time. There are also a number of
bugfixes. See the release notes for details:
http://www.slimdevices.com/su_changelog.html
Upgrade to 5.3.0. This fixes a minior security problem where
"a thirdparty web page could cause your browser to trigger changes to
setup." The other major change is support for the new graphical display
shipping standard on all Squeezeboxes.
Because I had it already done in perforce and doing an upgrade without
it would be more difficult, I have also modified the port to auto
generate its pkg-plist.
