Package: mpd Version: 0.13.1-3 Severity: normal Per the man page, mpd --kill is the proper way to shut down mpd. When successful, this causes the current state to be written out, and a clean, graceful shutdown. mpd_stop from /etc/init.d/mpd is not making use of mpd --kill, but rather (it seems; I've not chased things down, but would be happy to) sends SIGTERM directly. This prevents, for instance, a new mpd from resuming at the track/position from when it was stopped. In the worst case, it can lead to database mangling as reported in another bug.
Preferably, mpd would catch SIGTERM and interpret it as an "mpd --kill" invocation. Until then, the package should try to call mpd --kill before sending a SIGTERM/SIGKILL. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-rc5 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mpd depends on: ii adduser 3.106 add and remove users and groups ii libao2 0.8.8-4 Cross Platform Audio Output Librar ii libasound2 1.0.16-2 ALSA library ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-7 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libavahi-client3 0.6.22-2 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.22-2 Avahi common library ii libc6 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfaad0 2.6.1-2 freeware Advanced Audio Decoder - ii libflac8 1.2.1-1.1 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtim ii libid3tag0 0.15.1b-10 ID3 tag reading library from the M ii libjack0 0.109.2-1.1 JACK Audio Connection Kit (librari ii libmad0 0.15.1b-3 MPEG audio decoder library ii libmikmod2 3.1.11-a-6 A portable sound library ii libmpcdec3 1.2.2-1 Musepack (MPC) format library ii libogg0 1.1.3-3 Ogg Bitstream Library ii libpulse0 0.9.9-1 PulseAudio client libraries ii libsamplerate0 0.1.2-5 audio rate conversion library ii libshout3 2.2.2-2 MP3/Ogg Vorbis broadcast streaming ii libvorbis0a 1.2.0.dfsg-3 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisenc2 1.2.0.dfsg-3 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisfile3 1.2.0.dfsg-3 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime mpd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
