Hello everyone, I've been maintaining Debian packages (for sid) of icecast2, libshout, and ices2 for several months now; my production servers run Debian, and these packages make using icecast on them even more easily manageable. They've been quite solid and reliable in all of the situations I've encountered, and I've had nothing but positive reports from a couple of testers. Since the libshout 2.0 release just happened, I've been dusting them off and making final preparations at getting the packages accepted into the main Debian distribution. In the process, I've created backports to Debian's current stable release, 3.0r1 (aka. Woody). Since I've seen a couple requests and reports here about people trying to run icecast 2 on Woody, I thought perhaps others might be interested in these packages. Backports of the current libogg and libvorbis 1.0.0 packages have also been provided, since Woody only has 1.0rc3. They're available at these apt sources: deb http://rune.thebasement.org/debian stable keegan deb-src http://rune.thebasement.org/debian stable keegan I'll be making new builds regularly, probably weekly.

Debian 3.0r1 is our server platform too, and I'm glad to use official .deb files instead of building myself. Your work is very much appreciated!

We should check in your debian/ dir into the official tree and that way we can be sure to sync releases. Also people using CVS snapshots will be able to build their own debs. Are you planning on packaging ices 0.3 as well? jack. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

I've been maintaining my own Subversion repository for the packaging stuff, but this would certainly make things easier for bleeding-edge users, and release synchronization is definitely a good thing. I've sent Ralph a quick message.> Are you planning on packaging ices 0.3 as well?I had not previously, because I don't personally have any need for MP3 streaming, since Ogg Vorbis is working so well. :) I've sent a quick note to a Debian developer who had expressed interest in the past; if he is no longer interested, I'll make up some packages myself.

To echo the other poster, thanks a lot! We, too, use Debian woody as our server environment. So far, I've been using the install from CVS to /usr/local/ method, which works fine for now. I will certainly switch to the Debian packages eventually though. How long do you expect it will take for them to be in the main archives? Your packages are well appreciated. -- Luke Stodola minus273point16c@fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Email service worth paying for.

As you probably know, this doesn't mean they will be available immediately in stable; they will be included with the next release.> Your packages are well appreciated.I'm glad. :) - Keegan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I've compiled Keegan's libogg, libvorbis, and icecast2 packages for woody/powerpc, available at http://showcase.stjacademy.org/debianpackages/ if anyone wants them. Keegan, feel fry to put these on your site. I was unable to get a libshout (and therefore IceS) package compiled easily; there were too many unmet build-deps when running woody that I didn't want to install. Keegan, how hard is it to cross-compile to powerpc? If you wouldn't mind making some PPC versions of your packages, I'd be happy to test them.

The Debian revisions are completely different; in fact, they match the current unstable versions, which is going to cause some very confusing conflicts for anyone who tries to upgrade them! (I mean for libogg and libvorbis; icecast2 is numbered correctly, but is still unusable without the other two...) Try to 'apt-get source -b' my packages on your build machine, maybe?> I was unable to get a libshout (and therefore IceS) package compiled > easily; there were too many unmet build-deps when running woody that I > didn't want to install.Perhaps this is because you used the unstable source packages instead of my backports? I haven't read the diffs yet but it seems like this is what has happened, judging by the revision numbers. The libshout packages in unstable use a build system which is not yet available in woody, called the common Debian build system (cdbs). Did you perhaps have a 'deb-src' entry for unstable in your sources.list?> Keegan, how hard is it to cross-compile to > powerpc?

Thanks.I've never tried cross-compiling, but perhaps I can look into it, if you can't figure out an easy, repeatable way of rebuilding my source packages. It really shouldn't be difficult, though; I can't understand why the build-dependancies would be any different on powerpc from i386. Testing will be greatly appreciated, thanks! I'm glad at the prospect of adding powerpc support to these backports. By the way, I'm planning on preparing updated backports, probably this weekend, of at least ices2 and icecast2. I'm hoping to get onto a bi-weekly update schedule for these, along with the versions I've got in unstable.
