Description anpaza@mail.ru 2012-04-29 12:10:49 CEST

It would be useful to enable the sidplay plugin while building the mpd rpm, like PLD Linux developers did:

http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/pipermail/pld-cvs-commit/Week-of-Mon-20120213/333100.html

This would allow to play C64 SID files using mpd.

Thanks for the report.

In the current SPEC we have libsidplay-devel as a build requirement, but it turns out mpd wants libsidplay2-devel. Fedora currently only packages the older libsidplay, so until that gets updated you're out of luck.

Perhaps you could open a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com asking for a package update to libsidplay. As soon as the libsidplay2-devel package is available, we will rebuild mpd.

(As a side-note, I will be removing the redundant libsidplay-devel BR from the next mpd package.)

libsidplay2 is available from rpmfusion/nonfree. It seems its license was changed to non-GPL compatible.

The package is named sidplay-libs-2.1.1-11.fc*.src.rpm, which builds into sidplay-libs-2.1.1 and sidplay-libs-devel-2.1.1.

sidplay2 is obsoleted by sidplayfp, which is part of Fedora proper.

siplay-libs is retired [1] and mpd  fails to find libsidplayfp .

I think we might close as can't fix it

MPD still looks for libsidplay2 but we now use libsidplayfp - we'll have to see if upstream supports fp too.
