myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: New extensions for August



Great news! - gnucash, gnumeric in the pipeline,
JPilot - just what I wanted. thanks for all the effort ke4nt.

As MPD typically requires a large hard drive to use (for the music collection), I figured focusing on the client side for DSL made more sense. However, I suppose I can try to knock up a server extension if it helps get it into the repo.

Also, I have gotten wmmpc working, which might make more sense for some users who are obsessed with dockapps. I was thinking of putting together a combination extension of both of the clients.

Anyone know a good "idiot simple" way of detecting if the MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT variables are set, and if not prompting the user for them? I thought a little lua app would make sense for DSL, but my skills in that arena are bluntly non-existant.

Well you could do it in a shell script (ok its not a idea solution but you said you wanted something simple).

Code Sample
if [ -z "$MPD_HOST" ]; then
 echo -n "Enter MPD Host:"
 read MPD_HOST
fi
if [ -z "$MPD_PORT" ]; then
 echo -n "Enter MPD Port:"
 read MPD_PORT
fi
export MPD_HOST MPD_PORT
