Threw in two more..

gnucash.dsl
gnumeric.dsl

These are ROUGH BUILDS..
Test with caution. Use a LiveCD.

I'm throwing these out there due to requests for help
in building them..  They need work..  

Hope it helps..

I've sent a few extensions to extensions (at) damnsmalllinux.org and haven't heard anything on them. Did they not make the cut for some reason?

dare2dreamer,
wmapm will be out shortly..

mpc is kinda lonely without a server..
Are you going to be submitting a server to use with it as well ?

Any others I've missed ?

Thanks for the inquiry..

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
