Hey, look, a release! I’ve decided to start making tarball releases that make it easier to build forked-daapd, especially on embedded platforms.
The tarballs come with the build system already generated (as should any real release) and they also contain pre-generated source files for the ANTLR3-based parsers used in forked-daapd. The pre-generated files will be used if antlr3 is not available for the build.
I expect that pretty much everybody will end up using the generated files, given the feedback I’ve had about ANTLR3. I hope this will also clear the misconception that forked-daapd depends on Java.
I have expanded the installation instructions, making the distinction between building from the git tree and building from the tarballs.
A few more fixes made it to this version since my last post, and Kai also put the final piece to the sort headers by adding sort headers to the song listings.
Tarballs are available at http://alioth.debian.org/~jblache/forked-daapd/. Tarball integrity can be verified with GPG using the matching GPG signature file and my F5D65169 GPG key from the Debian keyring.
