GTK+ interface that runs on Linux and Mac systems.

-See CHANGES for details of recent changes to DisOrder and README.upgrades for
-upgrade instructions.
+See CHANGES.html for details of recent changes to DisOrder and README.upgrades
+for upgrade instructions.
-The server supports Linux and can be made to work on a Mac (see README.mac).
-The clients work on both Linux and the Mac. It could probably be ported to
-some other UNIX variants without too much effort. Things you will need:
+Platform support:
+ Linux Well tested on Debian
+ Mac OS X Disobedience well tested, server somewhat tested; use fink
+ FreeBSD Scantily tested; use ports for dependencies
+It could probably be ported to some other UNIX variants without too much
+effort.
Build dependencies:
Name Tested Notes
"Tested" means I've built against that version; earlier or later versions will
often work too.
-Runtime dependencies:
- * Web server:
- + Apache 1.3.x works for me, but anything that supports CGI and
- authentication should be suitable.
- * Separate player programs are no longer required (but may still be used)
+For the web interface to work you will additionally need a web server. I've
+had both Apache 1.3.x and 2.x working. Anything that supports CGI should be
+OK.
-Development dependencies (only developers will need these):
- Automake 1.10 AM_PATH_PYTHON not good enough in 1.7
- Autoconf 2.61
- Libtool 1.5.22 1.4 not good enough
- Bazaar (bzr)
-
-On Debian you might ensure you have the required packages as follows:
- apt-get install gcc libc-dev automake autoconf libtool libgtk2.0-dev \
- libgc-dev libgcrypt-dev libpcre3-dev libvorbis-dev \
- libao-dev libmad0-dev libasound2-dev libdb4.3-dev \
- libflac-dev

Installation
============
IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from an earlier version, see README.upgrades.
-On a Debian or Ubuntu system, if you install from .deb files then you should be
-able to skip steps 1 to 6 and configure it via debconf. This is strongly
-recommended!
+Debian/Ubuntu: steps 1 to 6 are dealt with automatically if you use the .deb
+files.
+
+OX X/FreeBSD/other Linux: after installation (step 1 and 2), running
+'sudo bash scripts/setup' will cover steps 3 to 6. If it doesn't work on your
+platform, please get in touch.
1. Build the software. Do something like this:
- ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
- make
+ ./configure
+ make # on FreeBSD use gmake
- See INSTALL for more details about driving configure. The precise set of
- options you pass to configure is up to you, if you like configuration being
- in /usr/local/etc or wherever then that should work.
+ See INSTALL or ./configure --help for more details about driving configure.
If you only want to build a subset of DisOrder, specify one or more of the
following options:
See README.client for setting up a standalone client (or read the
disobedience man page).
+ To build .debs on Debian/Ubuntu, use:
+ fakeroot debian/rules binary
+
2. Install it. Most of the installation is done via the install target:
make installdirs install
The CGI interface has to be installed separately; see under 'Web Interface'
below.
+ NB steps 3 to 6 are covered by scripts/setup. It should work on FreeBSD, OS
+ X and Linux and could be adapted to other platforms.
+
3. Create a 'jukebox' user and group, with the jukebox group being the default
group of the jukebox user. The server will run as this user and group.
Check that this user can read your music files and write to the audio
Disobedience from some other host, File->Login allows hostnames, passwords
etc to be configured.
+ Alternatively, after setting up the web interface (below), it's possible to
+ allow users to register themselves without operator involvement.
+
9. Optionally source completion.bash from /etc/profile or similar, for
example:
"Thought I was a gonner baby, but I'm bullet proof"
-As above, if you install from a .deb, much of the work will be done
-automatically.
+Debian/Ubuntu: the .deb files will do the setup here automatically.
+
+OS X/FreeBSD/other Linux: scripts/setup as referred to above will do the setup
+here automatically.
You need to configure a number of things to make this work:
4. Install disorder.cgi in an appropriate location. Remember to make it
executable. Example:
- install -m 755 server/disorder.cgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/disorder
+ install -m 755 cgi/disorder.cgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/disorder
5. Try it out. You should be able to perform read-only operations straight
away, and after visiting the 'Login' page to authenticate, perform other
