| 1 | So, you want to develop gutenbach, eh? Good! |

| 3 | Gutenbach is a distributed music player built on top of CUPs. It |
|---|
| 4 | essentially enables anybody with access to it to play music from their |
|---|
| 5 | own computer -- all they have to do is "print" to the Gutenbach |
|---|
| 6 | instance as they would any other document! |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | The current repositories for various Gutenbach features are: |
|---|
| 9 | - gutenbach |
|---|
| 10 | - gutenbach-queue |
|---|
| 11 | - gutenbach-remctl |
|---|
| 12 | - gutenbach-rhythmbox-plugin |
|---|
| 13 | - gutenbach-itunes-plugin |
|---|
| 14 | - gutenbach-web |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | All of these are located on GitHub: |
|---|
| 17 | http://github.com/search?langOverride=&q=gutenbach&repo=&start_value=1&type=Repositories |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | Additionally, see README.old for how Gutenbach /used/ to be installed. |
|---|
| 20 | This can sometimes offer insight into how to fix things that are |
|---|
| 21 | broken. |
|---|
| 22 | |

| 23 | Questions or comments should be directed at gutenbach@mit.edu |

|---|
| 25 | TODO: |
|---|
| 26 | - include mixer and channel in debconf, or even better, move it to |
|---|
| 27 | gutenbach-remctl and implement debconf in that package |
|---|
| 28 | - the filter should die and send an error message if it can't find the |
|---|
| 29 | config file, not use defaults |
|---|
| 30 | - this should really not conflict with pulse |
|---|
| 31 | - finish the move to CUPS! |
|---|
| 32 | * the CUPS daemon processes do not inherit groups from the lp user (so, for example, |
|---|
| 33 | even if we add 'lp' to 'audio', the process will not be running in group 'audio'). |
|---|
| 34 | For the time being, I've set the CUPS daemon to always run under group 'audio', |
|---|
| 35 | but there should really be a better solution. |
|---|
| 36 | * lprm does not remove jobs -- we should maybe leave a pid file and kill the mplayer |
|---|
| 37 | process if someone kills the job |
|---|
| 38 | * you can currently play files locally, but not remotely -- why? |
