Package: mpd Version: 0.21.22-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I'd like to disable mpd at startup to only enable it when I need it. (e.g., in a user console : mpd ; ncmpc ; mpd --kill;) I can do stuff like 'update-rc.d mpd disable' or 'update-rc.d -f mpd remove' or 'insserv -r mpd', but none of them will permanently disable mpd : the /etc/rc?.d/*mpd files will be reinstalled at each upgrade. The only way I've found to disable the service permanently is to comment the line : pid_file "/run/mpd/pid" in the "/etc/mpd.conf" and save the file under "/etc/mpd.local", and then to add the line : MPDCONF=/etc/mpd.local in "/etc/default/mpd". I haven't tested this solution, but it should work. It looks ugly though. It would be better if there was an "AUTOSTART=(true|false)" option or something similar in /etc/default/mpd , like in most debian services.
