Upgrade to squeezecenter 7.2 which has:
- Added support for Squeezebox Boom
- Squeezebox and Transporter firmware updates to fix a number of issues
- Improved performance in web interface
- New and improved alarm clock
- Improved Rhapsody behavior
Fix the startup script when /var/*/squeezecenter are symlinks.
Upgrade to 7.1, mostly a bugfix release.
Fix an error in the rc.d script where a typo caused a couple variable
names not to expand. Some configuration settings may need to be restored or
/var/db/squeezecenter/%{name}.conf (literally) my be renamed to
squeezecenter.conf.
Remove most bare references to "squeezecenter" in files subject to
substitution. Now I'm ready for what ever they decide to call 8.0. :)
This also fixes the newsyslog.conf entry created by pkg-install.

Fix the softsqueeze wrapper script. The path was wrong in general and more
wrong when PREFIX was set to something other than /usr/local.
Also, invoke the Java VM wrapper as java instead of javavm.
Reported by: Tim Bishop <tim at bishnet dot net> (path issue)
Add CPAN/Encode to the list of directories we exclude since the version of
Encode::Detect found there is now incompatable with the on provided by ports.
Fix the plist.
Reported by: Nick Evans <nevans at talkpoint dot com>
Actually update to 7.0.1 including referencing the right distfile.
In 7.0.1, squeezecenter supports new and old versions of JSON::XS. Keep
the custom module that handles this so things work correctly.

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Don't install copies of GD files they get picked up before the port
version and the port version has now been updates.
Reported by: Christopher Key <cjk32 at cam dot ac dot uk>
The pkg-install script incorrectly listed the pid file path as
/var/run/${name}.pid. It's actually /var/run/${name}/${name}.pid.
Note, users who have previously installed this port will need to manually fix
their netsyslog.conf files.

Install squeezecenter with more normal permissions using the COPYTREE_SHARE
macro.
Use rc.subr's user and group startup functionality instead of the poorly
supported code in squeezecenter.
Switch to the default log layout where mutiple log files end up in
/var/log/slimserver. Changing location is required due to the startup
change and the split layout is easier to handle.
Introduce a port of SqueezeCenter 7.0.0, the latest release of the software
formerly know as SlimServer (audio/slimserver).
The most visiable change is a new AJAX heavy default skin. A
configuration option is available to install with the Classic skin
instead (the new Default is broken with Konqueror). Other changes
can be found in the release notes:

The SqueezeCenter port does not overlap with SlimServer so both
will remain for the time being.
