Probably the minidlna plugin, as that is the closest thing to MinimServer.

Quote:Are you intending that the plugin would directly manipulate the System V init files for MinimServer? This should only be done via the minimserver/bin/setup command.

Manipulate, no, I'm just saying that is how the plugin would control MinimServer, by calling, e.g., 'service minimserver stop' or 'update-rc.d minimserver disable'. i.e. the standard SysInitV/Debian of controlling installed services.

Quote:For any kind of release (major or minor), the user would need to reinstall MinimServer. MinimWatch can install updates but not releases.

Ah, okay, I guess have never installed a new release of MinimServer then, only the updates. In this case, Debian packaging would be ideal, as new releases could be installed very easily/semi-automatically.
