Is it straightforward to manually update mpd to 0.22.9

[TheOldPresbyope]

As the title, can I manually upgrade mpd and mpc to version 0.22.9 available from elsewhere already compiled for the Pi (armhf) and Debian with the command

Code:

sudo dpkg -i mpd_0.22.9_armhf.deb

without any issues per se ?

cheers

Since you invoked the phrase per se, there's another wonderful Latin phrase used by scholars and logicians which I think applies here: mutatis mutandis

Essentially, it means that this will work "making alternations as necessary".

Since we don't know how the mpd and mpc binaries in this .deb file were built, e.g., what options were selected, etc., nor where dpkg will want to install the binaries we can't know whether you can run the dpkg install and not experience issues.

If you're feeling lucky you could "just do it" after saving the existing mpd and mpc binaries somwhere.

Check the build recipe in the moOde github repo to see the mpd options we use.
