Help Wanted #44

Roger · 2018-02-12T13:52:58Z

I don't have a lot of time this days to work with this project, so I'm looking for people who wants to mantain it, currently is working as I want but could have some improvements, like finishing #25 or releasing new versions(the last one it's from 2014), also packaging on archlinux should have some improvements.

If anyone it's interested, please let me know.

orestisfl · 2018-02-13T11:15:09Z

I can help with the archlinux package, what improvements would you like?

vchimishuk · 2018-02-13T11:30:47Z

@orestisf1993, actually I'm working on that. We want to add support for recently added man page.

Roger · 2018-02-13T11:36:32Z

Would be cool to make the PKGBUILD follows the arch packaging standards, iirc we have to add numpy as an optdep and if we fix the releases, we can also add an stable package(not git one)

vchimishuk · 2018-02-13T11:43:01Z

if we fix the releases

@Roger, what do you mean here under the "fix"?

Roger · 2018-02-13T11:48:06Z

I only mean, have a new release, the last one is from 2014

vchimishuk · 2018-02-13T18:49:53Z

I've updated PKGBUILD. Changes: added some dependencies, use recommended package version, package man page.

trinaldi · 2019-11-16T23:23:05Z

Sent a PR #54

Roger · 2020-01-12T22:42:34Z

@vchimishuk just released new version "1.0.0" can you check the aur package and maybe is time to release a non git version, downloaded from pypi

vchimishuk · 2020-01-23T21:39:13Z

Thanks, @Roger. Will do it soon.

vchimishuk · 2020-01-30T19:09:13Z

@Roger, I have a problem to make the latest version works. I have the same issue for Python 2 & 3. Looks like there is some issue in setup.py. Could you help me with that, please?

Roger · 2020-01-30T22:28:24Z

@vchimishuk this depends on python-gobject, I think we need to add that as a dependency in the PKGBUILD, btw, python2 is not supported anymore in latest version

vchimishuk · 2020-01-31T10:09:57Z

@Roger, the thing is it is installed and present in PKGBUILD. Also, I've tried to experiment with gi instead of gobject in setup.py, as was suggested under some similar issues in Internet -- it doesn't work either.

Replace git describe --long | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g' for git describe --abbrev=0 --tags and it should work. I tested and it seems fine. Somehow the first command is point to the older version.

My PKGBUILD, just in case:

vchimishuk · 2020-02-01T19:48:13Z

@trinaldi, strange things here. Your PKGBUILD causes the same exception at the end. I've checked the actual files installed with the package and it is the latest version from Github repo.

trinaldi · 2020-02-01T19:52:40Z

That's weird, I manage to install it with no issues. There's something else missing, then.

vchimishuk · 2020-02-01T19:56:40Z

I'm not familiar with easy install and stuff, but it looks like problem somewhere on that level. I can import the package when running python shell.

Can you post the output from pacman -Qs python(2?)-gobject ?

Could you send me the escrotum-git package built by you, please? I want to compare its contents with one built on my machine. You can use my email to send it: vchimishuk living on yandex.ru domain.

My output is:

I'll send the .tar.xz file, sure.

EDIT: Make sure you also have python-gobject installed. I tried removing it in able to reproduce your error and:

It's worth a look :)

vchimishuk · 2020-02-01T21:31:00Z

Yeah, I have it. Here is the list of all installed python packages on my machine. https://files.vchimishuk.pp.ua/6638c325-d164-4708-bfd9-e7eab4718b2c
Maybe you can send me yours and I'll try to compare? Maybe some setuptool related package is missed or something.

P. S.
Our .tar.xz files are almost identical.

trinaldi · 2020-02-01T21:43:10Z

All my packages, including Python[2]'s, are described in the BUILDINFO file inside the package.

vchimishuk · 2020-02-01T22:26:52Z

Very strange. I have installed all the python-* packages are present in your list -- same error.

trinaldi · 2020-02-01T22:30:21Z

Indeed. I'm not sure what you can do. Try some Gtk related packages? I'm just brainstorming here... I used GNOME for a long time before i3, maybe some GNOME related package and/or required packages?

vchimishuk · 2020-02-02T12:29:24Z

I've tried all python3 related packages, still cannot find the issue. Thanks, @trinaldi. Will try to dig it further.

guyonvarch · 2020-02-19T09:43:51Z

I wrote this derivation that builds escrotum at version 1.0.1 with nix:
guyonvarch/nixpkgs@dd09550

It requires #56 and #57, that are currently applied as patches in the derivation.

The produced binary works, but it returns some warnings:

(.escrotum-wrapped:426): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:31:36.396: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:68:35: The style property GtkButton:child-displacement-x is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version

It seems that numpy is not available to escrotum, the derivation may be missing something.

trinaldi · 2020-02-19T20:01:12Z

Nice, @guyonvarch .

As I've mentioned, my DE was GNOME and probably some requirements were being met.
A simple search using the warning message can help with it. I've seen some threads but I haven't tried anything.

SammysHP · 2020-04-16T10:38:40Z

@trinaldi

Replace git describe --long | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g' for git describe --abbrev=0 --tags and it should work. I tested and it seems fine. Somehow the first command is point to the older version.

This is the wrong approach. Tags up to 0.2.1 are annotated tags, but 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 are not, thus they are not considered as a release. The proper fix is to create the next tag with git tag -a to create an annotated tag.

SammysHP · 2020-04-16T10:44:31Z

Independent of this issue I created a new PKGBUILD from scratch using the latest Arch Python packaging guidelines and some simplifications.

pkgname=escrotum-git

makedepends=('git' 'python-setuptools')
optdepends=('python-numpy: fast image generation'
            'ffmpeg: screen recording')
provides=('escrotum')
source=('git+https://github.com/Roger/escrotum.git')
md5sums=('SKIP')

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/${pkgname%-git}"
  git describe --long | sed 's/\([^-]*-\)g/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/${pkgname%-git}"
  python setup.py build
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir/${pkgname%-git}"
  python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir" --optimize=1 --skip-build
  install -Dm644 "man/escrotum.1" "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1/escrotum.1"
}

It seems that numpy is not available to escrotum, the derivation may be missing something.

The first three warnings are from your GTK theme.

I don't get the warning about missing numpy with my PKGBUILD.

But I get the last error Unrecognized parameter (quality) passed to PNG saver..
