python version name problem / zeroinstall-injector

pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The Zero Install Injector (0launch)"
url="http://0install.net/injector.html"
license="LGPL"
depends=(python gnupg pygtk)
makedepends=(python gnupg)
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zero-install/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz.gpg)
md5sums=()

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/
  gpg --recv-key --keyserver www.keyserver.net 59A53CC1
  gpg $pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz.gpg
  tar xzf $pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz
  cd $pkgname-$pkgver
  python setup.py install --home $startdir/pkg/usr install
  cd $startdir/pkg
  mv usr/bin bin
  mv usr/lib/python usr/lib/python2.4
}

Moving around a few directories in the pkg directory doesn't seem too bad, but one of those moves introduces a version number of another package into a directory name. I could use a line of sed to extract the version number of python from 'python -V'. Right now that returns 'Python 2.4.1', but I don't dare to take the bet it will work with future versions of python.

Maybe I should let it tell the user on installation that he needs to put export PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/python:/usr/lib/python2.4" in /etc/profile? But IIUC then all of python will stop working as soon as we get version 2.5!

What do you guys think?

Anyway, the PKGBUILD does work, and that's the most important

Re: python version name problem / zeroinstall-injector

(my sed code would break on longer or shorter version numbers)

Re: python version name problem / zeroinstall-injector

If you're going to use the PKGBUILD above, you might also want the following PKGBUILD and install files:

pkgname=ROX-All
pkgver=0.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="links to packages available trough zero install (/usr/share/apps)"
url="http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/ROX-All"
license=
depends=(zeroinstall-injector)
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=ROX-All.install
source=(http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rox/$pkgname-$pkgver.tgz)
md5sums=('30dc831b3f94a14c9786ada8f28295a2')

build() {
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share
  cp -r $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver $startdir/pkg/usr/share/apps
  rm -r $startdir/pkg/usr/share/apps/0launch $startdir/pkg/usr/share/apps/README
}

# arg 1:  the new package version
post_install() {
  echo
  echo --> ROX-All
  echo --> Please run the following command as a user (no root rights needed!)
  echo --> /usr/share/apps/rox /usr/share/apps
  echo
  /bin/true
}

op=$1
shift
$op $*
