Kerry and Beagle without Gnome

Edit: I uploaded PKGBUILDs to AUR. Do not use the code shown below. Instead, scroll all the way down for the links.

The Kerry package in AUR is long outdated ( http://tinyurl.com/ycehjl ), so I decided to make my own PKGBUILD.

Then I discovered that the official Beagle in the repos has all the Gnome dependencies. As a KDE user this is not acceptable. I do not have or want Gnome and I do not use Evolution or Thunderbird, either. All this would be installed by default.

So I did two PKGBUILDs. They are my first attempts and probably highly problematic. I would appreciate any criticism regarding these files.

One thing lacking might be some output regarding the use of beagle.

The Beagle PKGBUILD (I renamed the package ~-no-gnome):

# Contributor: mutlu_inek <mutlu_inek>
pkgname=beagle-no-gnome
pkgver=0.2.14
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Desktop search tool without its heavy Gnome dependencies"
url="http://beagle-project.org"
license=(GPL)
depends=('mono>=1.1.13.5' 'monodevelop' 'gtk-sharp-2>=2.4.0' 'gmime>=2.2.0' 
    'libexif>=0.5' 'sqlite3' 'libxss' 'wv>=1.2.0' 'gsf-sharp>=0.6' 'librsvg>=2.0')
makedepends=('intltool' 'zip' 'pkgconfig')
source=(http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/beagle/0.2/beagle-0.2.14.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('c3eeccdafc030a7d283bf85b75f5c0bb')

build() {
  tar -xjf ./beagle-$pkgver.tar.bz2
  cd $startdir/src/beagle-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var 
    --disable-libbeagle --enable-inotify --disable-gui 
    --disable-thunderbird --disable-evolution --disable-python
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install

  mkdir -p ${startdir}/pkg/var/cache/beagle/indexes
  rm -f ${startdir}/pkg/usr/lib/beagle/Backends/ThunderbirdBackends.*
}

This is the info during compiling:

        Beagle Version:           0.2.14
        Target OS:                linux
        inotify?                  yes

        Prefix:                   /usr
        GNOME Prefix:
        KDE Prefix:               /opt/kde

        Evolution support?        no (missing dependencies)
        gsf-sharp?                yes
        wv1?                      yes
        galago-sharp?             no
        libchm?                   no
        google backend?           no (Unsupported)
        Thunderbird backend?      no

        Mozilla Extension?        yes
        Epiphany Extension?       no (Epiphany not installed)

        Local SqliteClient?       yes
        Sqlite version:           3.x

        Enable libbeagle          no
        Enable python bindings    no
        Enable libbeagle docs     no
        Monitor screensaver       yes

        Enable beagle-search GUI  no
        Enable "Open With" menu   yes

And these are the packages that were installed as dependencies. I wish mono would not depend on the gnome-panel.

The Kerry PKGBUILD:

# Contributor : mutlu_inek <mutlu_inek>
pkgname=kerry
pkgver=0.2.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A KDE gui for the Beagle desktop search tool"
url="http://en.opensuse.org/Kerry"
license="GPL"
depends=('kdelibs' 'beagle-no-gnome')
source=(http://developer.kde.org/~binner/kerry/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2) 
md5sums=('c5885de1b18c9c7cf944d8845eb9c64c')

build() {
  tar -xjf ./$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
} 

That is it.

By the way: it works like a charm.

Re: Kerry and Beagle without Gnome

"If you just provide an alternate version of an already existing package, use conflicts (and provides if that package is required by others)." (from the Arch Packaging Standards page)

I guess that is what I would have to straighten out since the beagle-no-gnome PKGBUILD is an alternative version and required by kerry. Then the dependency in kerry is wrong, too.

Does anyone know how to do this properly?

Re: Kerry and Beagle without Gnome

File a bug report. Evolution-sharp is not a required dependency. As for other gnome deps, they are required by beagle. That's just how it was built.

edit: after looking into it some more, gnome-sharp should be changed to gtk-sharp-2. that ought to cut down on the gnome deps.

File a bug report. Evolution-sharp is not a required dependency. As for other gnome deps, they are required by beagle. That's just how it was built.

Beagle's package maintainer JGC argued that "Since beagle is bloated anyways because of the gtk-sharp dependencies, I added evolution-sharp aswell", so I assumed nothing is going to change and created these PKGBUILDs for my own use. Maybe I should file a bug report. (For the quote see: http://tinyurl.com/yfdybb )

edit: after looking into it some more, gnome-sharp should be changed to gtk-sharp-2. that ought to cut down on the gnome deps.

That is exactly what I did (see above).

Re: Kerry and Beagle without Gnome

I have corrected a few initial mistakes and uploaded both PKGBUILDs to AUR (I changed the name of the kerry package to kerry-no-gnome).

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=8070
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=8072

If you like these packages, please vote in favor of them. And report any errors and post ideas/tips below. Thank you.
