[Request] gPapers

Hello,

I'd like to know if someone can write a PKGBUILD for the app gPapers. It is SVN-only at the moment.

"This is gPapers, the open-sourced, Gnome based digital library manager. Think of it as an iTunes for your PDFs. "

http://code.google.com/p/gpapers/wiki/Installation

Thanks!

Re: [Request] gPapers

Just in case someone is able to build this svn package, I'd appreciate it very much.
Thanks.

/usr/lib/python2.6/gpapers ~

note: django provides a web-based administrative tool for your database.  to use it, uncomment the commented-out lines under INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py and run the following:
         ./manage.py runserver
      then go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gPapers.py", line 90, in <module>
    import deseb
ImportError: No module named deseb
could not import deseb [http://code.google.com/p/deseb/].  try running (from "/usr/lib/python2.6/gpapers/"):
    svn checkout http://deseb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/deseb

Re: [Request] gPapers

Sorry, you are right. The subdirectory must have been in my build directory from some previous download. Try the -s PGKGBUILD, I just put to aur.

Re: [Request] gPapers

Well, it runs.  But it fails to import anything.  This isn't likely to be your fault Thanks for your efforts!  I'll watch this project with interest...in the meantime I'll try to debug it a little...

Re: [Request] gPapers

Wow.  I got pretty excited about this but I guess I should've looked harder.

The issue is known, but the project hasn't seen activity since April and it's likely dead.  The next step to try to get it to work might be to install an older version of django-svn, but with the project in its current state it might not be worth it.

EDIT: It works with version 7869, which I tried at random.

Re: [Request] gPapers

Ah!  I'm dumb.  The svn features from django he was using have gone stable.  Instead of using Django-svn, regular django works (1.0.2 at the time of this writing)
