[request] iRate

Hi all !

iRate is a very interresting project. Just look at http://irate.sourceforge.net/index.html

The problem, I am not able to compile it on arch :-(

This program depend on apache-ant or gcj...

well, if somebody is able to compile it, and could make a PKGBUILD, it would be wonderfull !

Thanks a lot
Namlook :-)

Re: [request] iRate

I've always run iRate on Java Web Start (although not in a good while now), do  you really need a package?

Use /opt/j2re/javaws/javaws instead of Java. If you associate .jnlp files with javaws in your browser, you'll be able to click .jnlp links and start the programs automatically.

Re: [request] iRate

Thanks very much ! It works well ! This software is pretty good !

I don't know you but each time I want to start the program I have to do

$ /opt/j2re/javaws/javaw irate-client-swt.jnlp

Ok I created an alias but I think that maybe we can atomatise this with a PKGBUILD... no ?

This is the PKGBUILD I made. I think (not sure) there is some bugs so if somebody could make a try, it will be very kind.

pkgname=irate
pkgver=0.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="iRATE radio is a collaborative filtering system for music"
url="http://irate.sourceforge.net/index.html"
license="'gpl'"
depends=('j2re')
source=(http://members.westnet.com.au/takahe/webstart.stable/irate-client-swt.jnlp)
md5sums=('18aeb1e965017c84454aea5f1bb51622')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/opt/irate/
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin
  mv $startdir/src/irate-client-swt.jnlp $startdir/pkg/opt/irate/
  /opt/j2re/javaws/javaws $startdir/pkg/opt/irate/irate-client-swt.jnlp
  echo '#!/bin/sh' > $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/irate
  echo '/opt/j2re/javaws/javaws /opt/irate/irate-client-swt.jnlp' >> $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/irate
  chmod 777  $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/irate
}

thanks

Re: [request] iRate

Well, this thread is almost 4 years old, but in case someone is searching for it in the forums, and comes across this thread, I just want to say, that iRate is now in AUR.
