Account protected sources with makepkg

Calrama · 2011-10-16 19:30:07

Hi, so I made a PKGBUILD for something called HTS, which is a patch for HTK. The thing is, that to download the HTK source, one needs an account there (easily enough set up), but as far as I can tell, the source array does not support account protected sources (probably because nearly no one uses this), so I needed to use wget with --user and --password in the build() function.

My question is whether there is a better/ more elegant solution for that, because the code looks kinda ugly:

# Maintainer: Moritz Maxeiner <moritz@ucworks.org>
pkgname=hts
pkgver=2.2
_htkver=3.4.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Modified version (patch) of the Hidden Markov Model Toolkit (htk)."
arch=('i686')
url="http://hts.sp.nitech.ac.jp/"
license=('custom')
depends=('libx11')
makedepends=('wget' 'patch')
conflicts=(htk)
source=(http://hts.sp.nitech.ac.jp/archives/$pkgver/HTS-${pkgver}_for_HTK-$_htkver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('76b7674a01f1edfeb5b4bbca4f5e39a2')

build() {
  cd $srcdir

  # HTK account necessary to download HTK source code
  echo "You need an HTK account to download the source base HTS uses."
  echo "You can create such an account here: http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/register.shtml"
  echo "Please proceed only if you have one, the build will fail otherwise!"
  echo
  echo -n "Please enter your HTK username: "
  read username
  echo -n "Please enter your HTK password: "
  read password

  # Get the htk source code
  wget --user=$username --password=$password http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/ftp/software/HTK-$_htkver.tar.gz
  if [ $(md5sum HTK-$_htkver.tar.gz) != "b3fc12006b0af12f59cd573c07aa4c1d" ]; then
    echo "HTK md5sum wrong"
    return 1
  fi
  wget --user=$username --password=$password http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/ftp/software/hdecode/HDecode-$_htkver.tar.gz
  if [ $(md5sum HDecode-$_htkver.tar.gz) != "4e332a7fea6db58751cec878b80c3575" ]; then
    echo "HDecode md5sum wrong"
    return 1
  fi
  bsdtar -xf HTK-$_htkver.tar.gz
  bsdtar -xf HDecode-$_htkver.tar.gz
  cd htk
  echo "Patching HTK source base to HTS..."
  patch -p1 -d . < "./../HTS-${pkgver}_for_HTK-$_htkver.patch"

  echo "Beginning build..."
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir/htk"
  make prefix="$pkgdir/usr" install

  # The HTK license applying to the package
  install -D -m644 LICENSE ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE
  # The HTS license applying to the patch
  install -D -m644 $srcdir/COPYING ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/COPYING
}

You can tell users to download the code themselves, place it in the same directory as the PKGBUILD, patches etc.

Thanks, that would indeed clean up code, although I would like something where the user does not have to download the code themselves more.

You could also host the source yourself (depending on legality issues of course).

I think it should be safe to assume that Arch users are perfectly capable of downloading source themselves .
