Hi guys, anobody here knows how to install elance Tracking system on archlinux,
Elance only provide rpm and deb packages,
I tried to use rmp2targz and deb2targz, but don't work, I also checked this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XirJietlTfI
and it worked, bit I get an error saying that I need to install adobe air, but I already have installed
can anybody please tell how to install this package??
the package can be found at:
https://www.elance.com/php/tracker/main/trackerDownload (must be logged in on elance),
I uploaded the packages to mediafire if you want to check them out:
deb package
http://www.mediafire.com/?ad9x1h19m8kvomi
rpm
http://www.mediafire.com/?gshoa6cu4odcrt3
I did a PKGBUILD:
pkgname=elance-tracker-system
pkgver=current
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="Elance tracking system"
arch=('i686')
url="https://elance.com/"
license=('unknown')
depends=('libidn')
makedepends=('rpmextract')
options=('emptydirs')
source=("TrackerSetup.rpm")
md5sums=('356798ce170a942e0fbb3ed5e6243e65')
build() {
cd "$pkgdir"
rpmextract.sh ../TrackerSetup.rpm
}
and it works, but when I try to run Tracker, it says:
This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found.
Please download the latest version of the runtime from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getair,
or contact the application author for an updated version.
Notice that I already have installed adobe-air and adobe-air-sdk
kind regards.
thanks

Please search the forums before posting. This is a relatively common issue. That said, I think you'll be needing rpmextract and makepkg.

Could you please post both your PKGBUILD and the error message concerning Adobe Air?

Sure, thanks, I update the post, but here you have:

pkgver=current

arch=('i686')

md5sums=('356798ce170a942e0fbb3ed5e6243e65')
build() {
cd "$pkgdir"
rpmextract.sh ../TrackerSetup.rpm
}
the error:

Have you tried adding adobe-air dependencies to the PKGBUILD? It's also possible that Arch, in it's all-knowing and confusing ways, has installed Air in a nonstandard location, which might foul things up.

I did that, but is not working, it says the same...

You, sir, obviously have no idea how dependencies work (nor how Arch does, if you think it 'all-knowing').
@pahko - you should take a look at other adobe-air based packages on the AUR. adobe-air doesn't even exist in 'Arch' per se, its an AUR package and may or may not be installed in a 'standard' location (which basically means nothing).

Ok, I admit my ignorance, could you please explain? The all knowing bit was intended to be a joke which apparently no one got.

Hi, @ngoonee there are no more packages on aur for adobe air.. only adobe-air-beta but I got the same error...
maybe I need to find a way to install adobe-air... but I don't know how, it is not supported...
thanks

Difficult to say much on this Tracker System, as it is not available for download. It seems there is a 'adobe-air' package that in fact is wrapper that depends on 'adobe-air-sdk'.. Have you tried to install both?
p.s.: forget about the beta package, as it is outdate.

I did this with no luck:
515 cd /home/hydn/Downloads/
516 dir
517 cd tracker
518 ls
519 ls -l TrackerSetup.deb
520 ar tv TrackerSetup.deb
521 ar xv TrackerSetup.deb
522 ls -l data.tar.gz
523 ls
524 tar -xzvf data.tar.gz
525 ls
526 cp -r etc/ /
527 cp -r opt/ /
528 cp -r usr/ /
I still get:

I already installed adobe-air and adobe-air-sdk

I'm still stuck on this. I know this work on Debian based OS. But I would really like to get it working on Arch.
Any ideas?

@hydn no luck until now.. I think elance needs to change to other technology better than using adobe-air.. :S

Yup, I agree. I opened a support ticked and they said they have escalated to devs. Will keep you posted.

@hydn thanks!!!

Ok received a response with things to try (that I've already tried). So again they've escalated the issue this time to their "Engineering team" to "further test that out and see if Arch (specifically is compatible with tracker)."
This sounds pretty positive so hope we have a solution soon.

The last response goes something like... we don't officially support Arch.
...sorry

Can we send a petition or something so they will support Archlinux ?

Actually it turns out there is no more adobe air for Linux, since 2.6, so we must convince Elance to move to another platform, like Java or something else.

Hi all,
did you solved this problem?
Anyway, support still gives the same answers. Please vote http://elance.uservoice.com/forums/3122 … -for-linux hope we can shift them.
