MusicBrainz Picard Tagger?

johntramp · 2006-03-02 22:05:39

Hey. Has anyone here managed to get the Picard tagger running on Arch?

I tried to build it twice but didn't get it to work. It'd be super if someone could..

codemac · 2006-03-03 10:56:39

I never got it to build either. It'll be great when it finally... works.

I just got it running here. picard itself doesn't need building - it just runs from wherever you untar it (I'll do a PKGBUILD later, of course). However, there is a problem with two of the deps. The python bindings for both musicbrainz and tunepimp are required, and are provided in the same tarballs as the libs themselves. However, I wasn't able to build it all in one PKGBUILD, because setup.py for the bindings looks for the lib in /usr/lib, which of course hasn't been installed yet. My kludge to get it going was to build the libs, install, run makepkg again to build the libs + bindings, and finally reinstall. Any python gurus out there know if I can point setup.py at $startdir/pkg/usr/lib instead? Here are the PKGBUILDs I'm using - the official ones, basically, with added python:

<edit>This package structure is now called Plan A, and I've removed the PKGBUILDs, as they are superceded by the working Plan A ones below.</edit>

tomk · 2006-03-04 10:00:26

Until a better idea comes along, I'm doing separate packages for the python stuff. <edit>This is now known as Plan B</edit>. Ignore those PKGBUILDs above <edit> since removed</edit> - here's everything you need.

If you don't already have them, get wxpython, musicbrainz and tunepimp from [extra], and build python-ctypes from the AUR. Then build the following:

python-musicbrainz

# Contributor: Tom Killian <tomk@runbox.com>

pkgname=python-musicbrainz
pkgver=2.1.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="python bindings for the MusicBrainz client library"

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/libmusicbrainz-$pkgver/python
  python setup.py install --root=$startdir/pkg
}

python-tunepimp

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/libtunepimp-$pkgver/python
  python setup.py build
  python setup.py install --root=$startdir/pkg
}

picard

# Contributor: Tom Killian <tomk@runbox.com>

pkgname=picard
pkgver=0.6.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Next generation album-oriented MusicBrainz tagger"
depends=('wxpython' 'python-musicbrainz' 'python-tunepimp')

md5sums=('82c2da853ba4c5a0ab8e1baf3fb494eb')
url="https://musicbrainz.helixcommunity.org/"
license=('GPL' 'custom')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src
  
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/{bin,share/picard}
  cp -r $pkgname-$pkgver/* $startdir/pkg/usr/share/picard
  echo "#!/bin/sh" >> $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/picard
  echo "/usr/share/picard/tagger.py" >> $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/picard
  chmod 755 $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/picard
  install -D $pkgname-$pkgver/COPYING $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/picard/COPYING
}

It's still beta, and IMO it shows - not ready for primetime just yet. Then again, I've never used any other tagging apps, so I'm not the best judge. Feedback from people who actually use this kind of stuff would be appreciated.

P.S. Check out the button on the Options dialog - picard, groan.....

tomk · 2006-03-05 21:20:04

Right - I've now sorted out Plan A i.e. python-enabled musicbrainz and tunepimp packages. The best way to do this, of course, is to apply the necessary changes to the official packages, and I've submitted a feature request (#4111). While we're waiting, the following is a bit tidier than Plan B.

Get wxpython and python-ctypes, as above. Build the following versions of musicbrainz, tunepimp, and picard:

musicbrainz

# Maintainer: dorphell <dorphell@archlinux.org>
# Contributor: Tom Newsom <Jeepster@gmx.co.uk>
# Maintainer : Sarah Hay <sarah@archlinux.org>

pkgname=musicbrainz
pkgver=2.1.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="MusicBrainz is the second generation incarnation of the CD Index"
depends=('gcc' 'expat' ' python-ctypes')
source=(http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/libmusicbrainz-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('88d35af903665fecbdee77eb6d5e6cdd')
url="http://www.musicbrainz.org/index.html"

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/lib$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
  
  # Build python bindings
  cd python
  # Change library path to package root
  sed -i "s|/usr/local/lib|$startdir/pkg/usr/lib|" musicbrainz.py
  python setup.py install --root=$startdir/pkg
  
  find $startdir/pkg -name '*.la' -exec rm {} ;
}

tunepimp

# Maintainer: Tobias Powalowski <tpowa@archlinux.org>

pkgname=tunepimp
pkgver=0.4.2
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="The TunePimp library (also referred to as libtunepimp) is a development library geared towards developers who wish to create MusicBrainz enabled tagging applications."
depends=('musicbrainz' 'zlib' 'libmad' 'flac' 'libvorbis' 'python')
replaces=('trm')
source=(http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/lib$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
url="http://www.musicbrainz.org/products/tunepimp/"

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/lib$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/pkgconfig
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install

  # Build python bindings
  cd python
  # Change library path to package root
  sed -i "s|/usr/local/lib|$startdir/pkg/usr/lib|" tunepimp/tunepimp.py
  python setup.py build
  python setup.py install --root=$startdir/pkg
      
  # libtoolslay
  find $startdir/pkg -name '*.la' -exec rm {} ;
}
md5sums=('10b9e4a2f1930aed78ef7ddaebbe0fde')

picard - Note the dependency changes compared to the version above.

# Contributor: Tom Killian <tomk@runbox.com>

pkgname=picard
pkgver=0.6.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Next generation album-oriented MusicBrainz tagger"
depends=('wxpython' 'musicbrainz>=2.1.2-1' 'tunepimp>=0.4.2-2')
source=(https://helixcommunity.org/download.php/1791/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('82c2da853ba4c5a0ab8e1baf3fb494eb')
url="https://musicbrainz.helixcommunity.org/"
license=('GPL' 'custom')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src
 
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/{bin,share/picard}
  cp -r $pkgname-$pkgver/* $startdir/pkg/usr/share/picard
  echo "#!/bin/sh" >> $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/picard
  echo "/usr/share/picard/tagger.py" >> $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/picard
  chmod 755 $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/picard
  install -D $pkgname-$pkgver/COPYING $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/picard/COPYING
}

And that's it. For now, I'm going to put the Plan B versions in the AUR, but if/when the feature request is actioned, I'll change to Plan A.

tomk, thanks a lot for your contribution here greatly appreciated!

and it works! cheers

tomk · 2006-03-06 08:27:20

My pleasure, johntramp, and glad it's working for you. Did you go for Plan A or Plan B?

_Gandalf_ · 2006-03-06 11:20:15

Any screenshots guys? :oops:

tomk · 2006-03-06 12:17:37

This is the screenie from helixcommunity.org - I'll post some of my own later.

murkus · 2006-03-06 15:01:33

Thanks!

I got it to work using method A. :-D

tomk · 2006-03-18 09:39:05

FYI Picard users - the python bindings have now been added to the official tunepimp package. If you used plan A above, upgrade tunepimp in the usual way. If you used plan B, remove python-tunepimp first, as follows:

pacman -Rd python-tunepimp

Then install the new tunepimp package.

I've updated the AUR packages to reflect this.

augustob · 2006-04-07 19:38:57

To whom it may interest (I think many people in this thread ), I made PKGBUILDs for Picard 0.7.0 Beta 2 (the one with Audio Fingerprinting) and its dependencies. I just need a little extra help and maybe some interaction with you, tomk, to maybe upload them to AUR.

The PKGBUILDs and some questions about making packages for Arch are in this thread:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=20429

(Sorry for ressurecting this thread, I hope it's OK..)

tomk · 2006-04-07 21:01:10

No problem with the resurrection, augustob, but I'm going to answer you in the other thread, because that's where your questions are.

augustob · 2006-04-08 02:54:28

Done and done, enjoy!

hightower · 2006-04-19 17:38:32

I had some problems when compiling python-ctypes. makepkg didn't find the patch-file to compile ctypes with gcc 4.0.

I found this page http://oubiwann.blogspot.com/2006/01/ct … cc-40.html which helped me to do the necessary changes in the source code.

tomk · 2006-04-19 19:38:56

ctypes is in the community repo now, thanks to willysilly, so you can just install it with pacman.
