[solved] Installing python package from AUR instead of pip?

xanb · 2015-02-16 11:34:04

Hi,

I want to install sake. But I don't want to install as PIP. Is there any tool in archlinux as checkinstall for making packages?

Thanks,

I assume that you want it to be installed as a package like those in the standard repositories? There's the PKGBUILD + makepkg system which does this.

Well, I see an INSTALL file in the source tarball for the release candidate with the the following command:

python setup.py install

That said, as it's a git repository, you could use PKGBUILDs with git.

I'd take the PKGBUILD for the bdflib-git package, modify it to create a package to build this python module instead and you should be done.

You can take a look into any Python-package in AUR. They are basically all very similar, you probably would just have to change the package's name and the sorce (+ checksums).

And then just build your own Package with makepkg.

Thanks a lot, both of you.

Following your advise, I create this PKGBUILD

# Maintainer: Me

pkgname=sake-git
pkgver=1.0RC
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="
A self-documenting build automation tool"
url="https://github.com/tonyfischetti/sake"
arch=('any')
license=('MIT')
depends=('python')
makedepends=('git')
source=('git://github.com/tonyfischetti/sake.git')
md5sums=('SKIP')

_gitname="master"

pkgver() {
  cd $_gitname
  git show -s --format="%ci" HEAD | sed -e 's/-//g' -e 's/ .*//'
}

build() {
  cd $_gitname

  msg "GIT checkout done or server timeout"
  msg "Starting setup.py..."

  find ./ -type f | xargs -n 1 sed -i 's|/usr/bin/python|/usr/bin/env python2|'
  python setup.py build
}

package() {
  cd $_gitname
  python setup.py install --prefix=/usr --root="$pkgdir"
}

Is that correct?

Thanks a lot,

looks good. In case it is not, you'll notice as you have a non-functioning package installed.

xanb · 2015-02-17 08:05:42

In the official webpage the developers says that package has as dependencies:

    Python 2.7, or above (including 3.4!)
    The networkx python module
    the PyYAML python module
    Graphviz

that is

depends=('python' 'python-networkx' 'python-yaml' 'graphviz')

I have to include these in my package?

Ovion · 2015-02-17 12:48:25

Yes, if upstream depends on these, you should include them. Otherwise, you might end up with a non-functional package (except all of them happen to be already installed anyways, but they should be listed in the depends nevertheless).

What happens?

upstream's setup.py is broken. If you don't have python-setuptools installed, the setup-function in the setup.py will get multiple entries for 'depends', which it obviously doesn't like. Quickfix: add python-setuptools to makedepends (or install it, if you are working with Python you might want to have setuptools installed by default anyways).

real fix: report the issue upstream with your build()-code and the error thrown (the one below). Then they can fix it. You should do the second thing in any case to get the error fixed and not just work around it.
