[REQUEST] Livestreamer Twitch GUI

Name: livestreamer-twitch-gui
Description: A multi platform Twitch.tv browser for Livestreamer
URL: https://github.com/bastimeyer/livestreamer-twitch-gui
Licence: MIT
Depenencies: not sure of all, but definitely libnotify and gconf
Makedepends: Nodejs and some other nodejs depends.

This is a very nice GUI for livestreamer that lets you watch Twitch streams outside of a browser (and without that nasty Flash dependency). I was surprised this wasn't on the AUR, but I could not work out how to compile it in an "Arch-Like" way, nor could I find a good list of dependencies and makedependencies. If anyone would be kind enough to produce a good package that would be very helpful.

Re: [REQUEST] Livestreamer Twitch GUI

This is my first PKGBUILD. So I need your help to complete it...

pkgname=livestreamer-twitch-gui
pkgver=0.7.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='A multi platform Twitch.tv browser for Livestreamer'
arch=('any')
url="https://github.com/bastimeyer/livestreamer-twitch-gui"
license=('MIT')
depends=('nodejs' 'livestreamer')


source=("https://github.com/bastimeyer/${pkgname}/archive/v${pkgver}.tar.gz")
md5sums=('d62ec5f54fc2e7114c02f8ad0be1f938')


package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  npm install -g grunt-cli bower
  npm install
  grunt release

}

Well, my problem is that I get an error:

npm ERR! tar.unpack untar error /home/alex/.npm/grunt-cli/0.1.13/package.tgz

So, I think that 'npm' needs root permissions (according to their installation instructions)  but I don't know how to set it.
I have very limited knowledge on coding and wiki page it very difficult for me to understand.
So any help is welcome...

If you download the 32 or 64 bit .tar.gz and extract them, the program works (but I think it needs pulseaudio)

Re: [REQUEST] Livestreamer Twitch GUI

You somehow need to tell npm to install into $pkgdir instead of the live filesystem.

Re: [REQUEST] Livestreamer Twitch GUI

I hadn't seen your request, but I just added a package for this. At the moment it doesn't build from git, it just uses the binary downloads.

Re: [REQUEST] Livestreamer Twitch GUI

I worked on alex.theoto's PKGBUILD

It builds on my system. Building from releases is not supported, only building from git is. I removed the metadata check and --forced grunt to build it anyway. The icons are not packaged though. That's too much work for me right now.

Certainly, someone could improve this more. (include icons and a .desktop file)

pkgname=livestreamer-twitch-gui
pkgver=0.7.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='A multi platform Twitch.tv browser for Livestreamer'
arch=('any')
url="https://github.com/bastimeyer/livestreamer-twitch-gui"
license=('MIT')
depends=('nodejs' 'livestreamer')


source=("https://github.com/bastimeyer/${pkgname}/archive/v${pkgver}.tar.gz")
md5sums=('d62ec5f54fc2e7114c02f8ad0be1f938')


build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  npm install grunt-cli bower
  npm install
  rm build/tasks/custom/metadata.js
  ./node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt release --force
}
package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/build/releases/$pkgname/*"
  mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname"
  cp `find -maxdepth 1 -type f` "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname"
  mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
  ln -s "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname/start.sh" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname"
}

EDIT: I just had it working, when I built from git. Now it's broken...

Re: [REQUEST] Livestreamer Twitch GUI

Well, after some research I found out that the 'grunt-cli' and 'bower' are already installed on my system (probably from 'modejs').

I tried to install without PKGBUILD.
As root used the commands to build it and I couldn't build it. I get an error:

[root@LenovoArch livestreamer-twitch-gui-0.7.1]# npm install
npm WARN prefer global bower@1.3.12 should be installed with -g
npm WARN prefer global grunt-cli@0.1.13 should be installed with -g
npm WARN cannot run in wd livestreamer-twitch-gui@0.7.1 bower --config.interactive=false install (wd=/home/alex/aur/live/src/livestreamer-twitch-gui-0.7.1)


[root@LenovoArch livestreamer-twitch-gui-0.7.1]# grunt release

Running "clean:tmp" (clean) task

Running "metadata:all" (metadata) task
Fatal error: fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

So, something is wrong.

@themax It doesn't build.
@InfernoZeus Your package is working.
@RibShark your package is available.

I think this request is over.
Thank you folks ...

EDIT:
Please don't forget to mark your port as 'solved'

Re: [REQUEST] Livestreamer Twitch GUI

I can look into adding a livestreamer-twitch-gui-git package as well, but I want to make some changes to the stable package before I start on that.
