[REQUEST] SideFX Houdini

Hello, I'm currently studying how to create PKGBUILDs, I cloned houdini.git and found out that the package was orphaned (previously maintained by Ashley Whetter).

I managed to create two simple packages (gaffer-bin and foundry-nuke), but this one seems more complicated to update to a current production build.

Maybe someone who also uses Houdini would like to contribute?

Re: [REQUEST] SideFX Houdini

What have you come up with so far?


No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: [REQUEST] SideFX Houdini

Here's my wip, it gives an error with the hqueue package.
I also added the unreal plugin and there's a new package for SideFXLabs that I don't know where to extract it yet.
Seems that the original maintainer left some "todos" in the end.

Re: [REQUEST] SideFX Houdini

SideFX developer here.

Arch is my daily development platform and getting an AUR set up for Houdini is something I'm personally interested in doing. Just need to find the time to look into to it.

Re: [REQUEST] SideFX Houdini

Thank you very much mokchira!

There's no better one at creating this package than an actual SideFX developer, after all I'm just an environment artist.

Just let me know if I can serve some help.

Any update on this? Did you manage to create a working PKGBUILD  @adro / @mokchira?

Well, after @mokchira response I didn't try it anymore. But if doesn't reply soon I'll look into it.

Re: [REQUEST] SideFX Houdini

I have not forgotten about this and I apologize for the wait. I started setting up a PKGBUILD back in the spring but hit a snag when it came to automating the installation - there is this whole eula accepting, api key rigamarole you need to go through and while I was reaching out to a fellow developer for clarification this kind of slipped onto the backburner.

I do want to finish up on this, and hopefully secure some kind of Arch support commitment internally. For full transparency, we are coming close to our next release and I am going to be short on time for the next few months, but I will make it priority to finish this up by the end of the year.
