[SOLVED (finally!)] gaphor and its installation complications...

G_Syme · 2007-09-07 22:16:53

Hello, fellow PKGBUILD-writers (and everyone who wants to join, too ).

As some of you have noticed, the UML drawing tool gaphor in AUR has been pretty outdated for quite some time and quite a few seem to have tried to get the latest version up and running, without much success as it seems.

I've tried it, too. This is the provisional result so far:

pkgname=gaphor
pkgver=0.12.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An easy to use modeling environment for UML design"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://gaphor.sourceforge.net"
license=('GPL')
depends=('gnome-python' 'pycairo' 'pygtk')
makedepends=('setuptools>=0.6c5')
source=(http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/g/gaphor/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('b3d38423def933b2a420257255ac07f9')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  python setup.py install --root=$startdir/pkg --prefix=/usr || return 1
}

The situation: Sometimes, it builds, and sometimes not.
If I remove and then reinstall setuptools, it builds, but does not run, and if I then try to rebuild the package via makepkg (even after removing the src and pkg directories), it doesnt build any more, with the following error:

==> Starting build()...

And as far as the sometimes build but always defect package is concerned:

$ gaphor
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise DistributionNotFound(req)  # XXX put more info here
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: zope.testing>=3.3.0

The gaphor homepage itself states only python, pygtk, pycairo and setuptools as dependencies, mentioning that "Python dependencies will be downloaded when you install Gaphor".
But the the same site also mentions Gaphas (Gaphor's canvas component), but not as a dependency...
Anyhow I've made a package for it and sent it to AUR.
But even installing this package couldn't convince gaphor to think over its obstinate behavior.

The error message above also mentions zope, but installing zope-3.3.1 didn't have any effect at all.

Anybody any ideas how to get gaphor running again?

Thanks in advance!

Try installing zope-interface.

Thanks for the tip, Snowman! But unfortunately it didn't solve the problems. The errors are the same as before...

In the meantime I've tried to find a solution by looking at some other distros:
Unfortunately Gentoo doesn't have an ebuild for gaphor (yet?), but debian has one (really old) version (0.8.1) in unstable and one in experimental (0.10.4, one of the newer versions that also doesn't build here).
Both packages require python 2.4* as a dependency, so maybe gaphor might be incompatible with python 2.5*.

But on the other hand the old version 0.9.1 in AUR runs fine with python 2.5, and I can't imagine why it should suddenly be incompatible with 2.5...
The only other dependency mentioned there in the new version (apart from zope and gaphas) is python-support, but AFAICT it's a debian specific tool for managing multiple versions of python on the same system, so no real option for us...

Good evening,

I've finally succeeded to make a package for gaphor, or to be more precise, make packages for all the new dependencies.
The missing dependencies are all in AUR now, and I've also left a comment for encelo on the gaphor AUR page containing the new PKGBUILD.
But as encelo has marked himself inactive, maybe some TU wants to update the package in the meantime until he/she returns.

And this is how it looks now:

pkgname=gaphor
pkgver=0.12.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An easy to use modeling environment for UML design"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://gaphor.sourceforge.net"
license=('GPL')
depends=('gaphas' 'pycairo' 'python-decorator' 'pygtk' \
         'zope-component' 'zope-deferredimport' 'zope-deprecation' \
         'zope-event' 'zope-interface' 'zope-proxy' 'zope-testing')
makedepends=('setuptools>=0.6c5')
source=(http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/g/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('0ee1d17d4fb75a7113b1e496c3c31372')
sha512sums=('a31073ee237b53b626f17d4e99f4211a1a660659f965569a9639705d084de291254ffb44cfab93d0e19fc43b54c579acf62523430154c5f872d30cf1d1de25fb')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  python setup.py install --root=$startdir/pkg --prefix=/usr || return 1
}

Happy hacking to you all!
