new package - tea

slackhack · 2004-08-11 14:20:21

the tea text editor, i really like this thing:

pkgname=tea
pkgver=2.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="a powerful gtk2 text editor"
url="http://tea.linux.kiev.ua/"

depends=('xorg' 'gtk2' 'glibc' 'aspell')
source=(http://tea.linux.kiev.ua/$pkgname.tar.bz2)
md5sums=(c1065c65ec03d64c072b228fed86e9cd)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

Well, it's good that you mentioned the editor is only for GNU/Linux... after all, we might have used it in our windows distro... or that one we're creating for AIX...

slackhack · 2004-08-11 16:11:21

actually, thanks for pointing that out. the author says it's also for *BSD.

prefix=/usr/local

Did you read arch package building guidelines ? Is it absolutely necessary ? Normally it should be just /usr (you also install it in /usr not /usr/local at the same time).

About dependencies: is adding xorg/xfree/x-server necessary too? Gtk2 depends on pango for example, which depends on xfree already. This whole xorg/xfree/x-server stuff is going to be a little messy...
The same with glibc: tea->gtk2->glib2->glibc (you can check "manually" what depends on what with pacman -Qi packagename).

I can't see any screenshot on the tea editor webpage but having install howto in a form of ogg song is a nice thing :-)

when i left prefix=/usr, it installed to /usr/bin, and calling "tea" gave an error that there was no /usr/local/bin/tea. so i changed it to /usr/local, and it worked.

about the dependcies, i guess i see your point, i was just following earlier recommendations about using namcap and putting in all the dependencies it listed. i can take them out if you want, but technically it's not wrong, is it?

sarah31 · 2004-08-11 20:41:36

technically it is not wrong no but remember namcap is only recommending things it is not absolute law. knowing how package are interdependent can save you alot of time. for example here gtk2 requires x-server therefore to fulfill gtk2 you have to have at least an x-server and the dependencies of x-server may bring in other needed dependencies. so tracing dependencies can make your package dependencies slimmer and more efficient.

another reason it is good to understand the application and its dependencies is because some programs are very modular, such as transcode. with transcode you have maybe foru absolutely required packages and that is all that should be listed as dependencies. Adding depends like xvidcore or image magik is not necessary because those apps are only required if you are wanting to use those features of transcode. I may want them but another person may not want to install xvidcore or image magik.

i am not saying always be minimalist but consider minimalists users. Just put in the most common features and feature you are used to. Time will tell if more needs to be built in or one can just use abs to make their special changes. thats what makes arch so nice ... it can be slim or fat with little effort

Strange. How calling tea gave you the error of tea binary not present in /usr/local/bin ? :-) Anyway, I changed your pkgbuild to this

pkgname=tea
pkgver=2.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Powerful gtk2 text editor"
url="http://tea.linux.kiev.ua/"
depends=('gtk2' 'aspell')
source=(http://tea.linux.kiev.ua/$pkgname.tar.bz2)
md5sums=(c1065c65ec03d64c072b228fed86e9cd)

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

and it works fine except when it segfaults when you try to run manual from a menu (that's probably because the docs directory is not installed).

I think namcap needs some updating too (problems with x-server/xfree/xorg + mesa, makedepends, accusing me I'm a "Bad boy" ;-) siriously - it happens when I try to run namcap -i on my rekall PKGBUILD because namcap thinks I'm trying to run rm -r / in it - of course I'm not trying to do this).

it won't get fixed unless you tell Xentac (jason c.). i haven't used it in a dogs age though as i have no interest in building packages anymore and what one i have built i already know the depends.

Xentac · 2004-08-12 21:31:26

If you have problems with namcap, tell me about them. I'll tell you to go soak your head... though, they may be legitimate issues that I can address.

lanrat · 2004-08-13 00:46:11

I'll tell you to go soak your head...

That's exactly what I expected :-)

But I think x-server/mesa/libgl issues are already being discussed on the mailing list, aren't they?

Sorry I just completly forgot to tell you about the "Bad boy" error. My rekall pkgbuild is here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … ght=rekall.
And this is the output of namcap

namcap -i PKGBUILD 
PKGBUILD (rekall)    W: Missing Maintainer tag
PKGBUILD (rekall)    W: Missing CVS Id tag
PKGBUILD (rekall)    E: Looks like you're trying to rm -r /.  Bad boy!

Maybe it's a problem with regular expressions ?

Xentac · 2004-08-13 04:39:35

Email me about it.

But yeah, that particular one is a stupid rule that I wrote. I'll probably take it out in the next version.

Email me about your strange x-server/mesa/libgl issue with namcap. I don't know if I've heard of that one...

lanrat · 2004-08-13 12:31:27

Acctually everything is here already

namcap -i tea-2.0-1.pkg.tar.gz

tea        I: Depends as namcap sees them: depends=(aspell xorg gtk2)

I understand it's not namcap fault really. It want's xorg because I have xorg installed and gtk2 depends on pango which depends on xfree. Normally namcap shouldn't show xorg (or even x-server) but I understand why it does this. I'm sure with time it will be selfsolved - I mean when all packages that now depend on xfree/xorg will depend on x-server.
I don't know why namcap (again not really namcap's fault I think) often recommends mesa now (usually for kde applications). It started some time ago. And I have nvidia drivers installed with nvidia-installer so namcap can't find a package which owns ligGL files. I'm still researching mesa/libGL issue and when I find something useful I'll mail it to you.

Sorry I'm posting this only here but I think it can be useful for others too.

EDIT:
BTW "W: Library var/abs/local/tea" is probably a "bug" too. I get this warning for every package I'm building. But most people just don't use -i option, I think :-)

EDIT2: I'm sending a more detailed email now...

i totally have no idea, unless it's because i had it installed before as a non-arch package. ? i did make uninstall of that version before installing the makepkg version, though, so i don't really understand it.

> so i just went back and removed it, remade it with prefix=/usr, and now it does work from there. i must have done something dumb before, but i assure you 100 percent it was saying it couldn't find it.

and it works fine except when it segfaults when you try to run manual from a menu (that's probably because the docs directory is not installed).

i didn't know why that was happening, but you can always access the manual from /usr/share/doc/tea/doc/en/index.html (unless you read russian, then it's /ru/index.html ). i just made a bookmark to there from tea and then open it in firefox from the Bro menu.

Hi
just to let u know there a new version of tea, version 3.0, but still doesnt address the problem with the segmentation fault with the manual.
