internode-applet (damn python)

fukawi2 · 2010-07-20 11:21:41

Well I'm trying to package internode-applet: http://www.users.on.net/~spohlenz/internode/ and https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=795026

I'm getting this error on makepkg and it's doing my head in. I can't find any reference to ~/.gnome2 in the source tarball, and the --root option doesn't seem to be supported which is just a PITA.

==> Starting package()...

(setup.py:12536): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: Permission denied
Fatal Python error: could not import gnomevfs
    Aborting...

Here's my package so far:

pkgname=internode-applet
pkgver=1.7
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Panel applet for the GNOME 2 desktop environment which allows you to monitor your Internode Personal ADSL Usage"
arch=('any')
license=('GPL')
depends=('python' 'pygtk')
#install="$pkgname.install"
#backup=('etc/nrpe/nrpe.cfg')
url="http://www.users.on.net/~spohlenz/internode/"
source=("http://www.users.on.net/~spohlenz/internode/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")
md5sums=('fb881f7715df8a73faa9c61e93635e6d')

build() {
  msg "Nothing to compile for $pkgname"
}

package() {
  cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
  
  mkdir -p $pkgdir/usr/share/internode/pixmaps
  sed -e 's|/usr/lib/bonobo/servers|lib/bonobo/servers|g' \
      -i setup.py
  
  python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir" --prefix=/usr
  cp * $pkgdir/usr/share/internode
  cp pixmaps/* $pkgdir/usr/share/internode/pixmaps
}

# vim:set ts=2 sw=2 et:

Any help would be great

From the webpage: "you'll need Python, GNOME 2 and the PyGTK"
Your depends mention only two of the three: depends=('python' 'pygtk')

Add "gnome-python" to the depends.

> pacman -Qo /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnomevfs/__init__.py
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnomevfs/__init__.py is owned by gnome-python 2.28.1-1

PyGTK should pull Gnome I believe....

Thanks Allan, I'll try this when I get home

Still no luck -- I added gnome-python, and gnome-vfs as deps (both of which are already installed) and got the same error

The error is because you're running under fakeroot and whatever program being invoked wants to write to /root. If you dare run makepkg as root, it gets past this and bombs with another error about yet another missing import:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 43, in <module>
    from internode.constants import *
  File "/home/noclaf/tmp/src/internode-applet-1.7/internode/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from internode import InternodeMeter
  File "/home/noclaf/tmp/src/internode-applet-1.7/internode/internode.py", line 63, in <module>
    import gnome.applet
ImportError: No module named applet

Ah yes, I forgot package() runs under fakeroot.... I'll try doing it in build() instead.

There's some logic is setup.py that is supposed to handle this (I thought). I'll have a closer look when I get home.

Thanks for helping me get one step closer (I hope!)
