Roger opened this issue 6 years ago · comments

I don't have a lot of time this days to work with this project, so I'm looking for people who wants to mantain it, currently is working as I want but could have some improvements, like finishing #25 or releasing new versions(the last one it's from 2014), also packaging on archlinux should have some improvements.

If anyone it's interested, please let me know.

Orestis Floros · Answer 1 · Tue Feb 13 2018 19:15:09 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I can help with the archlinux package, what improvements would you like?

Viacheslav Chimishuk · Answer 2 · Tue Feb 13 2018 19:30:47 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@orestisf1993, actually I'm working on that. We want to add support for recently added man page.

roger · Answer 3 · Tue Feb 13 2018 19:36:32 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Would be cool to make the PKGBUILD follows the arch packaging standards, iirc we have to add numpy as an optdep and if we fix the releases, we can also add an stable package(not git one)

Viacheslav Chimishuk · Answer 4 · Tue Feb 13 2018 19:43:01 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

if we fix the releases

@Roger, what do you mean here under the "fix"?

roger · Answer 5 · Tue Feb 13 2018 19:48:06 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I only mean, have a new release, the last one is from 2014

Viacheslav Chimishuk · Answer 6 · Wed Feb 14 2018 02:49:53 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I've updated PKGBUILD. Changes: added some dependencies, use recommended package version, package man page.

Tiago Rinaldi · Answer 7 · Sun Nov 17 2019 07:23:05 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Sent a PR #54

roger · Answer 8 · Mon Jan 13 2020 06:42:34 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@vchimishuk just released new version "1.0.0" can you check the aur package and maybe is time to release a non git version, downloaded from pypi

Viacheslav Chimishuk · Answer 9 · Fri Jan 24 2020 05:39:13 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Thanks, @Roger. Will do it soon.

Viacheslav Chimishuk · Answer 10 · Fri Jan 31 2020 03:09:13 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@Roger, I have a problem to make the latest version works. I have the same issue for Python 2 & 3. Looks like there is some issue in setup.py. Could you help me with that, please?

roger · Answer 11 · Fri Jan 31 2020 06:28:24 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@vchimishuk this depends on python-gobject, I think we need to add that as a dependency in the PKGBUILD, btw, python2 is not supported anymore in latest version

Viacheslav Chimishuk · Answer 12 · Fri Jan 31 2020 18:09:57 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@Roger, the thing is it is installed and present in PKGBUILD. Also, I've tried to experiment with gi instead of gobject in setup.py, as was suggested under some similar issues in Internet -- it doesn't work either.

Replace git describe --long | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g' for git describe --abbrev=0 --tags and it should work. I tested and it seems fine. Somehow the first command is point to the older version.

My PKGBUILD, just in case:

Viacheslav Chimishuk · Answer 14 · Sun Feb 02 2020 03:48:13 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@trinaldi, strange things here. Your PKGBUILD causes the same exception at the end. I've checked the actual files installed with the package and it is the latest version from Github repo.

Tiago Rinaldi · Answer 15 · Sun Feb 02 2020 03:52:40 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

That's weird, I manage to install it with no issues. There's something else missing, then.

Viacheslav Chimishuk · Answer 16 · Sun Feb 02 2020 03:56:40 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I'm not familiar with easy install and stuff, but it looks like problem somewhere on that level. I can import the package when running python shell.

And this doesn't work.

Can you post the output from pacman -Qs python(2?)-gobject ?

Could you send me the escrotum-git package built by you, please? I want to compare its contents with one built on my machine. You can use my email to send it: vchimishuk living on yandex.ru domain.

Tiago Rinaldi · Answer 20 · Sun Feb 02 2020 05:05:52 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

My output is:

~/bin/escrotum (master ✔) ᐅ pacman -Qs python(2?)-gobject

I'll send the .tar.xz file, sure.

EDIT: Make sure you also have python-gobject installed. I tried removing it in able to reproduce your error and:

~/bin ᐅ sudo pacman -R python-gobject
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
...
:: removing python-gobject breaks dependency 'python-gobject' required by escrotum-git

It's worth a look :)

Viacheslav Chimishuk · Answer 21 · Sun Feb 02 2020 05:31:00 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Yeah, I have it. Here is the list of all installed python packages on my machine. https://files.vchimishuk.pp.ua/6638c325-d164-4708-bfd9-e7eab4718b2c
Maybe you can send me yours and I'll try to compare? Maybe some setuptool related package is missed or something.

P. S.
Our .tar.xz files are almost identical.

Tiago Rinaldi · Answer 22 · Sun Feb 02 2020 05:43:10 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

All my packages, including Python[2]'s, are described in the BUILDINFO file inside the package.

Viacheslav Chimishuk · Answer 23 · Sun Feb 02 2020 06:26:52 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Very strange. I have installed all the python-* packages are present in your list -- same error.

Tiago Rinaldi · Answer 24 · Sun Feb 02 2020 06:30:21 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Indeed. I'm not sure what you can do. Try some Gtk related packages? I'm just brainstorming here... I used GNOME for a long time before i3, maybe some GNOME related package and/or required packages?

Viacheslav Chimishuk · Answer 25 · Sun Feb 02 2020 20:29:24 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I've tried all python3 related packages, still cannot find the issue. Thanks, @trinaldi. Will try to dig it further.

Joris Guyonvarch · Answer 26 · Wed Feb 19 2020 17:43:51 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I wrote this derivation that builds escrotum at version 1.0.1 with nix:
guyonvarch/nixpkgs@dd09550

It requires #56 and #57, that are currently applied as patches in the derivation.

The produced binary works, but it returns some warnings:

(.escrotum-wrapped:426): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:31:36.396: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:68:35: The style property GtkButton:child-displacement-x is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version

It seems that numpy is not available to escrotum, the derivation may be missing something.

Tiago Rinaldi · Answer 27 · Thu Feb 20 2020 04:01:12 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Nice, @guyonvarch .

As I've mentioned, my DE was GNOME and probably some requirements were being met.
A simple search using the warning message can help with it. I've seen some threads but I haven't tried anything.

SammysHP · Answer 28 · Thu Apr 16 2020 18:38:40 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@trinaldi

Replace git describe --long | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g' for git describe --abbrev=0 --tags and it should work. I tested and it seems fine. Somehow the first command is point to the older version.

This is the wrong approach. Tags up to 0.2.1 are annotated tags, but 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 are not, thus they are not considered as a release. The proper fix is to create the next tag with git tag -a to create an annotated tag.

SammysHP · Answer 29 · Thu Apr 16 2020 18:44:31 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Independent of this issue I created a new PKGBUILD from scratch using the latest Arch Python packaging guidelines and some simplifications.

pkgname=escrotum-git
pkgver=0.2.1.r41.e7ed25d
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='Linux screen capture using pygtk, inspired by scrot'

depends=('python' 'python-gobject' 'python-xcffib')
makedepends=('git' 'python-setuptools')
optdepends=('python-numpy: fast image generation'
            'ffmpeg: screen recording')
provides=('escrotum')
source=('git+https://github.com/Roger/escrotum.git')
md5sums=('SKIP')

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/${pkgname%-git}"
  git describe --long | sed 's/\([^-]*-\)g/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/${pkgname%-git}"
  python setup.py build
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir/${pkgname%-git}"
  python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir" --optimize=1 --skip-build
  install -Dm644 "man/escrotum.1" "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1/escrotum.1"

It seems that numpy is not available to escrotum, the derivation may be missing something.

The first three warnings are from your GTK theme.

I don't get the warning about missing numpy with my PKGBUILD.

But I get the last error Unrecognized parameter (quality) passed to PNG saver..
