Pacpl

Cant seem to find Pacpl on Packman repository anymore.
On Packman’s site, it says not available to public.

Is the app dead?

I know it’s been asked for, but it doesn’t look like it’s coming.

Hi
Give me a bit of time and will build the latest version on packman.

Thanks
Gold Star awarded!

Hi
Not yet…looks like some perl modules to build, have two done and working on the third, I’m sure there will be more…
You can see the progress here;
Project home:malcolmlewis Status Monitor - Packman Build Service

Take your time and enjoy

Awesome thanks !

Hi
OK, it’s built :wink: Should be here soon (in the noarch directory);
Index of /download/home:/malcolmlewis/openSUSE_11.4_Essentials/

If it needs additional perl files, please advise so I can add to the Requires.

I’ll confirm your Genius status when it’s installed :smiley:

A noobs doubt: Can anyone build such packages and upload them on a repository?

Hi
I’ve split out the kde4 components into a subpackage.

Hi
On packman? Not until you have some packaging experience AFAIK, then you could ask… :wink: You can on the Open Build Service, however there are some that cannot be built, see openSUSE:Build Service application blacklist - openSUSE

Have a look here;
Portal:Development/Topics - openSUSE

I used it in Dolphin on a .wav & it did nothing.
If it helps any I ran PACPL from Konsole & got this

Switch will be removed from the Perl core distribution in the next major release. Please install it from CPAN. It is being used at /usr/bin/pacpl, line 22.

I’m using 11.4 KDE 4.6.0 I installed through YAST & installed the KDE plugins

Install package perl-CDDB_get from openSUSE OSS

Perhaps this is missing in the “Requires:”

Hi
So it added the other ones ok, just not perl-CDDB_get?

M
Selecting Pacpl: It adds nothing else

OK, will add them all as requires then :wink:

Thanks

OK
Next question, by default it doesn’t need any codecs to build…only perl modules. Are there some defaults I should add to Requires?

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

I’ll probably already have what I need and I guess the question is: How to please all the people.
I seem to recall when it was originally in Packman it did just about everything :smiley:

Hi
OK, switched to build from Multimedia and can build with the following list;


checking for lame... yes
checking for toolame... no
checking for gogo... no
checking for bladeenc... no
checking for oggenc... yes
checking for oggdec... yes
checking for speexenc... yes
checking for speexdec... yes
checking for flac... yes
checking for mac... no
checking for shorten... yes
checking for sox... yes
checking for faac... yes
checking for faad... yes
checking for ffmpeg... yes
checking for mplayer... yes

checking for mppdec... no
checking for ofr... no
checking for ofs... no
checking for lpac... no
checking for ttaenc... yes
checking for wavpack... yes
checking for wvunpack... yes

It’s hard to know if should hard code requires as some people may not want all that installed?
