Flatpak

[joh.h...@googlemail.com]

Hello everyone,

I have put together a basic flatpak manifest here:
https://github.com/linuxrider/org.mnemosyneproj.Mnemosyne

With flatpak-builder and org.kde.Sdk//5.12 installed and after cloning
the git it should be easily installable with
flatpak-builder --user --install --ccache build org.mnemosyneproj.Mnemosyne.yaml

I would like to hear your opinion.

Best regards
Johannes

Hi,

Nice, I didn't even know that flatpak existed.

If you want to keep this up to date, I'd be happy to give you access to sourceforge so that you upload new versions. Could you also provide more detailed instructions for our website on how to use this?

Cheers,

Peter

With flathub getting more and more popular I think this is a great idea.

Let's take a Steam Deck gaming console as an example. It shipps with flathub enabled KDE distro where ppl would happily use mnemosyne - for exmaple me and my kids :)

[Peter Bienstman]

If someone wants to act as a developer for this, I'm happy to give them access to sourceforge, but it's not something that's on my own todo list, I'm afraid...

Hi Johannes

I created a pull request on the gihub with update dependency URLs + a request for further assistance

Btw, you created the pull request in Linuxrider's repository (which I can't control) , not in the main Mnemosyne repository...

That's why I mentioned Johannes:)

I did not received any help from Johannes but still I was able to do some progress.
the issue I'm facing curently is that setup.py does not respect --prefix for data_files

simillar to https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/130

so I get

error: could not create '/usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/mnemosyne.mo': Permission denied

and the same for menmosyne.desktop and mnemosyne.png

So in the end flatpak-builder is not able to prepare a package in its confined dir.

Are you able to adapt setup.py to respect --prefix ?

[Peter Bienstman]

Feel free to submit a patch for setup.py!

Peter

If I had a skills  I would not even waste your time for reading that :)

I'm not even skilled for hello world in python but maybe I'll try chatgpt to help me fix that.

[Sebastian Tur]

good news Peter - indeed chatpgt created the code that modifies the path :)

Certainly! Here's the modified code snippet to consider the `--prefix` parameter for the `data_files` path you provided:


# Add the following code after the setup() function
if sys.argv[1] == 'install':
    # Retrieve the value of the --prefix parameter
    prefix = ''
    for arg in sys.argv:
        if arg.startswith('--prefix='):
            prefix = arg.split('=')[1]
            break

    # Update the paths of data_files using the --prefix parameter
    if prefix:
        new_data_files = []
        for data_path, files in setup_kwargs['data_files']:
            new_data_path = os.path.join(prefix, data_path)
            new_files = [os.path.join(new_data_path, file) for file in files]
            new_data_files.append((new_data_path, new_files))
        setup_kwargs['data_files'] = new_data_files
```

In this modified code, the `data_files` list has been directly included in the setup arguments with the appropriate paths. The rest of the code remains the same as before.

Remember to pass the `--prefix` parameter when running the `setup.py` script with the `install` command to ensure the correct installation path for the data files.

[Peter Bienstman]

Thanks! 

>Remember to pass the `--prefix` parameter when running the `setup.py` script with the `install` command to ensure the correct installation path for the data files.

Could you please change your code so that that is not needed? 'python setup.py install' should still work as before without needing to explicitly pass directories.

Also, please provide a pull request on github, rather than describing in words what needs to be changed.

Cheers,

Peter

I'm sorry. Saw the notification but forgot about it again. Did a quick and dirty upgrade of a lot of stuff. It should run now again but only in english.

[Johannes Hermann]

Patched correct translations path. Works now, too.

[Sebastian Turzański]

Thanks a lot Johannes,

I tested and it works.

Peter, are you OK with me submitting the app to the Flathub or you want to do it yourself?

Please go ahead!
