Failure in check() indicates that the setup script has been changed. Please flag the package out of date if this happens.

The packaged application now requires you to choose a CEWE partner when first run. The partner can be changed later in the "Service" section of the settings.

If the application reports a new version, you can OK the update and it will make and install an updated Arch package. (You will need your sudo password.)

This version works great for me, while the DM-Fotowelt package didn't install. Thanks for your work :)

Had a slow evening, so now there are more products and more explicit instructions. The EULA window also has a slightly less ugly title, but without English words. Coming soon: validation without md5sum (maybe).

A few more ideas:

  • maybe add possible values for _productVariant so that it's very easy even for unexperienced user to modify the PKGBUILD
# may be any of these: Czechia | France | Fnac | Fotobuch | Germany | Poland | Slovakia | UK
_productVariant=Germany

Thank you, looks great. How about adding -title "EULA notice" to xterm though?

DonJaime commented on 2021-08-05 15:21 (UTC)

I think I found a reasonable compromise for the EULA...

jose1711 commented on 2021-08-02 11:21 (UTC)

I don't really know if there's a legal requirement to display the EULA during installation process but since the user is supposed to agree with it then I think it may be justified. Currently only German and English text is shown, maybe this can be just replaced with cat EULA.txt. I know it's boring but this is something what many proprietary software installers do (usually there's even more text fed to more or less).

DonJaime commented on 2021-08-02 09:47 (UTC)

You mean show the whole EULA (boring/pointless) or just refer to its location in the right language (too many I don't speak)? It could make sense to show the first few paragraphs (up to the bit about agreeing to the EULA if you use the software) and mention where the rest is. Unfortunately, the format isn't consistent. Showing up to the end of the paragraph with TOO MANY CAPITALS works most of the time but not for Polish, for example.

@DonJaime thank you, it worked nicely in my test. Could you please also adjust .install script so that it always show localised version of EULA?

Thank-you for that suggestion. The PKGBUILD is now easily adaptable to other CEWE application variants. (Although CEWE Fotoświat is spelt wrong.)

jose1711 commented on 2021-07-26 14:06 (UTC)

here's a suggestion for PKGBUILD supporting multiple languages (user is supposed to edit the PKGBUILD prior to running makepkg and uncomment the preferred language): https://gist.github.com/jose1711/8a32194a79d51f5874e22da2bc84a9fb

It can be enhanced in different directions but for a few languages I've added it does seem to do the job.
