@cmm11 I added this file /usr/lib/systemd/system/flexget.service with the intention of reducing the running permissions for users who use flexget-webui. Users using the webui can directly run command within the webui. If you have to run these commands from the command line, traditional su cannot do it because the shell of the flexget user is /usr/bin/nologin and login is prohibited.

  • You can run sudo -u flexget flexget -c /var/lib/flexget/config.yml execute --task task_name

  • Or You can use the gosu that I just packaged to implement: sudo gosu <user>:<group> <command>, for example: sudo gosu flexget:flexget flexget -c /var/lib/flexget/config.yml execute --task task_name.

If you are using /usr/lib/systemd/system/flexget.service, you can add a alias in your shell rc file: alias flexget="sudo -u flexget /usr/bin/flexget -c /var/lib/flexget/config.yml or alias flexget="sudo gosu flexget:flexget /usr/bin/flexget -c /var/lib/flexget/config.yml".

After taking over Flexget, I had

  • Added flexget-webui and flexget-webui-v1 in optdepends, you can install and enable webui if you need. When using webui, it is recommended to use /usr/lib/systemd/system/flexget.service I have newly added.
  • Fixed dependency packages.
  • Added /usr/lib/systemd/system/flexget.service to run as a system user, the original methods that run as normal user still exists: /usr/lib/systemd/system/flexget@.service and /usr/lib/systemd/user/flexget.service.
  • Removed check function in PKGBUILD due to the official testing of flexget before release.

If upgrade fail, you should remove old flexget first, and reinstall.

Turns out it's a bug in the package python2-stevedore, https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42063 Once it is fixed, you can safely update to 1.2.189. In any event, python2-argparse should be removed from the depends. There shouldn't be a reason for python2-argparse to exist, besides to support older versions of python, which is of no concern to this package.

argparse is in the standard library, so it shouldn't be needed. It's definitely a bug upstream. I've opened an issue there. For now, the right thing to do is to stick to an older version (e.g. 1.2.181) that's free of this bug.

@NygelLyndley, that seems a problem with the python2-argparse dependency tree. Maybe make a comment there?

NygelLyndley commented on 2014-09-21 23:17 (UTC)

Hmm ok. I installed python2-argparse. Then removed all the python3 related stuff that pulled in : `pacman -R python-argparse python python-setuptools` this left behind to python 2 arguparse And flexget --version (at least) now works.

Hi, the same as rnd, mispelt dependecy + the same errors on executing flexget. The dependency can be fixed manually, the errors can be fixed by installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-argparse/ But this installs python 3. I'm not a python dev, I don't know if this will have repercussions on your Arch install. Or perhaps someone needs to create a python27-argparse package? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&C=0&SeB=nd&K=argparse&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go

@rnd - thanks for that. Fixed the typo. Added python2-argparse as a dependency.

Hello, I had 2 problems with 1.2.198-1. First there seems to be a typo in the PKGBUILD: "python2-guessiti" does not exist, it should be "python2-guessit". After installation flexget failed to run even --version: $ flexget --version Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/flexget", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2867, in <module> working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 432, in _build_master ws.require(__requires__) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 728, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 622, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: argparse Given the final line I tried installed aur/python2-argparse 1.2.1-1 and now it seems to run fine...

rbellamy commented on 2014-09-21 21:21 (UTC)

Added python2-guessit runtime dependency. Bump to 1.2.189.

Also was getting the "You do not have the service_identity module installed..." error. Adding python2-service-identity resolved the problem. Maybe add this as a dependency?
