@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.

1.2.73 is here : http://sprunge.us/fDGO It's an update of foobster's PKGBUILD without CRLF.

foobster commented on 2014-01-27 16:31 (UTC)

For 1.2.69: http://pastebin.com/2r1fCzBw An update of TorArneThune's PKGBUILD because the 1.2.61 binary is no longer there. Also, if you installed the outdated package first you need to uninstall these packages before installing with the new PKGBUILD: pacman -R python2-sqlalchemy-0.7.9 flexget python2-dateutil

TorThune commented on 2014-01-23 12:11 (UTC)

For 1.2.61: http://paste2.org/LPLyA7Ut I've changed the python2-dateutil dependency to python2-dateutil1 (available in AUR) as python2-dateutil in the official repository is now version 2.2, a version that flexget not yet supports.

After experimenting with some changes to the PKGBUILD file with no luck, I eventually gave up and tried installing flexget using pip2. This seems to install the latest version correctly. You'll need to install the package python2-pip and then run the command `pip2 install flexget` as root. Make sure to remove any Arch-packaged versions of flexget and any required python packages first.

Eh, looks like 1.1.163 has issues with dateutil 2.2...

cacack commented on 2013-11-25 21:30 (UTC)

Updated PKGBUILD here: https://gist.github.com/cacack/7647788. Bumped version to 1.1.163 and included the dependencies listed in the comments.

new dependency: AUR/python2-tmdb3

cgirard: That doesn't actually explains much, as package is clearly build with wrong dependencies right now... (i.e. my installation just got broken and correctly specified deps would prevent that)

cgirard commented on 2013-10-23 15:23 (UTC)

@kozec: already explained below. Seems to be fixed in latest/next version though: https://github.com/Flexget/Flexget/issues/81
