@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.

Thanks dryes, it worked for me and I managed to reinstall flexget successfully.

Although obvious, a quick (and temporary) fix is to run as root: chmod -c 604 /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/feedparser-5.1-py2.7.egg-info/top_level.txt to reset: chmod -c 600 /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/feedparser-5.1-py2.7.egg-info/top_level.txt

python2-feedparser 5.1-1 breaks flexget: (snip) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 1316, in _get stream = open(path, 'rb') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/feedparser-5.1-py2.7.egg-info/top_level.txt' i get the same error when trying to reinstall flexget

Confirmed here as well, python2-jinja is required.

pezz commented on 2011-07-05 00:46 (UTC)

Needs python2-jinja added as a dependency.

the --series command line parameter is broken in 2244 but fixed in 2245. Though the latest is now 2263
