@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.

I updated the package to 2.10.48 and applied your fix for the dependency on guessit. It seems to work, hoping that using this version of guessit will not create too many bugs... but I guess it will still be better than not being able to install it at all :)

Also, if porting to python (python3), then the patch for requirements.txt should be modified to remove dep on pahtlib: https://github.com/Flexget/Flexget/issues/1822 Like: % cat requirements.patch diff -Naur Flexget-2.10.14-old/requirements.txt Flexget-2.10.14/requirements.txt --- Flexget-2.10.14-old/requirements.txt 2017-05-14 19:27:31.385094023 -0600 +++ Flexget-2.10.14/requirements.txt 2017-05-14 19:28:29.416874195 -0600 @@ -11,12 +11,10 @@ jinja2 # There is a bug in requests 2.4.0 where it leaks urllib3 exceptions requests>=2.8.0, <3.0 -#Guessit requires python-dateutil<=2.5.2 python-dateutil>=2.5.3 jsonschema>=2.0 path.py>=8.1.1 -pathlib>=1.0 -guessit<=2.0.4 +guessit>=2.1.2 apscheduler>=3.2.0 terminaltables>=3.1.0 colorclass>=2.2.0

Well, the owner could apply: https://github.com/Flexget/Flexget/pull/1398/files The guys from flexget have accepted and rejected it... People from gentoo indicates compiles and works. There's also a indication of 3 tests failing... I suggest applying the changes so the flexget keeps working on Arch, but also keep track of: https://github.com/Flexget/Flexget/issues/1804 https://github.com/Flexget/Flexget/pull/1398 I seen no reason either not to move to python, rather than keep using python2...

Install fails with: error: target not found: python2-guessit<=2.0.4

@redbaron i just re-read the comment, maybe you can report that to them on their site? open a new issue and report that.

highway commented on 2016-09-01 02:24 (UTC)

@redbaron there is an issue open with guessit in their github. you can comment to show support/urgency if you like. the issue is with dateutil functionality breaking guessit tests that might get removed. https://github.com/guessit-io/guessit/issues/329

redbaron commented on 2016-08-18 06:34 (UTC)

Hello, reinstalled flexget from zero (deleted all dependencies and orphaned python packages), python2-guessit asked for python2-dateutil<2.5.2 which is not available in repository so I installed 2.5.1 from archive and then flexget fully installed. Bu when running "flexget check" it gives error: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'guessit<=2.0.4' distribution was not found and is required by FlexGet but in dependencies from PKGBUILD python2-guessit>=2.0.3 (python2-guessit-git) is required.

BTW, guppy (opt. dep.) no longer compiles, on python3: https://sourceforge.net/p/guppy-pe/bugs/17 Perhaps a patch can be useful, :-) See, it was reported on 2012-01, updated on 2014-05, and since then the bug hadn't been attended. Therefore a patch would be great... Meanwhile I'd guess it can be removed from the opt. deps. if using python3... Tha of course if in the mood to migrate to python3, :-)
