Hi,

No I'm not in touch with upstream, I'll try to contact developers. Meanwhile, I added a sed line to replace tostring -> tobytes in Texture.py

hi, shouldn't the permission on dir be 755 instead of 775 ?

Hi,
I cannot start it, had to replace tostring by to bytes in /usr/share/fretsonfire/bin/Texture.py:

$ fretsonfire
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.loadImage(Image.open(name))

string = image.tostring('raw', 'RGBA', 0, -1)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 686, in tostring
"Please call tobytes() instead.")

Are you in touch with upstream ?

Updated package with @danilo's PKGBUILD. Thanks!

Updated package with @danilo's PKGBUILD. Thanks!
Someone who has time to maintain this should own this.

This PKGBUILD should work: http://tmp.dbrgn.ch/PKGBUILD-fretsonfire.txt

It uses python2-pillow and patches Texture.py (using sed).

ImportError: No module named Image

@Xals_avantasia:

I would'nt recommend people to install stuff without using a package manager.
Mostly because it's nearly impossible to remove afterwards. (Without knowing where the heck all the files went)
Also, I think PIL and PILlow can't both exist in the same system (except if you put them in a non-standard location, that is)

My recommendation is to build a PIL only for fretsonfire to use, put that in a directory only fof knows about, and include that in this package. That, or, as a quick solution, add python2-imaging to the IgnorePkg in pacman.conf

Hello everyone!
I am commenting in the AUR for the first time!
Sorry if my english is not good or if my "solution" is not useful for some people!
I have a workaround for those people who wants to play to Frets On Fire with PIL-1.1.7 (python2-imaging), but without the advertisement of replacing it to python2-pillow with every system update.

Download this package: http://effbot.org/downloads/Imaging-1.1.7.tar.gz, and extract it.
Open a terminal to the Imaging-1.1.7 directory and do the following:
python2 setup.py install
source /etc/profile (to be sure that libraries and binaries paths are updated)

Download the fretsonfire PKGBUILD, edit it and remove python2-imaging entry from dependencies list and save changes.
Install it with makepkg -si

After that, I executed some 'pacmam -Syyu' and I have not saw any python2-pillow advertisement.

I hope you find it useful and enjoy the game!
