I'll be honest, I haven't used this program for years. I think it's easy enough to patch, but I'm not in a position to do much testing. I think I should orphan the package, and leave it for someone else to maintain.

For anyone getting a warning about AtomicParsely not being available despite having it installed, it seems that get_iplayer requires the binary to be cased "AtomicParsely" instead of "atomicparsley" as Arch provides.

I was able to fix this by running the command below (may need to restart/re-source your shell afterwards).

ln -s "$(which atomicparsley)" /usr/local/bin/AtomicParsley

Not sure if there could be a packaging fix here, or if it's something that is better suited to an upstream fix.

Ugh, github archives...

md5 should be bdcdf8c916bab325c5794606962ddcbd now.

Someone keeps moving the goalposts.

odd, i did check the package build when i updated the version - i've now fixed the md5sum, though

OK, after some investigation:

perl-json-pp and perl-libwww are core requirements, used for fetching programmes from the BBC servers, so can't be optional. The same goes for perl-lwp-protocol-https and perl-json-pp (although perl-json-pp is part of perl itself these days anyway).

perl-mojolicious is used to speed up indexing. I can make it optdepends, but you almost certainly want it.

alexmerry commented on 2020-05-24 11:55 (UTC)

My understanding was that perl-mojolicious was used for the indexing, and perl-json-pp is built in to Perl these days, but I'll revisit the requirements and see.

Maybe perl-json-pp, perl-libwww and perl-mojolicious should be optional dependencies, as these are only used for the cgi? Particularly as mojolicious is only available in AUR.
