Arch Linux

Hotot seems to be dead
http://www.hotot.org/this-project-has-been-discontinued/

I'm not interested anymore in maintaining this, so I'm going to disown all related hotot packages.
If no one is going to take care of them, I'm going to delete everything in a couple weeks.

Cheers

Please change the pkgbuild to use shallow cloning - use --depth 1 to avoid downloading the history, which we don't need on build.

Reference: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26723

The following diff makes stuff build fine here again:

http://pastebin.com/EFhSHnWF

I'll see to keep it updated for now...

I have already sent a patch upstream (that is just merged) to make it a lot easier to build 4 (actually 5 now) versions at the same time (as you will), please update the PKGBUILD. (you may want to remove the qt5 version in my pkgbuild....)

http://wklej.org/id/937263

Even better to change repo to git://github.com/lyricat/Hotot.git

and

--package_hotot-gtk2-git() {
-- true && depends=('hotot-data-git' 'pywebkitgtk' 'python-notify'
++ true && depends=('hotot-data-git' 'pywebkitgtk' 'python2-notify'

in order to install hotot-gtk2 properly

Hi. shellex has no more holding the repository. Now, the repo is in another account which username is "lyricat". So please, change "shellex" for"lyricat" in the URL. Thanks.

Should change its dependency as said by others

Maybe it should depend on ``python2-keybinder2'' instead of ``python-keybinder'' as the latter has been removed.

Install failed due to an outdated dependency. Changed python-notify to python2-notify for hotot-gtk2 dependency in the pkgbuild and it installed fine.

I think this package requires python-keybinder.

Install failed, but after installing python-keybinder from aur everything worked out.

Error when installing through yaourt:

loading packages...

warning: cannot resolve "python-keybinder", a dependency of "hotot-gtk2-git"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:

Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N]
error: failed to prepare transaction (unexpected error)

i think this package require qtwebkit

Replace on PKBUILD

_gitroot="https://github.com/shellex/Hotot.git"

by

_gitroot="git://github.com/shellex/Hotot.git"

Reventlov : can you explain what did you do in the post_install directive to solve the error related by chron ?

By the way, I get the same error than chron, so it may be a good idea to precise the fix in the post_install directive. (rebuilding via abs works)

@Reventlov Thanks for reporting, issue (introduced by gcc 4.7) fixed in release 20120406-1

Broken Package.
Error: http://ompldr.org/vZDl6ZQ
(i'm up to date)

python2 and kdebase-runtime are not makedepends but regular depends.

Hi guys, sorry for not updating this before, but i had to figure out what to do with the new build system, looking for the a better solution.
Now this is a split package:
. hotot-data --> data files, common for every frontend
. hotot-qt ----> qt frontend
. hotot-kde ---> kde frontend
. hotot-gtk2 --> python gtk2 frontend
. hotot-gtk3 --> python gtk3 frontend

All frontends depends on hotot-data, and they do not conflicts each others.

Tomorrow I'll upload the standalone packages too {hotot-data,hotot-qt,hotot-kde,hotot-gtk2,hotot-gtk3}{-git,}
and write some patch to the build system for sending upstream, in order to make it fit better with our needs.

Thanks to @wodim and @ianux for reporting, suggesting and soliciting. For any request or correction keep posting here.

Me too; I'm going to mail the maintainer.

I would be glad to adopt it.

Please, orphan this if you're not going to update it.

Hotot now uses cmake for all build type. Here is a PKGBUILD that can build all version (GTK2, GTK3, QT and KDE) using split packages:

http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/438327

Build the one you want with makepkg --pkg <your_build_choice> (look at the pkgname line for available versions)

That PKGBUILD deprecates https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52753 and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52357

Hotot crashes with the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/hotot", line 14, in <module>

I don't know if others are haveing the same problem, but rebuilding librsvg and python-rsvg(its in gnome-python-desktop) from abs fixed it

@toketin You need to rebuild python-keybinder too.

I've rebuild libkeybinder but it still doesn't work, neither kupfer and dockbarx

If you have issues after the libpng update, you should rebuild libkeybinder
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41551

@ianux Thanks again - Package updated to include new tracking code fix, and missing dbus-python dependency tnx @solarnz

tracking code has changed ! please update PKGBUILD:

# remove google analytics tracking code
sed -i '/\/\/ 6. run track code/,+14d' data/js/hotot.js
sed -i '/ga.js/d' data/index.html

This should depend on dbus-python as well.

Please add: python2-distribute

@jorgicio @erikwesselius Hi, seems like VCS switched to git now (github). Dunno if definitive or not, so this could become deprecated.
Meanwhile, a new hotot-git is on AUR, use this one > https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52753
Same for hotot-qt-git > https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52357
Please do not ask for removal of this (hotot-hg) and hotot-qt-hg, while i get not developers confirmation.
When I'll get it, hg and git will be merged in the new VCS (with votes). Cheers

Also cannot install because of this bitbucket username/password request.

I can't install/upgrade it now, bitbucket asks for a username and a password :/

Having some issues with hotot-ng creating multiple invisible taskbar icons in LXDE.

Had to edit xdg-open (just search for firefox and you'll see a list of browsers) and add "chromium" (without the quotes) to get hotot to launch links correctly. Don't forget to use ':' as a delimiter.

@ianux Hi, i didn't notice the tracking code, bad thing. I've included your patch by default. Thanks

For those who want to remove the Google Analytics tracking code, it has changed since r955.
You must replace the sed line provided by reztho with
sed -i '/\/\/ 6. run track code/,+4d' "${pkgdir}/usr/share/hotot/index.html"

Package owned and updated, back to work again.

Sorry, with eveb with the ianux PGKBUILD it doesn't work.

It gives:

==> Determinando ultima revisión de hg...
warning: bitbucket.org certificate with fingerprint 81:2b:08:90:dc:d3:71:ee:e0:7c:b4:75:ce:9b:6c:48:94:56:a1:fe not verified (check hostfingerprints or web.cacerts config setting)
abort: HTTP Error 404: NOT FOUND

==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...

Hotot HG repository has changed to bitbucket so you just have to change this line:
_hgroot="https://bitbucket.org/shellex/${_realname}"
and update pkgver to 933 (as of today)
Working PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/av2UvvM1 (includes reztho suggestions)

Please add the following lines after the python2 setup.py line in the package{} section:
find "${pkgdir}/" -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
chmod 755 "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/hotot"
find "${pkgdir}/" -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

These will fix the permission problems.

And well, for other reasons I had to take a look into the hotot's source code and by my surprise, I found it's using Google Analytics. IMHO every data usage gathering in any program must be optional and the user must be given the option to opt-out of it, so I suggest adding this line too after the permission fixes for removing Google Analytics:
sed -i '\@<script>@,\@</script>@ d' "${pkgdir}/usr/share/hotot/index.html"

yeah, it's work again. thanks

alexwizard , thank you for your fix, i'll check it later and update soon.

689 built fine again.

Yeah, it seems that revision 665 is kind of broken.

i have same problem with jagoterr

I have the following error while building version 680:
***
intltool-update -p -g hotot
xgettext: warning: file `./../data/ui/js/ui.status_box.js' extension `js' is unknown; will try C
xgettext: error while opening "./../data/ui/js/ui.status_box.js" for reading: No such file or directory
ERROR: xgettext failed to generate PO template file. Please consult
error message above if there is any.
error: command 'intltool-update' failed with exit status 1
***

any ideas how to fix?

added "gettext" as build dependency

Still missing "gettext" build dependency (Hotot-hg 641-1)...

show add notification-daemon as dependency. Otherwise, does not work. See http://code.google.com/p/hotot/issues/detail?id=225

The package now needs "gettext" as dependency.

When upgrading from hotot-hg 574-1 to 626-1 (on my Arch x86_64) this prevents from successfully upgrade:

"running build_i18n
intltool-update -p -g hotot
sh: xgettext: command not found
*** GNU xgettext is not found on this system!
*** Without it, intltool-update can not extract strings.
msgfmt po/de_DE.po -o build/mo/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/hotot.mo
unable to execute msgfmt: No such file or directory
error: command 'msgfmt' failed with exit status 1

this started happening after last updates:

I had to create empty socks.py file inside src/hotot/hotot/ to be able to make package.
Someone should write a patch for this.

have changed dependency back to python-keybinder yet , have fun!

+1 for a switch to python-keybinder.

Nice tip! thx :-) It works!

The recompile of "keybinder" after the latest hotot revision package build did the trick here. All happy tweetin' now. tyvm!

Maybe you can change dependance to python-keybinder (split from keybinder).

Everything is working now. Thanks to the maintainer!

please recompile your keybinder if you experience some problems after the update of python.

hotot-hg 463-1 (Wed Oct 20 05:38:37 MDT 2010)
fails at this step when attempting to build:

==> Running setup.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 5, in <module>
from DistUtilsExtra.command import *
ImportError: No module named DistUtilsExtra.command
Aborting...
error: Build failed

My guess would be something to do with the new python 3 build that was pushed the other day. Anyway, still boogered up over here.

changing PYTHONPATH to python2.7 changes the error...


http://pastebin.com/pH0XcHYL

All python errors its because python 3 update. :-(

Latest build as of today from aur fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 5, in <module>
from DistUtilsExtra.command import *
ImportError: No module named DistUtilsExtra.command
Aborting...
error: Build failed

With today's new Python stuff Hotot won't start. Here's what I get:
[topher@sheldon ~]$ hotot
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/hotot", line 13, in <module>
import hotot.hotot
ImportError: No module named hotot.hotot

I have no idea where to look for a fix.

May need more than simply a new dependency. The PKGBUILD script needs some changing at the very least.
http://pastebin.com/YmGykVuu

please update dependencies, now depend on python2

thank you for your suggestions. PKGBUILD have changed the dependency from python-libkeybinder to keybinder.

Please add keybinder as a dependency

Nevermind. I've removed the libkeybinder, python-libkeybinder and installed global keybinder from AUR. Everything is working now. Something is wrong with the two before mentioned packages after the upgrade...

After the last upgrade of libkeybinder I get the following error when trying to run hotot:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/hotot", line 13, in <module>
import hotot.hotot
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/hotot/hotot.py", line 16, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/keybinder/__init__.py", line 26, in <module>
from _keybinder import *
ImportError: libkeybinder.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Any ideas??

Aierk，thank you for your comment，but is there any document showing xdg-utils is needed as depends?

Plz add xdg-utils in depends
