Arch Linux

After upgrading to the latest version a Python program I've written failed; t appears that the Python support is missing. On the configuration line swig is disabled and it is a prerequisite for Python. So, even though Python is enabled is doesn't get built.

I rebuilt enabling it and everything worked fine.

Thank you iq2luc and mikep. I finally got time to merge your comments and bump the package.

Version 3.1p0 is available.
I'm building it using this patch:

2.9p9 is out.

Also you need to add the package() function to PKGBUILD

I'm using owfs with a USB bus master (using a DS9490R).
Launching owfs (from AUR) with:
sudo owfs -u --allow_other -m /mnt/1-wire (I created the mount point /mnt/1-wire)
does nothing. I removed the aur owfs, downloaded the 2.9p7 source and ran configure as follows:
./configure --enable-owfs --prefix=/usr --with-python="/usr/bin/python2" --with-pythonconfig="/usr/bin/python2-config"
The following warnings were issued:
...
configure:16384: WARNING: Can't find libusb
configure:16389: WARNING: libusb not found, usb will be disabled
...
USB IS DISABLED
...
libusb is installed on my system.

Adopted package, version bumped to latest stable 2.9p7. Now it compiles.

The ed editor seems to be missing from the build dependencies:

From the owfs build log:
[…]
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 owtcl.n ow.n '/tmp/yaourt-tmp-human/aur-owfs/pkg/owfs/usr/share/man/mann'
/bin/sh: line 12: ed: command not found.
(… repeated 344 times …)
/bin/sh: line 17: ed: command not found.
(… repeated 344 times …)
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-human/aur-owfs/src/owfs-2.9p1/src/man'
[…]

After installing ed manually everything went well :)

Upgraded with medvedko package.
Thanks !

Could you please add a systemd service file?

It's probably bad form to comment on my own comment, but I've realised that the python2 probably ought to be in 'makedepends' rather than 'depends', since it would presumably then build the python module in owfs, but not mandate that the machine where it gets installed has python.

Although swig is listed as a requisite so that the language modules are built, python is not listed. This means that on ArchLinuxARM the package builds without the python module, and that's what is in the repository for ALARM.

If the depends= directive has 'python2' added, then the package builds and has both perl and poython modules.

ALARM won't generally deviate from ArchLinux PKGBUILD files (without a very good reason), so can this be added to teh ArchLinux PKGBUILD?
