Arch Linux User Repository

Hello Everyone, I will become the maintainer of the Package, Im am very new to this so any help would be appreciated, I do own an x10 to help test out bugs, otherwise expect an update in the near future

Thanks for the help! I'm still running into issues with the installation. As I'm new to the AUR, please bear with me if I've missed something obvious.

I figured out the reason of test/test_08_service.py error. sfmc requries it installed to run the tests. According to Archwiki, I tried this snippet and it works:

build() {
  cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
  python -m build --wheel --no-isolation
}

check() {
  cd "${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  python -m venv --system-site-packages test-env
  test-env/bin/python -m installer dist/*.whl
  test-env/bin/python -P -m pytest
}

The package() seems to follow the old file structure but upstream has changed some of them. Such as smfc.conf now in config/ not src/, smfc.py doesn't exist. Here is a modified package() for your reference:

  install -o root -g root -Dm644 modules-load.conf "${pkgdir}/etc/smfc/smfc.conf"

  cd "${pkgname}-${pkgver}"

  install -o root -g root -Dm644 LICENSE "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/LICENSE"

  install -o root -g root -Dm755 config/smfc.conf "${pkgdir}/etc/smfc/smfc.conf"
  install -o root -g root -Dm644 config/smfc.service "${pkgdir}/etc/systemd/system/smfc.service"
  install -o root -g root -Dm644 config/smfc "${pkgdir}/etc/default/smfc"
  python -m installer --destdir="$pkgdir" dist/*.whl
  install -Dm644 doc/smfc.1 "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1/smfc.1"

Figured out it's an upstream issue, Ive opened a discussion about removal of the

   'mock_use_standalone_module = true'   

Thanks for catching that @UchimakiTamako, ive added the missing checkdepends and fixed the space in the line you mentioned, ill try to test and see what the test/test_08_service.py error is about

Hi @urirocky thank you for maintaining this package.

I'm facing some problems during package checking.

• python-pyudev and python-mock package missing.
• test/test_08_service.py fails becuase importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for smfc

Also possibly a space missing in line install -o root -g root -Dm644 smfc.service"${pkgdir}/etc/systemd/system/smfc.service"

Update: ipmitool-1.8.19-4 fixes this problem.

In my configuration, smfc-3.4.0-1 seems to be incompatible with ipmitool-1.8.19-3.

Unless I downgrade to ipmitool-1.8.19-2, I get the following error when starting smfc and the fans are not controlled.

@a1678991 Done! Created the pacman-hook-reload-modules AUR package and this package now depends on that.

@a1678991 Ideally this should be handled using an alpm/pacman hook, i'll create another AUR package for that and depend on it!

@ewout Thank you for the update. I have installed the smfc 2.3.1-2 in my environment and confirmed that the kernel module settings have been added and it works fine after reboot.

However, I think the same error may occur if a user installs smfc and then starts the smfc service without ever rebooting. This is because installing the package creates a configuration file, but does nothing itself. Running systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service after installation or just reboot the system will load the modules listed in the /usr/lib/modules-load.d/smfc.conf file. If the user starts/restarts the service after these, smfc will work correctly.

Since most of the problems should have been solved, it is not clear if this should be addressed with a few tricks. For example, create a systemd unit to load the module.

@a1678991 Done. /usr/lib/modules-load.d/smfc.conf is now included.
