@dreieck I have updated the package to not bundle ffmpeg anymore following this upstream issue. Vdhcoapp can only use the local ffmpeg because its path is hardcoded. The package uses symlinks for now and I am waiting for Vdhcoapp to properly support using the system's ffmpeg.

I also added the provides and conflicts variables.

Thanks for your suggestions

@Paragoumba It still appears that version 2.0.9-1 doesn't have my fix for pamac users yet.

Let me know if you need another rebase.

@korimitsu: The following error indicates that my latest fixes for pamac users were not yet applied to the released package:

sudo: unknown user /usr/bin/vdhcoapp

To fix this manually, run the following as your desktop user:

/opt/vdhcoapp/vdhcoapp install --user

@Paragoumba : I have rebased the previous fix for this user post-install hook issue with pamac:

After rebasing that bugfix branch on top of latest master branch, I force pushed it back up to my GitLab fork. As such, if you had previously checked out the fix-pamac-user-hook branch, the history has diverged since the last snapshot (2023-10-12). In that case, just delete the local branch before checking out the new version of this branch. (e.g.: git branch -D fix-pamac-user-hook)

Until ArchLinux allows for Merge-Requests officially on their GitLab, the manual instructions otherwise remain the same:

# If remote not already added
git remote add trinitronx https://gitlab.archlinux.org/trinitronx/vdhcoapp-bin.git

git fetch trinitronx fix-pamac-user-hook
git checkout -b fix-pamac-user-hook trinitronx/fix-pamac-user-hook
git checkout master
git merge fix-pamac-user-hook

Until maintainer fix the pkgrel, you should clean the cache before installing the package yay -Scc

raffaem commented on 2023-10-17 18:23 (UTC)

@Paragoumba I believe you should increment the pkgrel variable in PKGBUILD to force an update

raffaem commented on 2023-10-17 18:19 (UTC)

It still fails to pass the validity check for me

I updated the sum, the issue should be fixed

Thank you @trinitronx for looking into these issues, I have merged your commits!

@Paragoumba: Happy this helped to get things into a better working state. I just noticed and fixed one other small issue due to an oversight on my part for users who run pacman frontends such as pamac.

A few users of Manjaro reported that the post-install hook didn't seem to run for them when using pamac. It turns out that SUDO_USER is not set in this case because pamac uses PolicyKit via pkttyagent to authenticate & escalate privileges. Symptoms of this can be seen in /var/log/pacman.log and looks like:

[2023-10-12T13:06:11-0600] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] sudo: unknown user /usr/bin/vdhcoapp
[2023-10-12T13:06:11-0600] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] sudo: error initializing audit plugin sudoers_audit

Unfortunately in this case, there is no equivalent polkit environment variable for determining the user installing the package. (If anyone knows more, let me know if I'm missing some hidden method for finding this in a libalpm hook. env did not print any useful variables in the hook's runtime environment when I tested it.)

So, in this case, perhaps the sane default would be to fallback on uid 1000 given that most people using vdhcoapp-bin are going to be single-user desktop users rather than one of many multi-user seats.

I pushed a bugfix branch up here: trinitronx/vdhcoapp-bin#3 Feel free to review the changes
