Arch Linux

DEPRECATED. Don't use this package anymore, use youtube-upload-git instead.

I remove the out-of-date flag. This package points to the google-code site. For the new project in github, check https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/youtube-upload-git/

Done.

@SanskritFritz. Go ahead, thanks!

Cool. Will you create a youtube-upload-git package? I gladly create one if you don't want to.

New project is here:

https://github.com/tokland/youtube-upload/

I'd wait a bit to get some feedback, since it underwent a heavy refactor. Note that all options regarding playlists are gone.

That doesn't matter, we will know which project is the original one, just provide us with a link from the google project page.

I absolutely forgot about it. The problem is that now it's not possible to create download files in google.code. I guess I'll have to move the source code to github (some people already created the youtube-upload project there, though...)

The changelog
http://youtube-upload.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/CHANGELOG
states a 0.7.4 version, but there is no download. Is it not ready yet?

@SanskritFritz: thanks, uploaded.

PKGBUILD for 0.7.3
https://gist.github.com/9b594738628c862f0489

Please open an issue:

http://code.google.com/p/youtube-upload/issues/list

@tokland: yup

$ pacman -Q | grep python2-pycurl
python2-pycurl 7.19.3.1-2

@jeffuter: Do you have python2-pycurl installed?

Is the progress bar working for anyone else? The docs say it should work as long as python2-progressbar and pycurl are installed, both of which are but when uploading it says:

Install pycurl to upload the video using HTTP\nStart upload using basic gdata API:

Thank you, this way it works perfectly.

This is solved in the repo but it's not yet released, for now make sure you provide a --description:

https://code.google.com/p/youtube-upload/source/detail?r=185

I'm getting a python error when trying to upload:
File "/usr/bin/youtube-upload", line 337, in upload_video
description = to_utf8(options.description).decode("string-escape")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'decode'

Your attitude is very positive and thanks for packaging, keep up the good work!

>Still I think youtube-upload is unlikely to change in such a way that it stops depending on those packages

Absolutely, I am not really worried about this particular package, just discussing in general.

> Dependencies should not be omitted because they're transitively fulfilled.

I think there are two cases: 1) the example shown in the wiki: gtk2 depends on glib2; of course you don't want do add glib2 as dependency, who cares what gtk2 needs to work? 2) With packages particular for a language (the fundamental/accidental thing I mentioned) I think it'ok (at least not *wrong*) to leave the main dependency.

I'll try to ask in the forum, I am pretty novice at packaging, just my programmer's guts talking.

falconindy opinions similarly with his 'cower' package:
"Comment by falconindy 2013-05-13 12:45
And I vehemently disagree with the wiki. Dependencies should not be omitted because they're transitively fulfilled. cower links directly to curl, therefore it depends on curl and the PKGBUILD should reflect that."
Still I think youtube-upload is unlikely to change in such a way that it stops depending on those packages and will *only* depend on python2.

> because python2 is an indirect dependency through python2-gdata and the other

Yes, that's what I thought you were referring to. It's not so clear for me: it's not the same a fundamental dependency (python2) than an accidental one (python2-gdata). If we ever remove python2-gdata and the others we'll have to remember that python2 must stay. Official packages follow that logic (https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/python2-rdflib), some others don't. Anyway, updated without.

@tokland: because python2 is an indirect dependency through python2-gdata and the others. Read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pkgbuild#depends

@speps: Thanks, I made some changes. Can you check it? However I don't understand why is python2 redundant, is it because it also includes other 3 python packages?

@ tokland this is arch independent (any), python2 is redundant, also use package() instead of build(), cheers

Wow, that was fast :) thanks!

dependencies updated.

Oh and python2-pycurl.

python-gdata is now pyhton2-gdata. Please update the dependency.

Thanks. It's ok, I don't mind, I installed the progressbar anyway, it is very useful.

@SanskritFritz: thanks, PKGBUILD updated.

I know that the script makes the dependency optional, but the idea was to allow the script to work in distributions that had problems installing that package, it's not the case with Arch Linux.

python2-progressbar is the correct dependency, and it can be optional.
