Bugzilla Bug 84761

tovid is a suite of utilities designed to make VCD, SVCD, and DVD authoring a
little less painful. tovid can create MPEG output from arbitrary video formats;
other components in the suite can help you identify video files, generate
graphical menus for DVD, and write the XML for authoring (S)VCDs and DVDs.
Video files converted with tovid can subsequently be burned to a CD or DVD,
using software that can create the appropriate file structure for VCD or SVCD
such as k3b or dvdauthor.

Ebuild for media-video/tovid

This is my proposal for an ebuild for tovid. Any suggestions for improvements
are welcome.

I tested the ebuild and it worked fine for me. I would really love to see tovid
in portage.

i'm inclined to wait to include tovid into the tree until they create proper
source releases. it still a preview version and your ebuild is based on the
binaries. i would prefer an ebuild  which build tovid from source. sure, a cvs
snapshot is already possible but since it's still a preview version it doesnt
makes real sense. i'll ask upstream to create proper source releases.

Actually tovid is made up of Bash and Python scripts only. But I agree to at
least wait until the final version 0.18 is finished.

well I agree too... makes sense :)

As this needs to wait for a complete version, closing as LATER. Please reopen
when the final version is out and you have an ebuild for it.

Thanks for your work.

The tovid suite has been updated to 0.18. The GUI has been stripped out as a
separate tarball, so Thomas Loeber's ebuild probably needs some major re-work.

The CLI commands I tested seem to work okay. I have not tried out the GUI.

*** Bug 100638 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Sorry - i searched the bug list for the keyword 'tovid' - nothing have been  
showed up !  
  
Seem to be a bug at bugs.gentoo.org ...  
  
Anyway - tovid(-gui)-0.19 have been made 'autotools' aware. Maybe this makes 
the ebuild layout easier.

ebuild applicaple to tovid-gui-0.19

i think tovid-gui requires tovid as a dependency...

So I'm a bit confused as of the status of tovid being accepted into portage.  I 
am willing to help out in any way to support the tovid ebuilds in portage.  
What needs to be done to move forward with this? 

The tovid-0.22 ebuild shouldn't translate ${P} to ${MY_P} anymore - the files
are now named correctly (tovid-0.22.tar.gz instead of tovid_0.22.tar.gz).

Created an attachment (id=73748) [edit]
tovid-0.22.ebuild

Removed USE flags as everything is now a dependency for the included configure
script.

Created an attachment (id=73749) [edit]
tovid-gui-0.22.ebuild

Added a symlink tovidgui->tovidgui.py as many other ebuilds do.

tovid-0.24 ebuild

updated ebuild for tovid-0.24

* changed DL location to berlios
* added dependency to wxPython-2.6 (because of the included GUI)
* changed homepage location to current one
* the install of a python module (setup.py install) in the program dir does not
work - fail with permission denied, i guess that has something to do with the
install sandbox. I don't know how to fix this. maybe someone can adjust this.
* tovidgui does not start with the message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/tovidgui", line 46, in ?
    provider = wx.SimpleHelpProvider()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SimpleHelpProvider
I don't know Python, so maybe someone can add a comment on that

tovid-0.24.ebuild

just a quick fix to the sandbox violation ;)

installed fine, GUI works here

You shoud add cdrdao and dvd+rw-tools as dependence
Without this ebuilds tovid will not pass configure.sh

Reopening, since torvid seems to have come along way.  Please assign to
maintainer-wanted if media-video doesn't want it.

Can someone add app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools and app-cdr/cdrdao as a dependencies?

Without these two packages, the configure will die with:

configure: WARNING: Cannot find REQUIRED dependency: growisofs
configure: WARNING: Cannot find REQUIRED dependency: cdrdao
configure: error:

OR

configure: WARNING: Cannot find REQUIRED dependency: cdrdao
configure: error:

That said, the tovid tools are extremely useful. I'd like to see it in portage.

tovid-0.26.ebuild

* bump to tovid-0.26
* added cdrdao and dvd-rw-tools DEPENDS
* removed useless python install routine

tovid-0.26.ebuild

Sorry, there was a little error in the SRC_URI. fixed.
And for reasons i don't know i cannot directly edit the attachments in firefox,
so had to create a new one.

I would really like to see tovid in portage sometime--it's been more than a
year, and still nothing. What can I do to help make it happen?

trying to run tovid-0.26 i get the following error:

tovid
Generating dependency list file...
which: no vcdxbuild in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)
  vcdxbuild      MISSING: part of vcdimager (www.vcdimager.org)

Missing required dependencies!
Install them and run 'tovid-init -refresh-deps'
Exiting...

eventhough i got media-video/vcdimager-0.7.23 installed?

A search in the gentoo forums for "vcdxbuild" will lead you to this thread:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-311374-highlight-vcdxbuild.html .

You need to add the use flag xml2 to vcdimager by this command:

echo "media-video/vcdimager xml2" >> /etc/portage/package.use

Then vcdxbuild should be there. I had the same problem and it fixed it.

tovid-0.27.ebuild

Got a 404 with berlios, change to:

SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/tovid/${P}.tar.gz"

Also, DEPEND could be split up.  The only build time deps are probably just
wxpython, and the rest would be run-time deps.

Plus, use 'built_with_use' for mplayer to see if 'encode' was used instead of
using `which mencoder`

Sorry for double post i've made befor.
And somehow i've posted incorrect patch file, so now corrected.

Tested & found working. Thanks for the ebuild, it saved me some work ;)

The tools is /very/ helpful for creating DVDs without knowledge of each single
tool. 

So please add it to the official portage tree or, if noone feels responsible,
reassign this bug as already said in comment #20 (from Grant Goodyear).

If you guys are willing to take care of the package, I can put it in the tree
for you and maintain it by proxy.

Let me know if that works for you.

Well if nobody steps up: i would maintain the package if this offer is still
valid...

tovid-0.28.ebuild

Ebuild for tovid version 0.28, in general it's the same ebuild as the current
tovid-0.27.ebuild, but i added einfo's for todisc and todiscgui

0.28 committed to CVS.  Thanks, all. :)
