Bug 345815 – media-sound/pithos - A Pandora Radio (pandora.com) player for the GNOME Desktop

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Matt Carr 2010-11-16 23:25:26 UTC]

Please find attached pithos-9999.ebuild and a patch so that it will set the correct pithos data directory for pithos (/usr/share/pithos).

pithos is A Pandora Radio (pandora.com) player for the GNOME Desktop.  It is a very cool python/gstreamer app.  You can head over to the homepage for pithos at http://kevinmehall.net/p/pithos/ to find more info.

I suggest media-sound/pithos.  Also, this ebuild depends on a couple of other packages not listed on the pithos homepage: media-plugins/gst-plugins-faad, media-plugins/gst-plugins-soup, dev-libs/keybinder, these were added to the ebuild.  Keybinder is required to get the media keys to work if you don't already have gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon already installed, not sure if having both installed causes any errors, I just have keybinder.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Michał.

A couple of updates on the sunrise ebuild.
First, keybinder requires a working X session, so make use of of the virtualx eclass to provide an X session when one isn't available.
Second, depend on gst-plugins-meta[aac,http,mp3] instead of depending on the individual gstreamer plugin packages.

Fixed ebuild

ebuild with proper gst-plugin-* slots.

[Comment 10 Sean Santos 2013-02-23 20:23:05 UTC]

Pithos only works with gstreamer 0.10, but the dependencies don't reflect that, so I'd suggest that the gst dependencies be slotted.

I know this is maintainer-wanted, but I figure there's a chance someone would pick up a quick fix like this.

ebuild with correct gst-plugin-*

This version merges in Nathan Caldwell's changes, except the virtualx stuff. It seemed excessive to have xvfb be a dependency for this (I don't have it enabled on my box).

Switching to git and using gst-plugins-meta made sense to me though.

It's only needed at build time. Really this is a bug in keybinder, it shouldn't segfault if it can't find a working X session. I suspect the reason I see this, is I don't keep environment variables in my root logins.

keybinder segfault build failure

Here is an example of what I get when I don't use the virtualx eclass.

[Comment 14 Patrick McLean 2013-07-10 23:20:59 UTC]

rewritten ebuild added to CVS.
