net-misc/turpial ebuild

[Comment 2 Renan Rangel 2012-02-06 16:42:48 UTC]

The ebuild works perfectly for me on amd64.

[Comment 3 Jean-Pierre de la Croix (jdelacroix) 2012-10-03 15:55:00 UTC]

Updated ebuild for newest stable version 1.6.9. Tarball URL has changed. Also, according to the docs, it depends on dev-python/simplejson to work properly.

turpial builds properly on amd64; however, during runtime it complains, "No module named indicate". The problem is that the ebuild for dev-libs/libindicate disables building the python bindings that would build that module. Added dev-libs/libindicate to RDEPENDS regardless.

turpial will work despite the above complaint.

Justin, I was looking into this and bumped into this:

 * ERROR: net-libs/libturpial-1.7.0::sabayon failed (install phase):
 *   Package installs 'tests' package, file collisions likely.

Not sure how to correctly fix that.

you need to remove the tests directory from the installation. Perhaps this commit helps

Hi, I have the same issue as Joost Ruis in comment 6. No idea how to fix it...

[Comment 9 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2015-05-08 07:16:03 UTC]

Add fix to the last-hope overlay.

[Comment 10 stqn 2015-05-08 16:08:11 UTC]

Thanks Justin, installation works now.

However to get Turpial to launch, I had to install dev-python/jinja and reinstall dev-python/PyQt4 with the "webkit" use flag.

Turpial also says the phonon module is missing, but it seems optional.

I have made live ebuilds for Turpial and libturpial, I hope it’s ok to attach them here.

I have removed the webkit-gtk dependency since the Gtk3 UI is commented-out in Turpial’s source code, so Qt4 is always used (unless you use the cmd line UI I guess). See https://github.com/satanas/Turpial/blob/development/turpial/ui/util.py .

New features since 3.0 include a dark theme and better display of retweets and pictures (they are inlined instead of showing as a link).
