[Sugar-devel] inquiring for possibility to make sugar run in parabola (arch linux)

[Erkan Yilmaz]

Hello,

I was asked to post this also here.

1. message below is posted at the moment at Parabola mailing list (1)
2. message follows:


Hello,

seems sugar not possible yet in Parabola, see install tutorial here (1).
But some users from #sugar channel offered help (copy + paste with
permission).
If someone wants to contact them, feel free or forward elsewhere

<Erkan_Yilmaz_> Hi, when I run "./sugar-jhbuild update" I get error:
"Refusing to run as root."  -> I found only pastebin entries for this -
looking at script seem getuid or geteuid make trouble
<Erkan_Yilmaz_> I am on parabola linux (it's basically arch)

<Erkan_Yilmaz_> how could I proceed, besides uncommenting that part of code
:-(
...
<silbe> Erkan_Yilmaz_: by running sugar-jhbuild as user instead of root
<Erkan_Yilmaz_> silbe, thx for replying: I am running as normal user
<silbe> Erkan_Yilmaz_: what does "id" say?

<silbe> Erkan_Yilmaz_: Arch Linux isn't supported by sugar-jhbuild, sorry
(though that isn't the error you're hitting right now - it would complain
after you fix the current issue)
<Erkan_Yilmaz_> silbe, I see, I found so far on arch:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sugar

<silbe> Erkan_Yilmaz_: no idea why that page links to sugar-jhbuild, but it
will definitely refuse to work because there's no config for Arch Linux.
<Erkan_Yilmaz_> thanks for your time silbe
<Erkan_Yilmaz_> let#s see what I come up with
<silbe> Erkan_Yilmaz_: yw. BTW, if someone is willing to maintain the config
file (list of dependencies), I'd be happy to let sugar-jhbuild support Arch
Linux. But it would need to be on a long-term basis - we had Mandriva
support in the past, but as I have neither a Mandriva install nor Mandriva
knowledge myself, it got outdated and had to be removed (because it wouldn't
work anyway).
<alsroot> Erkan_Yilmaz_: btw, if there is arch backend for PackageKit, addin
arch support to sweets will be a work of a couple of minutes..
<silbe> Erkan_Yilmaz_: but unless you're going to hack on Sugar core,
sugar-jhbuild isn't really the right tool for the job anyway...
<Erkan_Yilmaz_> thx alsroot silbe
<Erkan_Yilmaz_> I was trying to get it running
<Erkan_Yilmaz_> "just"
<Erkan_Yilmaz_> but I could forward your guys info?
<silbe> sure, go ahead
<Erkan_Yilmaz_> do I have permission to quote you guys?
<silbe> of course
<Erkan_Yilmaz_> thx, how about you alsroot ?
<alsroot> Erkan_Yilmaz_: sure, if will use sweets (ie, 0install/PackageKit),
just let me know
