Add zeitgeist-0.9.14

[Wayne Blaszczyk]

Totem has zeitgeist as a optional dependency and not libzeitgeist.

​https://launchpad.net/zeitgeist/0.9/0.9.14/+download/zeitgeist-0.9.14.tar.xz

As a side note, Gnome developers have zeitgeist as a recommended dependency for Totem.

Gedit also has zeitgeist as an optional dependency.

I will try.

As always, would much appreciate help, specially with dependencies. How so you install it, Wayne?

[Wayne Blaszczyk]

My Build:

sed -i 's/python -/$PYTHON -/' configure configure.ac
export PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2
autoreconf -fi
configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
make check (commented out due to failures) 
make install

Deps:

dbus</required>
dbus-python</required>
glib</required>
json-glib</required>
pkgconfig</required>
pygobject-2</optional>
raptor</required>
rdflib</required>
sqlite</required>
gobject-introspection</optional>
gtk+</optional>
telepathy-glib</optional>

Other optionals I've never tried: 
dee
pyxdg
xapian

First two lines regarding python are not required and so is not autoreconf -fi one. That's Archlinux thing since they are insane enough to provide /usr/bin/python as symlink to python3 whereas insane amount of apps expects /usr/bin/python to be python2 and lots of apps that need python3 look for python3 explicitly.

rdflib is python module which you can fetch from here ​https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib

There are no formated tarball names that would suit BLFS, but the one available could be renamed, since it extracts to the correct dir.

Appropriately formatted rdflib tarballs at ​https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/r/rdflib

rdflib would be another new package.

I have been trying to install it without easy_install or pip, but only works for Python2 and do not install anything in /usr/bin. Only libraries in

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rdflib

So, it seems a third new package would be needed.

Also, considering that in my LFS-7.5 totem works fine without zeitgeist, I doubt it would solve my problem in LFS-svn.

I am not very enthusiastic with including three packages in the book even more with the amount of open tickets.

But I will wait for more opinions.

[Pierre Labastie]

I am reluctant to adding new packages while there are still ~20 non updated packages, and the recent changes in LFS and GCC allow to expect quit a few new defects...

Furthermore, I have found on internet that some people were thinking that zeitgeist was "spying" on the user. It may not be very serious (any logging application is recording what you do, anyway). But at least, this should be brought to discussion on the dev list.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Wayne, Armin, I will start a thread in dev, by request of Pierre.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Have combined with Wayne to change for the future.

Quoting Wayne:

1. recommended by the Gnome devs

2. importance should be the same as libzeitgeist

[Armin K]

What's the status of this? If the package isn't needed, then don't add it and don't keep the ticket around.

[Wayne Blaszczyk]

Closing as it is not needed.
