[Request] Friidump

taseis · 2012-02-08 20:18:36

I would like to request that friidump be added to the CCR. It is currently in the AUR here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28748

Friidump assists us with backing up our Wii games, and seems to be the only Linux app out there for this purpose. At least that I am aware of.

I need to advise you that the AUR package is missing some stuff and the build fails when using Packer. I am just too inexperienced to figure out what it needs.

Thank you,
taseis

Unfortunately, the upstream site mentioned in this PKGBUILD seems to be down, and without a URL for the original friidump-0.4.0.rar file, this package cannot be uploaded to CCR. If you (or someone else here) can upload that file to some website (not some fileshare nonsense site, but a real one), it should be easy to add it to CCR, but until then, I can't think of any way to do so.

In the meantime, however, this package seems to build fine with aur2ccr. If you would like to use it without it being on CCR, you should just be able to run:

ccr -S aur2ccr
aur2ccr friidump
sudo pacman -U friidump/friidump/friidump-0.4.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz 
rm -rf friidump

(Assuming you already have ccr installed.) That should install the program on your computer.

Edit: Wow, this PKGBUILD is really, REALLY bad.

Edit 2: Ok, here is a slightly improved PKGBUILD, if anyone does get the rar file uploaded somewhere useful. Note that it will not work until a valid 'source=' line has been added.

build() {
  unrar x -o+ "${pkgname}-${pkgver}.rar"
  cd "${pkgname}-${pkgver}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  mkdir -p BUILD # This is the procedure specified in the 
  cd BUILD       # Friidump README by its author for 
  cmake ..       # building the program. 
  make
}

package() {
  cd "${pkgname}-${pkgver}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/BUILD/src"
  make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
}

Thanks for getting back to me. I am going to work on uploading the file somewhere or finding it on a good site. I didn't have luck the first time trying it with your first example, but I will give it another shot.

Thanks

I am not having luck with Friidump. It looks like more people are using Wine and Rawdump. I even emailed the person showing in the build, but he probably doesn't have the same email address.

I did find something called Unscrambler that is supposed to do the same thing if you want to take a look. I would really like to test it to see if it is worth adding.

You can find Unscrambler here http://wi01b.net/wp-content/uploads/200 … bler04.zip
I think it is a blog, so it wouldn't work for us either. Can you give me any ideas of what kind of website it or if I ever find Friidump should be on?

Thanks

The official URL link for Friidump given on AUR doesn't work. There is no documentation at all on this, other than the rar file. So I don't know how I can trust a random link and upload this for users to use.
And if that is not enough, the .rar files are considered binaries, and they are not allowed by CCR policy.

A similar situation seems to exist with the Unscrambler package I found on AUR. It's upstream webpage has been seized by USA authorities .

I don't know why those commands didn't work for you, they did here. Try this instead:

aur2ccr friidump
cd friidump/friidump/
makepkg -i

Also:

I even emailed the person showing in the build, but he probably doesn't have the same email address.

From the Friidump README:

... I'm releasing this program under the nickname of "Arep". This is because I am not sure about the legal status of the program, and I do not want to encounter any consequences. ... Although, I think it can be freely used in Europe and other coutries without laws similar to the DMCA. ... For the same reason, I am not putting an e-mail address here (that @no.net you find in the program is obviously a pun), but support will be provided through the forums of the Italian ConsoleTribe forum, at http://wii.console-tribe.com. ...

Good info - Thanks. No wonder I didn't get a response.
For some reason I get an error in the build.

Extracting  friidump-0.4.0/friidump-0.4.0/TODO                        OK 
All OK
/home/xxxxx/friidump/friidump/PKGBUILD: line 30: cmake: command not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
==> ERROR: Some error occurred, check the friidump PKGBUILD in /home/taseis/friidump/friidump
==> ERROR: 1 package(s) failed

I am going to do my best to try to find something that people can use. I am sure there are others that would like to do the same thing. It may take me a while, but I will find something.

Thanks

you need to install the base-devel group first to compile packages locally.

sudo pacman -S base-devel

george · 2012-02-09 16:26:46

Hm, guess I need to add cmake to the list of programs aur2ccr checks for. Sorry about that.

Edit: Fixed. Run 'ccr -Syu' to upgrade.

Yep, I am sure that I didn't install the base-devel yet. That is my bad. I should have known to do that.

I will give it a shot again after work.
Thanks
