They released version 0.3.1,
http://spectrum.im/projects/spectrum/wiki/Changelog
But it hardcodes installation of spectrum.cfg to /etc so that would need
to be patched, and it removes the sqlite schema, in repository
logs it says
"Remove unused outdated sqlite.sql schema." So for now trying the posted
version, and it builds fine. Didn't get to trying it yet, that will come
soon ;)

With a lot of feedback from viq, updated to 0.3.1.
I added a user _spectrum and group _spectrum so that the
spectrumctl can change userid to that user. The homedirectory of
that user has to exists, otherwise spectrumctl throws errors.
The directories /var/spectrum and /var/log/spectrum are created

>from the port. I decided to put everything below /var/spectrum

besides the logs. Hope that's fine. The example configuration file
was updated accordingly.

Maybe additionally a README.OpenBSD needed?

cheers,

Following patch needs to be applied to PLIST, otherwise you end up with
locale files being mode 640 root:_spectrum

Another thing is, in lib/python2.5/site-packages/spectrum/doc/ there is
interactive.py which after running spectrum gets bytecompiled creating
interactive.pyc which remains after package removal. Solution I saw
employed so far is to compile it at package creation time, so it ends up
in PLIST. Don't ask me how to do it though ;)

The mysql schema should probably be installed, for those who want to use
it, maybe the munin monitoring script? Maybe some -extras package?

There is another *pyc file that was not yet created. I now call
spectrumctl in post-install stage to create those pyc files. No idea
whether this is the right way to do, but it works ;)
I also included the mysql schema, since people might want to use the
mysql backend instead of the sqlite backend.

How about this? Command to compile .py files stolen from
devel/py-gobject by ajacoutot@ ;)

That's great, thanks for finding this.

Also moving sample config file and mysql schema to share/examples
instead of share/doc as I believe that's where they belong.

Yes, after sending the last update, I also thought about that this is the right place for it.

Anyone caring about reviewing this?

cheers,
Sebastian

I only removed a superfluous rm -f in the post-install stage, update attached.
