Since everything in 0.4 is self-contained already, if you keep the
current files in their own folder, it should work. As a first step, I
would suggest placing what would be the unzipped files in something
like /usr/local/PyKaraoke and creating a launcher for them. I did this
on my FC4 system and it seems to work just fine - at least the software
launches without complaints. Again, this is just unqualified me thinking
of a stop-gap until the other details could be worked out.
Doesn't the "Linux Standard Base" (or whatever the [EMAIL PROTECTED] it's called) provide some standard for where apps go? PyKaraoke and cdgtools are small enough that they can reasonably just live in /usr/bin.
Definitely keep me posted on your progress. Since we have a dependency
on MP3 support in SDL, Fedora Core becomes a little more tricky. The
Livna.org repository seems most appropriate because they include a
package called SDL_Sound that adds MP3 libraries to SDL. They also
already host most of the needed python packages.
I'm actually keen to implement an internal MP3/OGG/WAV player anyway; we need that to be able to do pitch shifting and time munging, and then we get seeking (coding the CDG seeking part will be fun ;).
Since that was the case, I submitted package requests via Livna's
Bugzilla system for both CDG Tools and PyKaraoke today and included the
source files as attachments to the bugs. It seems they feel best
qualified to build their own packages, but forwarding them a source RPM
definitely wouldn't hurt. As soon as I hear back from them, I'll post
here.
Cool! Thanks.
