Install with --record option fails

[lazka]

Original issue 1373 created by thomas.e.zander on 2014-04-22T10:10:33.000Z:

Please describe the problem thoroughly and accurately. If possible paste
the contents of the ~/.quodlibet Dump or MiniDump file associated with the
problem; otherwise, you must at a minimum report the version of Quod Libet
and the operating system you are using.

- What did you try to do?
Installing quodlibet using the --record option to log the installed files:
./setup.py install --record /tmp/quodlibet-install-log.txt

- What did you expect to happen?
Installation as usual, plus the specified log file in /tmp

- What did happen instead?
Installation stops with an exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./setup.py", line 426, in <module>

Thanks.

setup.py bdist can give you roughly the same thing in the mean time:

./setup.py bdist
cd dist
tar xvzf *.tar.gz
find usr -printf "/%p\n" > /tmp/quodlibet-install-log.txt

Maybe some additional information may be helpful.

I am trying to fix the quodlibet port on FreeBSD, where it is marked broken because creating a package from the package building framework is not possible right now.
This is because a port that announces it uses python distutils for building and installing (instead of Makefiles) MUST install properly with the --report option. That's how the framework is currently implemented.

If you have a pointer for me how to quickly get --report to work (I'm not an expert on distutils, sorry), we can fix it with a temporary patch until you have resolved this upstream.

Thanks and best regards

Attached is a patch against the 3.1 release.

Just saw that FreeBSD ist still on some old 2.x release, attached is the above fix for 2.6.3, which might easier for a first update.

If you need any help: #quodlibet on irc.oftc.net

Thanks for your super-quick taking care of the issue!
First thing I did this morning was creating a patch against 2.6.3 from your patch against 3.1.0 as it greatly helped me to understand what was missing.

We need a 2.x release because our default install of gstreamer is 0.10 as of now, but we will move to 3.x eventually, no worries :)
