Aldrin project now using Mercurial

[paniq]

The Aldrin project is now hosted in a Mercurial repository. I converted the last 480 revisions from the Subversion repository.

You are advised to delete your svn working copy of aldrin and clone the new repository.

do this only once:

Code: Select all

hg clone http://bitbucket.org/paniq/aldrin
cd aldrin


you now have a clone of the entire repository (in the .hg subfolder), plus a most recent working copy.

to update your working copy to a previous revision (e.g. the currently last working one), enter, e.g.:

Code: Select all

hg up -r 468


hg up works without accessing the server. to restore your working copy back to the tip, enter

Code: Select all

hg up


to update your cloned repository revisions, enter

Code: Select all

hg pull


this updates only your repos clone, not your working copy. you also need to hg up to update your sources to the most recent version.

You switched because of the name?

[paniq]

The name was a factor, indeed

But apart from that, mostly because it allows commits and rollbacks without being connected to the internet, because its written in python, it has a tortoise env for windows, and gtk dialogs and nautilus scripts for linux.

How to update my Aldrin install ?

I first used

Code: Select all

hg clone http://bitbucket.org/paniq/aldrin/

to download the code, then built and installed with

Code: Select all

scons
sudo scons install

Now I update my repository clone with

Code: Select all

hg pull

and try to build and install

Code: Select all

scons
sudo scons install

The output of

Code: Select all

sudo scons install

is

Code: Select all

scons: `install' is up to date.

What should I do to make scons understand the install has to be done again ? That would avoid deleting the aldrin repository and clone it again, which I am doing now.

Thanks !

After hg pull you need hg update as well, hope that helps!

That was it, thanks !

I installed everything successfully from source (aldrin and libzzub) with no errors on xubuntu 8.10 but kept getting this error when run from cli: RtApiOss::getDeviceInfo: no devices found!

So I tried installing from mercurial, and then I get this error:
File "/usr/local/share/aldrin/components/driver.py", line 100, in __init__
self.init()
File "/usr/local/share/aldrin/components/driver.py", line 133, in init
self.driver = zzub.Audiodriver.create(player)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Audiodriver'


I have both jackd and alsa installed, so I don't know why it wouldn't find an audio driver.

This error pops up: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/aldrin/com.py", line 158, in get
obj = class_(*args,**kwargs)
File "/usr/local/share/aldrin/components/player.py", line 137, in __init__
Player.__init__(self, Player.create())
AttributeError: type object 'Player' has no attribute 'create'

and a second error pops up after I click ok:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/aldrin/com.py", line 158, in get
obj = class_(*args,**kwargs)
File "/usr/local/share/aldrin/components/driver.py", line 100, in __init__
self.init()
File "/usr/local/share/aldrin/components/driver.py", line 133, in init
self.driver = zzub.Audiodriver.create(player)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Audiodriver'

and then several other plugin component error messages pop up about how it couldn't make midi or something like that. Jack Control is humming away!

Hi skralljt

thanks for the report!

Not sure what the problem is, but can you confirm that you've built and installed pyzzub too? It comes as part of the libzzub (now known as Armstrong) source, but it has to be installed with a separate step.

Just in case, here's some instructions:

edited. had the same problem as the previous user. now got aldrin to work. had to delete the usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/aldrin folder and the usr/local/share/aldrin folder, rebuild and reinstall.
