Arch Linux User Repository

I'm sorry for the mess here. I will try to look into things and also to make a new release of plann one of those days. Unfortunately I'm fully busy now, possibly I'll have time for this in the last week of August. Feel free to nag again at the end of August :-)

@tobixen:

You can now adopt the "plann-git" PKGBUILD, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plann-git says:

I am no longer daily-driving Arch and I am willing to disown this build
if it is causing difficulties.

Some more suggestions to the PKGBUILD's "plann" and "plann-git".

I noticed that the PKGBUILD "plann",

Name                          : plann

• is maintained by the same author of the tool on github
• has not been touched for more than a year
• the repo does have a lot of activity in the last year

I then noticed that there is another PKGBUILD "plann-git" on the AUR,

Name                          : plann-git
Version                       : r356.b04fd62-1

It is maintained by another person ???!!! It would be nice if both PKGBUILD's were maintained by the same set of persons. I left a comment there, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plann-git.

• doesnt match "plann" PKGBUILD on dependencies ????!!!
• there should be a "Conflicts With" tag, to choosing either "plann" or "plann-git"
• "plann-git" itself has a rather bizarre make dependencies on "xandikos" and others.

Anyway, I then tried this "plann-git" PKGBUILD instead of the "plann" PKGBUILD. Strangely, it seemed to install without any errors.

But then I noticed that the official github README does not match "plann --help"

┄┄Synopsis
..........
┄┄┄Global options
.........
• --icalendar: Write or read icalendar to/from stdout/stdin
• --nocaldav: don't connect to a caldav server
• --timezone: any "naive" timestamp should be considered to belong to the given
........ etc ..........

There are lot of options there, that dont show up when you do "plann --help".

   $ plann --icalendar
Usage: plann [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try 'plann --help' for help.

Error: No such option: --icalendar (Possible options: --caldav-url, --calendar-name, --calendar-url)

Confused. Need more time to digest and try again.

Also a final request for the PKGBUILD maintainers.

The project is complex. There is a lot to read. The github repos has a lot of important files the author spent a lot of time explaining things. That should be read and available on the users' computer. Not just "online" html stuff. Markdown offline is fine too.

README.md

CHANGELOG.md

LICENSE.TXT

USER_GUIDE.md
CALENDAR_SERVER_RECOMMENDATIONS.md
DESIGN.md
NEXT_LEVEL.md
TASK_MANAGEMENT.md


examples
docs

License is missing, it shoul end up in something like,

/usr/share/licenses/plann/LICENCE.txt

That "CHANGELOG.md" is super important. Same thing for the README.md, examples, etc

Should end up in,

/usr/share/doc/plann/CHANGELOG.md
/usr/share/doc/plann/README.md
/usr/share/doc/plann/examples/xyz ... foo ... bar etc
/usr/share/doc/plann/GUIDES foo bar
....... etc

Thanks in advance.

This is an interesting an intriguing project. Thank you for the work in chasing the dream of the nice calendar cli/tui tool. Very much needed and appreciated on Linux by console fans. Nice to read all the thoughts you put on the README's.

Currently fails to install on my system. Seems to be going well at the beginning. But then after the many dependecies are installed it fails near the end.

python-caldav gets installed,

It then continues to the final part of installing "plann" itself,

It goes on and on ... and then it seems to fail here, and it aborts,

I cant troubleshoot this. I dont know python.

I also tried,

• https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plann-git
• pipx install plann

and those apparently seem to work.

Thanks in advance.
