Arch Linux User Repository

Linux thread on the SVP forum, where some comments may be more appropriate than here unless they relate to the packaging:
https://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3167

Official Wiki page for good measure, which is a bit out of date at this point:
https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:Linux

In case anyone also saw SVPManager closes itself without GUI showing up, and the last line in log (you can find it in ~/.local/share/SVP4/logs/) is [I]: Video: reading OpenCL info

You might want to check if clinfo gives correct output. In my case, the offending package was intel-oneapi-compiler-shared-opencl-cpu, as I am using an AMD CPU. Check Arch WiKi OpenCL to ensure you only have those opencl libraries related to your hardware. Don't forget to kill all existing SVPManager process before another attempt to run it.

The custom licenses needs to be installed into /usr/share/licenses/svp-bin/.

Also, some libraries in /opt/svp/ are unstripped, but this might be intentionally and needed.

According to namcap, the following dependencies are missing:

• python-pycryptodomex
• python-keyring
• python-websockets
• python-mutagen
• python-pycryptodome
• youtube-dl
• python-xattr

Thanks for maintaining!

@phiresky You still need a co-maintainer?

Btw you need to add 'svp' to conflicts and replaces :)

Hey @phiresky

how about putting them on ipfs?

You can just use a public http gateway like this from cloudflare (cloudflare-ipfs.com) as link.

Half a gigabyte of storage if free, on pinata.cloud :)

I'd be happy to do it. If you give me perms.

Here is the new PKGBUILD anyhow

I tried updating my binary-rehosting thing to prevent 404 errors, but I guess I hit the repository limit for GitHub Gists so I can't fix that (for now).

I am down, also from your maintained packages I use qdirstat, so would be up for that too.

vapoursynth deprecated .get_core. Therefore script/generate.js needs a patch to use vs.core and core.num_threads = instead. (or fix version of vapoursynth ^^)

@jsnlouw, where could I find the checksum for that package?

UPD

Ok, I've just generated it myself, if anyone needs modified pkgbuild:

@jsnlouw, thank you for source link
