Installation of 0.9.4-0ubuntu1 failed

After removing python2.4, the install proceeded OK, so I'm guessing the empty parens on a class is invalid syntax in python 2.4 (but has been added in 2.5)

Having the same problem.

I tried michael's solution, removed the installed package (apt-get --purge remove memaker), did apt-cache clean, and installed again. Didn't work, but /usr/bin/memaker got installed; running it produces the following output:

ian@leviathan:~$ /usr/bin/memaker
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/memaker", line 20, in <module>
    from libmemaker.motor import *
ImportError: No module named libmemaker.motor

I would've filed a different bug but I'm betting the ultimate cause is this one.

I wouldn't have a clue... but it would be good if we have a packager that had experience and time to be a maintainer. Anyone know a motu who can help?

Confirmed by duplicate bug report.

i just noticed an error in my earlier comment:

/apt-cache/apt-get/

It's a packaging issue. I made a patch for it, but could not get enough attention in the MOTU's irc channel to get someone helping me to properly modify changelog, version number etc.

Anyone please review my patch and help me get it right.

None of us really know how to do this at all...
Let me cc this to pete the original maker of this package. Perhaps he
can help.

@encompass: the patch I sent. works. Simply I don't know how to change properly the changelog, which mantainer assign and so on. So, for what concerns ubuntu, it's just about ubuntu packaging guidelines / sponsorship to commit the patch.

There's a patch on the discussion mailing list which should solve this more completely (the archives are private, so you'll need to be on the mailing list to see the patch): http://lists.memaker.org/private.cgi/discussion-memaker.org/2008-June/000387.html

Wrote my own patch that lets people use older versions of Python (instead of bumping it all to Python2.5 which isnt ideal for everyone). Builds fine and installs perfectly.

Subscribing u-u-s for sponsorship.

@David: I've sent a new package for review to the current mantainer, asking for review. It includes python2.5 patch as well as the new upstream version (featuring e.g. themes).

About python2.5: you're right, I guess we should check upstream's willingness to support python < 2.5. "installation.Instructions" file in the current source defines python2.5 as the minimum requirement.

@David: patch looks good, I'm just testing it, and if all goes well, I'll upload it. Thanks!

nice, uploaded!

@TACOne/MeMaker upstream

Attached is an edited version of the dpatch i added to the Ubuntu package (removed extra dpatch headers etc.). This will fix the problem upstream so we can drop our patch.

Thank you David. Actually, I am waiting for upstream to release tarballs, in order to send the new package to REVU.
Subscribing Encompass ( the upstream ) to this bug, so he can read the discussion and decide whether or not incorporate your patch in the new upstream version.

encompass, did this patch make it into trunk? It'd be nice to be able to drop the patch in our packaging.

should be already fixed

Is the fix likely to be ported back to Hardy Heron ? I have this error with kernel 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 15 15:11:35 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux and memaker 0.9.4-0ubuntu1.

I can try. But I doubt it will be an official release. We are having
trouble having enough man power to package our changes for others. That
and we have a small issue that takes alot of time with the latest ubuntu
releast too.
Regards,
Jason

You best bet is to try the deb for intrepid. It will likely work in
hardy as well. Look for it on launchpad.
