Changes needed for Arch Linux

I added support for bootstrapping cerbero in Arch Linux.

Since python platform does not support Arch Linux, I am looking for "ARCH" in pplatform.release().

Also the script needs to use the python2 binary, since /usr/bin/python is python3.

The above patch had other things in it, sorry. This is a clean one. Also my github arch-support branch is only arch related.

Except for the python2 change, it can be merged. Can you please split it until we find a proper solution for it?

It doesn't looks good to me as it would break other distros

It probably needs more dependencies, but we can leave it like this for now. A good test would be to bootstrap and package on a chroot with only the base system installed.

The problem is that python2 is python 2.x and python is python 3.x on Arch Linux? We could try to make cerbero work with python 3.x then, would be necessary at some point in the future anyway.

Do you know how much work it would be?
Comment 4 Lubosz Sarnecki 2013-02-18 23:16:23 UTC
I guess you could use 2to3 to make a python 3 version. What is more popular though is making the software work in Python 2 and 3 with the same codebase, like Django 1.5.

Yeah, the same codebase should be made to work with both Python versions

This is my current Arch branch, rebased to master.

Are you still sure about the shebangs? Isn't it state of the art to use python2 shebangs for python2 code?
Comment 7 Lazar Claudiu 2014-06-11 16:30:24 UTC
I'd appreciate if this gets merged, I need it aswell.
