losslesscut-bin: init at 3.33.1 #108512

ShamrockLee · 2021-01-05T20:19:28Z

Add binary package for

Linux (AppImage)
Mac (dmg, x86_64 version)
Windows (zip)

Motivation for this change

If applied, LosslessCut -- a convenient video editor -- will be available in nixpkgs for Linux, Mac and Windows users.

Things done

Mindavi

Haven't looked too closely to the package definition, but building and running on Linux NixOS works. Cutting out a simple video also works.

I wonder; is there a reason as to not build the electron app from source?

Thanks for review and reply.

I wonder; is there a reason as to not build the electron app from source?

It would be wonderful to build from source, and that's what I have tried at first (#91683).

Firstly, I personally have never succeeded in the source-build of any electron project.
They requires development dependencies to work, which means an electron node package will be downloaded and installed by the package manager. The problem is that it always want to download something at build phase as part of the "installation" of the electron package.

Secondly, the author of LosslessCut decided to bundle statically-build ffmpeg and ffprobe libreary instead of relying on the one provided by the package manager ar the environment, and the bundle will be downloaded during installation. We need to hack on the code to make it use the one downloaded by fetchurl or the one linked from the nixpkgs derivation.

It would be great to get some advice on how to build them.

Mindavi · 2021-01-12T16:58:15Z

I understand. I've never built an electron package before, so I can't really give any guidance on that.

IMO this can be merged (I don't have commit rights).

Some MacOS / Windows (not sure if anyone's still on that) testing would be nice.

ShamrockLee · 2021-01-13T19:46:51Z

Just performed some modifications:

Use lib instead of stdenv.lib to fit Deprecate use of stdenv.lib across Nixpkgs #108938.
Bug fix on the source URL for Mac dmg pack. I had forgotten to change the owner name when copy-paste the expression from another work of mine.

Rebase onto recent Nixpkgs master and upgrade to 3.33.1

SuperSandro2000 · 2021-03-26T17:03:55Z

No idea if this is a bit overengineered.

veprbl · 2021-03-26T21:12:04Z

No idea if this is a bit overengineered.

I think it could use some refactoring, but I would not say it's terribly complicated.

I would suggest to just merge this, but taking pkgs as attribute is not very acceptable.

Also, why do you call the package "lossless-cut" if its "losslesscut"

veprbl · 2021-03-26T21:20:46Z

e.g. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/losslesscut-bin/

ShamrockLee · 2021-03-30T06:48:59Z

Also, why do you call the package "lossless-cut" if its "losslesscut"

It's just because the source repo is named "lossless-cut", and the manual suggests that the attribute be identical to the project name. (or do I misunderstand something?)

losslesscut sounds better, and is also the name of the command to get it start.

Add binary package for * Linux (AppImage) * Mac (dmg, x86_64 version) * Windows (zip) Use lib.meta as per NixOS#108938

ShamrockLee · 2021-03-30T17:40:30Z

Apply the suggestions and rename

Mindavi · 2021-03-30T19:14:17Z

I'd suggest merging this, most or all comments are addressed and it's been open for a long time now. Subsequent updates can incorporate any minor improvements that are needed.

ryneeverett · 2021-04-05T04:44:26Z

Seems like calling the per-platform files in a let-expression makes them impossible to override (AFAIK).

ShamrockLee · 2021-04-09T10:03:52Z

Seems like calling the per-platform files in a let-expression makes them impossible to override (AFAIK).

@ryneeverett Would it be better for the three of them be visible in all-packages.nix or should I put them in the passthru?

ryneeverett · 2021-04-09T17:05:32Z

@ShamrockLee I'm not the person to ask but I would think passthru would be acceptable.
