[Package Request] Beets music organizer

[gborri]

Name: beets Description: The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and for all. It catalogs your collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes using the MusicBrainz database. Then it provides a bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.

For such a command line tool, installable with "pip", I would focus on packaging "pip" on Synology, based on official Python 3 package... then "pip install beets" should work. What is your opinion about this proposal ?

You may proceed by yourself according to https://primalcortex.wordpress.com/2016/01/25/synology-installing-python-pip-package-installer/ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py; python get-pip.py; pip install beets

Either with python2 or python3. I recommend to use a non-root user account. What do you think about it ?

[cytec]

well... pip actually comes with both python packages from Synocommunity and is located in /usr/local/python/bin/pip or /usr/local/python3/bin/pip but you'll have to reinstall it everytime you update the python or python3 SPK...

you could also use a virtualenv see: https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/issues/2551#issuecomment-268214637

[Dr-Bean]

If beets is not a service that needs to run (doesn't look like it, correct me if I'm wrong?), then a manual install via pip inside a virtualenv may very well be an acceptable route instead of packaging. Without the virtualenv, as @cytec said, you'll have to reinstall each time the Python package is updated, so I wouldn't recommend that. Also, you wouldn't need a separate useraccount either, just run it with whatever user has write access to the files you want, so beets can rename/set tags/etc.

[ymartin59]

Agree. I propose to create a package that automates virtualenv creation and deletion (update should be considered as delete+create), the same way than "flexget" package does.

[Dr-Bean]

Sure, that's how all the Python-based packages work, so sounds good @ymartin59. Planning to create a PR for it?

[ymartin59]

@Dr-Bean Yes I will create a PR as soon as I am over with flexget upgrade

[ymartin59]

@gborri Are you interested in some "must-have" plugins for a typically usage of beets on Synology which make sense to embed by default in package ?

[gborri]

The standard one is fine.

Thanks

[ymartin59]

@gborri May you please confirm this package satisfies your request. https://synocommunity.com/package/beets. Thank you in advance for feedbacks

[gborri]

@ymartin59 seems to be fine. The only question is: where is the default location for config file? Thanks a lot

[ymartin59]

@gborri Configuration file location can be specified on command line with --config. See /usr/local/beets/env/bin/beet -h for details.

To see details, I propose to run /usr/local/beets/env/bin/beet --verbose version

@ymartin59: Thanks a lot! is there any way to update to update to the latest version of beets without repackaging? or should we wait for repackaging?

[ymartin59]

@LazaRocks I will update and add Chromaprint/Acoustid plugin support
