feedparser.py is included in the source distribution of SABnzbd (since 0.5.0).
Not much use in adding the Python module.

I see. Thank you. I've removed the dependency. Packages again updated.

Hi

Thanks for putting up this rpm for CentOS, however, I'm having some problems installing this package.

I've tried to install the  SABnzbd-release-1-1.noarch.rpm file and get the following error:
I then tried extracting the files in that rpm and installed the  key and creating the .repo file manually manually and the yum update gives the following error:
Downloading the rpm and trying to install that manually gives the following error:
I'm not an expert with problems like this so it could be something stupid that I'm doing so any pointer to what's wrong would be great.

Hi,
I should have tried to install after signing the RPMs. Sorry about that.
I don't know how to solve that properly and I don't have time to find out now. In the mean time, I've removed the signature from the RHEL packages: http://hansvon.homelinux.org/SABnzbd/RHEL-CentOS/
For Fedora 11-13, the signature is working fine.

Thanks for updating that, a download and install via rpm works fine but I do still have the problem with the repo:
Thanks again for producing this package. 

Mmmh, I had checked with my CentOS 5.4 virtual machine and it had worked.
Anyway, please try again. It should be fixed.

Just tried it again, it's working fine now.

I just installed this on Fedora 11 and it worked, with 2 minor changes:

The command 'daemon' is not avainable on Fedora 11

/etc/init.d/SABnzbd wrote:     daemonize -u $sabuser $nicecmd $exec -d -f $config

daemonize requires its command to have an absolute path

/etc/sysconfig/SABnzbd wrote: nicecmd="/bin/nice -n 19 ionice -c3"

It sure beats 'screen -S sabnzbd python /opt/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py'

I've just tried on a Fedora 11 virtual machine and the init script is working just fine. "daemon" is not a command (/usr/bin,/bin,... thing) but a function defined in /etc/init.d/functions. This file is provided by the initscripts package. It's not possible to not to have this package.
I don't understand what's wrong with your setup !?

Packages updated to version 0.5.3. Tell me if I managed to screw up something

Fedora Core 13 here.
Installed from the LiveCD.
Added your repository to my system.
Tried "yum install SABnzbd" and it complains that I am missing "unrar".
Maybe add it as a dependency would avoid this?
Thanks for giving us these RPMs .
Cheers

EDIT: just noticed that unrar is not free and that may be why you didn't add it as a dependency, am I right?
If that's the case, Is there anyway we could use 7zip instead of unrar?

EDIT2: after adding unrar to my FC13, your SAB+ rpms installed perfectly and it is working ok.
Just feel that we could (should?) keep SAB+ as FOSS as possible and try to use 7zip instead of unrar.
What do you (and the core DEVs) think about it?

EDIT3: the more I read, the more I get confused. Am I right assuming that 0.5.x already uses 7zip instead of unrar/unzip?
If so, I don't get it why FC13 asks me for unrar when installing your RPMs.
Maybe my system is misbehaving?
Could you shed some light on the subject?
Thanks

There's no 7zip support.
Not for the format, nor for the tool.

Hi Shypike.
I wasn't implying that SAB+ should support the format.
But isn't it worth checking 7z (the tool)?
It could actually do the same as unzip and unrar (more than what these two combined can).
But of course, being a dev you obviously know what's best for SAB+ .
Cheers

unrar is a dependency of my SABnzbd rpm because 99.9% of the stuff available on usenet is compressed with rar. The first post explains that unrar is not available in the fedora repos and that you have to install it from somewhere else. The free 7zip tool (p7zip) can't decompress rar files on linux as far as I can tell. I'm not sure to understand what you want.

That had already been easy to understand.

Sorry man, I missed that line in your 1st post.

Are you sure?
I'll search/ask in Igor's forums.
Thanks man, it's working great in FC13 .

EDIT: You're right, p7zip does not uncompress all rar files.
And even if it did, it's license portion is not GPL/LGPL  .
But nevermind, it's working great with unrar .
Cheers
