[gentoo-user] Can emerge play a sound on either a successful/unsuccessful build?

[gentoo-user] Can emerge play a sound on either a successful/unsuccessful build?

[Andrew Lowe]

Hi all,
	I have a laptop churning away in the loungeroom doing an "emerge -NuD
world" whilst I'm in my office, amongst other things composing this
email. If my world update fails, I won't know until I look at the screen
in the other room. Is there a way to get emerge to play a song depending
upon the status of the emerge build?

	If memory serves, an email can be sent letting you know what's
happening, but a sound would be better. For example, on those days when
you kick off an emerge then start pottering around the house doing
stuff. All of a sudden Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" starts playing,
and you know the emerge has karked it....

	Thoughts greatly appreciated,

		Andrew

You can consider section 6.c in Handbook:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=6.
There you can hook into Portage process and execute some media player after
completing.
Not sure how to check for failed status, but i think, it is possible.

If I understand you correctly this can be done with bash like:

No, you are right. From the OP:

Is there a way to get emerge to play a song depending
upon the status of the emerge build?

I read the in one of two ways:



1. When emerge completes successfully, play something awesome (eg Pink
Floyd). When emerge completes unsuccessfully, play something horrible
(eg Justin Bieber). So maybe:

emerge <...> && play Dark.Side.of.the.Moon.mp3 || play Bieber.Sucks.mp3



2. Play something nice while emerging, and switch to Justin Bieber if
something goes wrong. This one is harder and will require tinkering with
portage internals to read the current status.



Perhaps Andrew will chime in and clarify his needs.

Using portage hooks, either globally in /etc/portage/bashrc or per
package in /etc/portage/package.env. I have this in bashrc to warn me of
failures

register_die_hook ebuild_failed
ebuild_failed {
	do something foreboding
}

I actually have it send an alert to my phone with Posterous but you can
do whatever you want.

I also use package.env to alert me when particularly
time-consuming ebuilds, like LibreOffice and Chromium, have completed
successfully.

If all he needs are chimes, there is no need to contaminate his hard
drive with Justin Bieber MP3s.

	Alan has it right, play something when the emerge succeeds, something
else when it fails. Got plenty of Pink Floyd, but no "what's his face" -
I can't even bring myself to type his name ;) I'd probably just use
Chopin's Funeral March...

Neil,
	This sounds interesting. Care to share one of these hooks to show what
they actually look like?

The path to Posterous my messages take is rather convoluted, but whatever
you put in the ebuild_failed function will be executed on failure. For
the success notifications, I put this in bashrc

if [[ "${EBUILD_SUCCESS}" == "true" ]]; then
	register_success_hook ebuild_success

	ebuild_success() {
		do something warm and fuzzy
	}
fi

/etc/portage.env/notify.conf contains
EBUILD_SUCCESS="true"

and /etc/portage/package.env/libreoffice contains
app-office/libreoffice notify.conf

Which "Posterous" is this?
When I google it, I only get information that it actually got 
shut down after being bought by Twitter.

I am looking for a cheap method to get notifications to my 
mobile phone. I used to use a free SMS service via a 
company in SA.

Sorry, brain fade. I meant Pushover - https://pushover.net - I did use
Posterous before it got shut down, but that was for something completely
different.

This may do the job for you. I used to use NotifyMyAndroid but Pushover
is faster (NMA sometimes had delays) and is a one-off cost of $5.

Maybe Telegram[1] fits your needs. You'd need:

- The appropriate client on the phone side.
- Telegram CLI [2] on the computer.
- A little shell script, such as (usage: script USER MESSAGE)
  #!/bin/sh
  /path/to/telegram -B -k /path/to/tg.pub <<AAA

  msg $1 $2
  safe_quit
  AAA
 You could also send logfiles (^msg^send_text, $2 being the path to text
  file)

This and pushover look interesting.

But I also need something that doesn't require a data connection.
I am occasionally in places with bad reception and SMS is often still usable. Never mind the cost of maintaining a data connection while roaming. (Receiving SMS is free in any country I care to visit with my contract)

I don't mind paying for the service. But it needs to be affordable.

Hmm,

From this there should be a change to Gentoo policy. For every
sucessful ebuild emerged there should be a rendition of "Run Like Hell"

I wonder what songs are appropriate to Gentoo?
