0.8.x and "7za binary... NOT found!"

Post by sander »

@jcfp

SAB 0.8.x on a default install gives a warning: "7za binary... NOT found!" (FWIW: a warning is a bit harsh for an optional binary, I would say)

Code: Select all

2015-05-24 10:55:59,690::WARNING::[SABnzbd:519] 7za binary... NOT found!
After

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
all is well:

Code: Select all

2015-05-24 13:41:35,668::INFO::[SABnzbd:517] 7za binary... found (/usr/bin/7za)
So: will you put p7zip-full in the PPA as a required package?

The warning must go and the 7zip option will be grayed-out when not available.
Whether or not 7zip is seen as a requirement is for the package builders to decide.

When the time comes to release a 0.8.x on the ppa, that will be added as a (recommended or suggested) dependency like the other archiving utils (unzip, unrar|rar). As will libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 and python-gtk2, needed for zeroconf and the tray icon.
