Hi, I hope it's a good place to post a bug report about your filerock-client git repo :)
I think you should modify the "1002-setup_py.patch" a little bit because the COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS variable should be a *list* of strings instead of a simple string. So you should replace: [...] # This should be a list of string, representing command line arguments -COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS = None +COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS = '' With: [...] # This should be a list of string, representing command line arguments -COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS = None +COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS = [] At the moment if I compile the package from your git repo and install the resulting deb file filerock doesn't start and fails with: $ filerock Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/filerock", line 53, in <module> main() File "/usr/share/filerock-client/filerockclient/main.py", line 112, in main args.interface, get_command_line(), 'filerock.py') File "/usr/share/filerock-client/filerockclient/constants.py", line 170, in get_command_line cmdline = [get_executable_path()] + get_commandline_args() TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "str") to list Using the empty list in the build_spec.py file instead of an empty string all work as expected.
