HOWTO: Sipie

I’m not sure why this Sipie isn’t on gentoo bugzilla, but it’s a great little application for listening to Sirius Radio. Here is how I installed the latest version as root of course:

   * mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/media-radio/Sipie
   * cd /usr/local/portage/media-radio/Sipie
   * wget -O Sipie-0.1196144357.ebuild http://wolf911.us/sabayon/ebuilds/Sipie-0.1196144357.ebuild
   * ebuild Sipie-0.1196144357.ebuild digest
   * emerge Sipie

Nothing to it and now to run it /usr/bin/sipie.py The first time you run it, it should do a captcha and ask for you username and password for your sirius account.

Note if you haven’t done a local overlay before you need to make sure in /etc/make.conf that you have the following line:

PORTDIR_OVERLAY=”/usr/local/portage”

Thanks to freeallbadgers for getting me the ebuild.
