[aur-general] Python packaging: weird behaviour
by j.r 25 Jul '22

25 Jul '22

Hello list, I'm currently trying to adapt my AUR packages to the new PEP 517 based build workflow [1]. Some users of the telegram-tg [2] package reported after I changed it to PEP 517, that they are missing the actual python files in the final package. I investigated a bit further and found out if I build with makechrootpkg (like I usually do) the files are inside the package (that's why I didn't notice), but if I use yay for example (which uses makepkg without a clean chroot), the package does not contain the files. Now I'm a bit confused and don't know how to debug this further, could somebody please help me or at least give me a hint? Thanks in advance j.r [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python%20package%20guidelines#Standards_ba… [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/telegram-tg

[aur-general] Python Package Update Review Request
by Sean Snell 30 Jun '22

30 Jun '22

Hello, I'm fairly new to the PEP 517 workflow for Python Packaging however python-dephell / setuptools have created a problem where deprecated components are being invoked which, after further research, I've learned are related to the streamdeck-ui package <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/streamdeck-ui> I maintain (*that I didn't make, I adopted*) failing to build <https://pastebin.com/qNbJNH8y>. I believe I've figured out that updating to the PEP 517 workflow should allow the issues we're seeing to go away and allow building to work again for the foreseeable future because the updates would eliminate the need for the failing modules invoked for build() and if I've read this all correctly the standard update means the package would remaining usable for longer. If I could get a review of the attached PKGBUILD that would be great! Thanks, Sean Build errors from previous version: https://pastebin.com/qNbJNH8y PS - Can I get pointed in the right direction for info on setting up PGP keys? Thanks!

Hello, Recently I created my account for the AUR but when adding my email I wrote incorrectly the domain as .xom instead of .com and I can't get the verification link to continue with the account registration process. The username is JafsZero with Jafszero(a)gmail.com as the correct email. Not Jafszero(a)gmai.xom

[aur-general] Packaging Python projects without setup.py or PEP 517
by Attila Fidan 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

What's the recommended way to go about packaging a Python project that doesn't use PEP 517 or setuptools/distutils? Is there a method with pip, is just copying the files to $pkgdir fine, or should a PEP 517/setup.py be implemented through a patch?

Hi all, I am hoping to regain access to my aur account. The email used was `danso(a)archlinux.info`, using the now dead email service once hosted by (forum user) tredaelli. Here is one contribution I made to gcalcli, back in the day: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=gcalcli&id=b0d53542afe559c…

Dear, I am new to this mail list, hence please let me know anything if I didn't do properly. There is a GitHub repository (https://github.com/fancompute/ceviche) I want to pack it up as a python library for ez maintenance if there is any future update from the original authors. Last, I attach my PKGBUILD file here. Please let me know if I should paste the script in the mail instead. Thanks

[aur-general] Subdirectories: is my workaround acceptable?
by Claudia Pellegrino 17 Jun '22

17 Jun '22

Hi fellow AUR maintainers, Over time, I have refined my editor settings in Visual Studio Code to make working with PKGBUILDs more enjoyable. For example, I have added settings which, on a PKGBUILD-by-PKGBUILD basis, enforce a consistent style throughout the whole PKGBUILD. I also have settings to auto-enable shellcheck for linting. For several PKGBUILDs that I maintain, I’d like to share those settings with fellow contributors so whenever they open the directory that contains my PKGBUILD as a workspace in VS Code, it picks up those settings and applies them automatically so those contributors can enjoy zero-configuration linting and consistent styling. Now my issue here is: VS Code’s workspace-level settings live in a .vscode subdirectory so a team of contributors can share those settings via Git along with the project files. But I’ve noticed that aurweb appears to enforce some kind of no-subdirectories rule [1]. I started working around that limitation by including a tarball [2] with my PKGBUILDs instead of a .vscode directory. While aurweb would have rejected that directory, it does accept the tarball. - Do you find my workaround acceptable? Or would that go against the spirit of aurweb’s no-subdirectories rule? - What is the rationale behind the no-subdirectories rule, anyway? Thanks for your thoughts in advance.
