Maintainer: m3thodic packages need updating - no e-mail to contact (hidden)
Aur folk, I was trying to install createrepo_c that has sent me down dependency-hell of out-of-date packages. The last that I couldn't fix was libmodulemd maintained by m3thodic. The package was flagged out of date on 4/27/24. I don't know if the maintainer is just gone for a while, or if the packages are abandoned. The createrepo package depends on this and other AUR packages and is dead-in-the-water for now. How to handle this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

It's a git package. Run the PKGBUILD with makepkg and it will upgrade to the current commit. Or, just install it from the extra repository. Merell -- People say I live in my own little fantasy world... well, at least they *know* me there! -- D. L. Roth

Thank you!, but that fails: $ makepkg -s ==> Making package: libmodulemd-git 2.15.0.r0.gbfde7f2-1 (Sat 10 Aug 2024 07:27:21 PM CDT) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Installing missing dependencies... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... <snip> Run-time dependency gobject-introspection-1.0 found: YES 1.80.1 Dependency gobject-introspection-1.0 found: YES 1.80.1 (cached) Program /usr/bin/g-ir-scanner found: NO modulemd/meson.build:221:13: ERROR: Dependency 'gobject-introspection-1.0' tool variable 'g_ir_scanner' contains erroneous value: '/usr/bin/g-ir-scanner' This is a distributor issue -- please report it to your gobject-introspection-1.0 provider.

Most things I can muddle through, fixing gobject-introspection issues isn't one of them :(
Or, just install it from the extra repository.
Now that's an idea! Worked like a champ! I didn't even think to check since it was an AUR package. Thank you! createrepo_c dependency fun can proceed!
