alerque [1] filed an orphan request for python-fontpens [2]: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur- requests/2021-July/056541.html and https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur- requests/2021-July/056547.html Package does not build cleanly and after a year and a half of mentioning the same problems across the python font tooling landscape and maintaining my own forks on the side so I can build things that depend on these I'd like to be able to just maintain or co-maintain them. This package is part of a circular dependency loop that has been commented on for months (this package) and years (elsewhere in the loop). It can be resolved by not requiring checks that are upstream regression tests (the test suites require dependencies that require this!). I'd like to actually address this so that all packages can be built cleanly with only their specified dependencies (and in that order).
