I've just restored this to AUR, to allow using check() in the PKGBUILD of python2-html5lib, itself recently restored by me.<br><br>I am working in concert with @hexd and a few other AUR volunteers to temporarily restore a select few core Python 2 packages that help in bring back to life some legacy apps which haven't yet migrated to Python 3 or have no alternatives yet, and which are still useful to people in the interim.<br><br>Testing related modules are extremely useful to keep as long as there are Python 2 based PKGBUILDs in AUR, so these are the very last that should be deleted.<br><br>It was testing done in the check() function that uncovered some utf-8 related configuration errors or source errors with some packages (e.g. discrepancy between PyPI and GitHub tarball, where one was missing important files).<br><br>So instead of forcing AUR maintainers to disable check(), I am trying to help them as well as myself to (re)enable testing, to see if everything is all right with the built package.<br><br>Is this answer acceptable for you as to the raison d'être of this AUR package? :)<br><br>Cheers,<br>Marcell<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 21 June 2022 22:06:28 GMT+02:00, notify@aur.archlinux.org wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
