Please stop flagging package as out-of-date until there is stable version, not alpha, beta, RC or whatever.

3.1.75rc4 should be the release candidate, so not really the stable version, even if it's stable in the current use. 3.1.74 is the real stable version and it was offered on both python 3.7 and python 2.7, but now only the 2.7 is listed on the website, don't know why they removed the one on 3.7.

If you really want to ship python 3 for 3.1.75rc4, you should do it against python 3.8, not the upstream 3.11, even if you don't see issues, because it was tested and intended to work on python 3.8 and in the future, with newer updates, incompatibilities may raise.

The stable package deleted on AUR had a systemd service to start the engine in RAM memory only mode which was very useful since you don't get your SSD filled with Gigabytes during streams. It would be appreciated to restore it.

In the past I was managing this package, but got banned because I broke the rules in the attempt to make things easier for people, so now I refuse to do it. There are example PKGBUILD in the past comments on how to build a better package. You can take inspiration from there.

Sorry, I meant that for Python2, v3.1.74 is no longer offered on the website.

The webpage with the download options has the following latest version: v3.1.75rc4 (Python 3.8):

Linux

• Ubuntu 18: amd64/py3.8

And this is the support forum link:

https://forum.acestream.media/c/products-and-solutions/69

@MarsSeed what upstream website you mean? The one from "Upstream URL" links to https://docs.acestream.net/en/products/#linux which still has 3.1.74.

Support forum is not available here.

Upstream website says latest version 3.1.75rc4.

It no longer offers 3.1.74 for download.

Also, please kindly make this package depend on python (Python3). That's what people who install the application manually choose to use anyway, as evidenced by comments on upstream's support forum.

Python2 is EOL since many years, and it is insecure, along with its also-deprecated modules like python2-requests and python2-urllib3.

Also some of the downstream dependencies are broken as of now and cannot be built.

Also python2-apsw is a deprecated bindings library for sqlite3 and is no longer fully compatible with that.

Please stop flagging package as out-of-date until there is stable version, not alpha, beta, RC or whatever.

@maxpayne3 this pkgbuild is orphan you can rescue the files from the other one and improve this

An alternate package of acestream with better services was deleted and now remains this one, basic and ugly, stuck to an older version. If you want acestream on Arch, package it yourself, AUR is not good for it.

Python 11 is already out (not on upstream yet). Will 3.1.75rc4 work on it?

It is possible to run the latest version of acestream (3.1.75rc4) with python 3.10...

I got it. Thanks so much. Endeavour OS, here I go.
