Please stop flagging package as out-of-date until there is stable version, not alpha, beta, RC or whatever.

The other package has unneeded openssl-1.0. pygtk is optional, but needed for GUI. PKGBUILD I posted has python2-apsw included in lib folder, not needed to install from AUR.

Do you mind adding the improvement mentioned here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/acestream-engine-stable/#pinned-689244 ?

Hello, now this and acestream-engine are on the same version (3.1.49)

When there are problems with pkgbuilds get in touch with the maintainer and if that is unsuccessful go through an orphan request, don't create duplicates. acestream-engine need to be on stable and acestream-engine-beta should have been created instead.

Here is the correct PKGBUILD updated without python2-apsw dependency. The library is extracted from Launchpad package and inserted in Acestream lib folder to make it available to the engine. No need to install it from AUR.

python2-setuptools is the only remaining mandatory dependency. It's a crucial package which will remain on upstream for the next 1-2 years. It's difficult to extract and move it to Acestream lib folder since it needs some modifications upon install stage, but it's easy to port on AUR when upstream will erase it. Just copy the PKGBUILD and upload it.

python2-libappindicator and pygtk are optional dependencies, not really needed, useful only for GUI, but it's recommended to launch the engine as systemd service as stated in the pinned comment.

Without a new release from the developers, this package is designed to work for the next 10 years. If someone wants, please adopt it and update on AUR. Thanks.

@maxpayne3, sorry, I don't want to maintain this package.

maxpayne3 commented on 2021-01-14 08:49 (UTC)

I don't think so. It's for python 3 setuptool only. Python 2 setuptool is still needed for 284 packages on upstream, hardly it's removed soon.

Anyway, someone should adopt this package and update with the PKGBUILD provided below without python2-apsw dependency.

@qark, can you do it?

Is https://archlinux.org/todo/cleanup-of-python-setuptools-dependency-for-console-scripts/ relevant for this package?

@jsonP I don't think it will work, python 2/3 load their modules from different folders /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages for python2 and /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages for python3.

Thanks! Just one thing, I didn't try to make it work with python-apsw in the official repos, but maybe acestream code is compatible with some Python3 deps. What do you think?
