PSA: I've started hosting this and all its dependencies as prebuilt packages in my repository for those that want to install them using pacman without messing around with building from the AUR.

I think you're misunderstanding the packaging guidelines. The case you're referring to is for when two packages for the same program (or library or whatever) exist, one for the fixed versions and one for building from VCS. In that case, per guidelines, the VCS package should conflict and provide the base package as it offers the same functionality, but is slightly different.

In the case here, this package has nothing to do with the spot client, and it's not really clear to me why it contains /usr/bin/spot. Plus there's also a 'spot-client' package this one is also in conflict with due to the overlapping filename.

Since 'afdko' is the package going against the convention here — providing a binary with a filename with no connection to the package — I'd put the conflict here, or rather rename the binary if possible, i.e. it's not called from somewhere else.

@EndlessEden That conflict should be added on the VCS package (-git) not this one per Arch packaging guidelines.

this package produces /usr/bin/spot| which is also is in 'spot-client-git'. please either add 'spot-client-git' to conflicts or rename it to adobe-spot during packaging.

<alad> SolarAquarion: those packages have circular deps in the checkdepends so it'd only build with makepkg --nocheck

@SolarAquarion Which ones do you think ar transitive? I try not to list any transitives at all. In this case I think the issue is that the fonttools has a bunch of optional dependencies and the Arch package doesn't require them, so any downstream packages that use those features need to specify the optional fonttools deps.

Happy to fix any that are actually transitive.

There's a bit too many transitive dependencies in the package

looks like the build is broken on current systems, when building right now it errors out in a pretty deep chain of dependencies, ending at:

==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.
error: target not found: python-fontparts
error: target not found: python-fontpens

Thanks @gyscos, that apparently got added in 3.5.1 and I missed the requirements change. See this commit for where it got added and why. I'll list it here.

I think this packages depends on python-tqdm to run makeotf. Without it:

@caleb - I apologize but thank you very much for pointing those out :)
