Arch Linux User Repository

Currently broken. The jfrog url is no longer available.

There is a copy available from the boost archives directly at https://archives.boost.io/release/1.65.1/source/boost_1_65_1.tar.bz2

Additionally, python version has bumped to 3.13.

Changes to deal with the above issues:

Perhaps the python version can be gotten from the system's environment, something like python -c 'import sys; print(f"{sys.version_info.major}.{sys.version_info.minor}")'

Additionally, the build step fails, although it's not clear why/how to fix it.

I'm unable to build this today:

Thanks.

Hello, are the python2 bindings actually needed? I see that only application needing this (ssf-git) does not have any python2 code. it could be disabled so people don't have to bother with unneeded python2- packages.

I had to make two changes to the PKGBUILD to get it compiled with Python 3.10:

Fixed PKGBUILD for newer Python and added split package for development: https://gist.github.com/piernov/61d95f3ccfe23a2b87bf3f7eddaa67da#file-pkgbuild

The PKGBUILD needs to be updated to python 3.7

Something shady happens on sourceforge again... Switched to alternative source server, which is linked from boost.org.
