I'm unable to build this today:

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.
