also I removed python-pyxdg and caffeine runs fine without it? maybe it's no longer required.

ok i figured it out so my python-ewmh and python-pulsectl were installed in 2025 which went into a python 3.13 directory, maybe make it clear to clean rebuild these two aur packages first before building this package? thanks
whynothugo commented on 2026-04-25 16:45 (UTC)
tee: both of these packages are listed in depends=
Do you maybe have broken builds? Does python -c 'import ewmh' work?

OK, will update.
whynothugo commented on 2026-04-18 16:06 (UTC)
No separate release needs to be published any more, tarballs generated from tags are now usable directly since v4.3.1.
darose commented on 2026-04-18 16:02 (UTC)
FYI, v4.3.2 is not an official "release", just a tag. As per the release page (https://codeberg.org/WhyNotHugo/caffeine-ng/releases) 4.3.0 is the latest. I'm going to wait until a new official release before updating the package. You're welcome to tweak your own PKGBUILD locally to install interim release tags if you're anxious to run the latest bleeding edge code.

It's totally fine. I really only just agreed to start co-maintaining because @whynothugo was a bit busy and tight on time to release package updates. Again, I'm happy to have someone else doing the package updates if they're able to get to it faster than I am.

Thanks @darose. Sorry, didn't mean to step on your toes, but happy to help out if I can.
darose commented on 2026-04-17 13:31 (UTC)
I've been co-maintaining recently, but feel free to add another. @Rhinoceros will probably be faster with updates than I.

After an upgrade to Python 3.11, you need to rebuild this package (and all Python packages in the AUR).
