@alerque I agree about tests, it makes sense to have them. However, they needed fixing, so I fixed them and the build command, based on Archlinux calibre package. As for man pages, I wasn't "no longer installing" generated man pages: in fact, they weren't being generated at all before I adopted the package -- I only removed the copy command that failed due to man pages not present in the sources. But it makes sense to have them generated, so I added python setup.py man_pages to the build command and python-sphinx to makedepends, and I'm packaging them now.

As for bumping VCS package, can you point me to an Arch wiki page that says this? I haven't been able to find anything on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines

Also, the auto update bot won't bump a package blindly: it checks for new commits daily, and bumps only if a test build is successful. The reasoning for bumping is to notify users using AUR helpers of an available update.

@allexx88

  • VCS packages do not need "bumping". Please don't do that, and take off the update bot. It's is never appropriate to auto bump a VCS package.

  • Removing the tests is not "fixing" the build.

  • No longer installing the generated man pages is not "fixing" the build.

@alllexx88 probably something on my end, but now it works. Thanks so much.

@eniac, I can't reproduce your error. It would typically mean that you ran python setup.py man_pages before running python setup.py gui. Are you sure you applied the patch correctly? Also, you can just build without man-pages, if you don't need them:

Thanks for your patch alllexx88, but now I'm getting an error on "Running man_pages", sphinx-build returns exception "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'calibre.gui2.dialogs.conversion_error_ui'". I was hoping to install calibre-git because the official package in Arch repo hasn't been updated in 2+ months now...

I've been able to build with this patch:

Had to comment the check() out due to tests failing with a couple of translation-related warnings.

I have the same errors as reported by choryuidentify
