@sandboiii: I've persuaded the catapult developer to do a new release with the fixes that I've found and submitted. I've already done a new AUR release of the new 1.1.1 - I hope it is ok :-)

@sandboiii thanks for the co-maintainer trust :-)

Hello, Uffe!
Thank you for your fix! Today I updated my system and got the same error with the urllib import. So, I've added the patch to the build process and now everything works correctly. I've also made you a co-maintainer, feel free to add any reasonable changes to the package!

All the best, sandboiii

FYI:

Due to Archlinux updating python from 3.12.7-1 to 3.13.1-1 the following patch needs to be applied to catapult:

there is not yet a new release of catapult - and I do not know if the author plans for one - if that is the case you could consider including the patch into the AUR pkgbuild... :-)

@sandboiii: Thanks for the answer This could end up as a circular issue... see https://github.com/otsaloma/catapult/issues/31 Right now we are in a situation where the package contents can change 1000's of times - even after you've prepared your release - with a sha256 on the AUR we at least would know that the package (still) is in the shape it had when you did the packaging. But feel free to chime in on the reported issue: https://github.com/otsaloma/catapult/issues/31

@uffe You don't need to persuade me, you need to persuade the author of the catapult to publish hash sums for each release. Otherwise, it's pretty much meaningless to calculate it myself.

Thanks for the recent update - Could I persuade you to enable sha256sum check on this package ?

GTK4 is a runtime dependency (since 0.9):

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/catapult-start", line 16, in <module> import catapult File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/catapult/init.py", line 25, in <module> gi.require_version("Gdk", "4.0") File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/gi/init.py", line 129, in require_version raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available for version %s' % ValueError: Namespace Gdk not available for version 4.0

After installing gtk4, catapult launches. Quite beautiful, how it launches.

Tried to install catapult 0.5-1 but it failed with the message:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/tmp/pamac-build-rwired/catapult/src/catapult-0.5/./setup-partial.py", line 7, in <module> from setuptools import find_packages ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

Not to be confused with catapult-bin, catapult is a laucher.
