Arch Linux User Repository

Anyone else having trouble compiling this at the moment ? I get this error:

npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree

Unfortunately the packages it installs are from a custom repo so I can't just install the normal arch ones. Alternatively I could post these packages into the AUR but this could run into problems with versioning, but I'll look into it.

Edit: Looking into it further, the miniupnpc from chia's repo shouldn't be installed as a system package because it conflicts with the normal one. Further, running pip in the package isn't dangerous because it's installed locally in the venv instead of system-wide. The wheel and pip it installs however can be installed system-wide so they have been added to normal depends and their pip install lines have been removed. Now the only packages installed via pip install are the modified miniupnpc and chia's own source code, and they're installed locally in the venv so it is safe. Also your statement about gtk3 is correct. It now replaces gtk in the dependencies.

Also this package uses pip install and that is not a good way to install python dependencies. Please fix.

What it needs is probably gtk3 then, I still have doubts that this package needed gtk which has been obsolete for couple years now. I haven't actually ran the software so I don't know which toolkit it needs.

It shouldn't anymore, it used to but I don't think they depend on gtk anymore and rather everything is packaged into electron. I still need a way to make sure the user has a gui though, there's probably better ways than just having the dependency gtk but I haven't researched them. I could use xorg-server but some people are using wayland, etc etc

Does it still need gtk dependency?

@attilaolah: Thank you for the fixes. They are now integrated into the package along with the new websocket dependency.

Also, looks like community/python-websockets should be a (runtime) dependency.

FWIW this diff seems to fix the issue for me:

miniupnpc==2.1 is not found because the pypi index URL has changed. It is now https://download.chia.net/?prefix=simple/ (but it is dynamically loaded from https://download-chia-net.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/simple/, which does not serve the right conten-type.)

I guess an alternative is to manually install those pypi packages during the build (by modifying pkgbuild).

I can't install this due to the following error

@ordtrogen: I can confirm the same issue you are reporting.

@BenTheTechGuy: where do you see they are working on a fix?

Thanks, I see your point. Installing python-websockets just results in another error however.

I believe that's a chia issue rather than an issue with this package, since it has the same dependencies and installation method as their official install guide, and this problem has been reported from other distros as well. The issue is that chia's install script doesn't install all the dependencies it needs right off the bat, so you need to install some manually; they're working on fixing it right now. In the meantime you can install the python-websockets package.

It's truly awesome that you're providing this! I do have a problem when starting. I'll try to install websockets and see if anything improves
