Arch Linux User Repository

I've adopted and updated the PKGBUILD, inspired by the work from @mags and @Auerhuhn from the comments. I replaced the broken install.sh as per @mags's suggestion, but didn't mess around too much otherwise. I may have made mistakes so let me know.

Since there are no updates I manually patched the pkgbuild and it works, just replace the url with the current one https://codeberg.org/jepler/cropgui and libjpeg with libjpeg-turbo

This depends on libjpeg, which used to be provided by libjpeg-turbo, but is no longer the case with libjpeg-turbo 3.2.0-2. Could this depend on libjpeg-turbo 3.2.0-2 instead?

Also there are a bunch of outstanding issues from over a year ago. Please disown if you have no interest in maintaining the package.

@PainSan67 Would you mind fixing this as @mags has suggested in their comment?

The package is completely unusable as is.

Update: I adopted and overhauled cropgui-git. Feel free to reuse it for this PKGBUILD if you want.

This package is completely broken as is.

Not only does upstream not follow python packaging standards, but the install.sh is a mess that doesn't install anything in right place.

This PKGBUILD will work as a workaround for the time being: https://gist.github.com/arcmags/d3d2bc65e42a76b3c0398ee8c3ce763e

...but, I would not personally recommend installing this as a system-wide package until it is properly packaged upstream.

The current PKGBUILD gives a 'dist tool' error since that package no longer exists in Python 3.12. The package also installs files in '/' and generates the "No module named 'cropgui_common" error.

As mentioned by mags, I think you need to add:

makedepends=('python-setuptools')

That worked for me.

pkgrel should be bumped to rebuild against python 3.12 (like python packages in the official repos do). Also, python-setuptools is now a make dependency as distutils was removed from python 3.12.

Hello @jose1711 and thanks for maintaining the package! Currently, there is an issue described in the commit message below. The patch below resolves that. Could you please apply the commit? Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] Fix packaging when `which python` is `/sbin`

On many systems, `/sbin` is a symbolic link to `/usr/bin`. When passing
`-p /usr` before `-P /usr/bin/python`, we set `BINDIR` env variable to
`/sbin` and then do not override it with `/usr/bin`. So, the package
archive contains `/sbin/cropgui` instead of `/usr/bin/cropgui`. It results in
the following issues during package installation:

  error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
  cropgui: /sbin exists in filesystem (owned by filesystem)

Changing `-p` and `-P` options order resolves the issue.

@jose1711: thank you for the package-update. It works well! :-)

thank you all for your suggestions, please see the updated PKGBUILD and feel free to review & comment.
