Yeah I changed the cpp version myself. Does this also require gcc14 specifically or why isn't gcc from extra repo used?

Got a build error while in prepare():

Not sure if it is an upstream error or just have to change the c++ version by myself.

Update: problem solved after the latest commit. Thanks for maintaining this package!

This package is conflicting with curl now.

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
curl-impersonate: /usr/bin/wcurl exists in filesystem (owned by curl)

@patlefort python-curl-cffi as of version 0.11.1-1 now links to libcurl-impersonate.so. Just update it and things will work again.

patlefort commented on 2025-05-19 17:56 (UTC)

python-curl-cffi is not able to link because it expect a libcurl-impersonate-chrome.so. What is the correct way to link to this library?

dllud commented on 2025-05-18 21:22 (UTC)

@mattf you must take care to reset pkgrel back to 1 whenever you update the pkgver. Now it's too late (pkgrel should not go back), but please remember to reset it next time.

@dreieck I shold have fixed most of what you've reported. Thanks for letting me know.

dreieck commented on 2025-05-14 10:58 (UTC)

Ahoj,

you need to install the license text into /usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/: 

curl-impersonate E: Uncommon license identifiers such as 'MIT' require license files below /usr/share/licenses/curl-impersonate/ or switching to common license identifiers. Found 0/1 required license files.

Also, there are broken symlinks: 

curl-impersonate E: Symlink (usr/lib/curl-impersonate-chrome.so) points to non-existing /usr/lib/curl-impersonate.so.4.8.0
curl-impersonate E: Symlink (usr/lib/curl-impersonate-chrome.so.4) points to non-existing /usr/lib/curl-impersonate.so.4.8.0

(I checked after installation: /usr/lib/curl-impersonate-chrome.so and /usr/lib/curl-impersonate-chrome.so.4 are indeed broken.)

namcap reports on missing dependencies: 

curl-impersonate E: Dependency zstd detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libzstd.so.1'] needed in files ['usr/lib/libcurl-impersonate.so.4.8.0', 'usr/bin/curl-impersonate'])
curl-impersonate E: Dependency libidn2 detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libidn2.so.0'] needed in files ['usr/lib/libcurl-impersonate.so.4.8.0', 'usr/bin/curl-impersonate'])
curl-impersonate E: Dependency rtmpdump detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/librtmp.so.1'] needed in files ['usr/lib/libcurl-impersonate.so.4.8.0', 'usr/bin/curl-impersonate'])

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

Please make the downloaded source filename version specific.
e.g., change the source entry to:
"curl-impersonate-${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://github.com/lexiforest/curl-impersonate/archive/refs/tags/v${pkgver}.tar.gz"

Reason: Otherwise makepkg still finds the old file, and checksum verification fails.

Regards!

This package downloads stuff in build(). This should not happen.
If you cannot make this download happening through the source array, try to move it to prepare() so that build() can run in an offline environment:
