Please use this package for stable more reliable builds

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/darling/

This one is identical but locked in on a last known working git ref and I will update as often as I can.

I have also raised an issue about versioning so maybe we can get some kind of tags for future versions and stable working builds

https://github.com/darlinghq/darling/issues/537

@SodachiLover420 libsystemd was listed because Darling requires libudev, which is provided by systemd-libs on standard Arch installs. I could change the dependency to libudev.so instead which should satisfy both Arch and Artix, but there's a problem: this works for the 64-bit version, since both Artix and Arch have a package that provides libudev.so=1-64, but for the 32-bit version, Arch provides libudev.so=1-32 (as one would expect) but Artix doesn't provide anything (just lib32-udev and lib32-eudev).

I'll go ahead and change it, but be aware that it still probably won't work for you on Artix because of this.

Please remove python2 from the makedepends. It is not required anymore according to the darling developers. This will also make it possible to have darling accepted in the chaotic-aur package list.

This package has hard dependency on libsystemd, however the darling-bin does not and seems to be functionally equivalent (despite obviously being less bleeding edge).

on arch-derivatives like Artix that do not use systemd this results in failure to build. unless there is something in the upstream branch of this package that requires systemd, perhaps libsystemd should to an optional dependency?

Also since systemd is a fundamental component of archlinux, what is the benefit of having it as a dependency in the first place?

:) have a nice day.

The most recent commit to the PKGBUILD appears to have broken updating some of the recursive submodules. The names of the submodules were changed in the PKGBUILD but have not changed in the source repositories. Reverting the changes should fix the issue.

thank you so much facekapw, very cool! why does this require python2, if macos already transitioned 3 years ago to python3 ?

I apologize; I know the build has been broken for about a week now. I've been away from my Arch machine for a bit, but I should have a chance to get this updated tomorrow.
