I found very strange edge-case with this dtrx - it hangs up if the archive you're trying to unpack contains two files with the same name. 7z/unzip that is run in the background waits with the question what to do and dtrx just hangs up not responding and not showing this question.

The maintainer of this dtrx is aware of the issue and there is an open PR with the fix, however if someone doesn't want to build the dtrx themself the old not-maintained-anymore package dtrx-python3-git can somewhat handle that edge-case (unpacks only one file with that name).

That issue broke the dtrx for me when I upgraded from old python2 version and thought that I would share if someone has the same issue as me.

I get the following error when attempting an installation using yay :

@baatochan, thanks for sharing this potential issue with us. I have pinned your comment for people to be aware of and will be checking the issue / PR every once in a while so I know when I can update this package to include this fix.

I found very strange edge-case with this dtrx - it hangs up if the archive you're trying to unpack contains two files with the same name. 7z/unzip that is run in the background waits with the question what to do and dtrx just hangs up not responding and not showing this question.

The maintainer of this dtrx is aware of the issue and there is an open PR with the fix, however if someone doesn't want to build the dtrx themself the old not-maintained-anymore package dtrx-python3-git can somewhat handle that edge-case (unpacks only one file with that name).

That issue broke the dtrx for me when I upgraded from old python2 version and thought that I would share if someone has the same issue as me.

Sorry about that @bdjnk, I added the dependency at the end and forgot to run makepkg -f from a clean clone. Everything should be fixed now.

The PKGBUILD is broken.

Line 15 is missing an equal sign. It should be makedepends=('python-setuptools')

Line 35 is missing the version. It should be cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"

@Perdu, just adopted the package and updated it to the latest version available at https://github.com/dtrx-py/dtrx.

As you said, it was quite urgent to move away from the old Python 2 version so I took the time to update it for everyone here (and removed the dependency to git in the meantime).

This package has been flagged out-of-date over a year ago. Should an orphaned request be sent? The move to a python3 fork is now urgent.

We should follow suit because arch now removes python2 from repositories https://archlinux.org/news/removing-python2-from-the-repositories/ and the fork works with python3.

Debian is using this repo now: https://github.com/dtrx-py/dtrx (https://packages.debian.org/sid/dtrx), since brettcs's one is abandoned. It's a fork, seems to be well maintained. Should we follow suit here?

https://github.com/lincheney/dtrx

works with python3 and passes all the tests, FYI
