Arch Linux User Repository

I just uploaded a PKGBUILD for labelle, dymoprint’s successor.

I also fixed the hatch-vcs issue while at it.

@rarvolt DM me if you’d like to be a co-maintainer.

I've tested with removing the <0.4 on hatch-vcs in the local build and it works without issues. I also tried 2.4.0 instead of 2.2.1 and it seems to work (although I only got it working with sudo for now)

ERROR Missing dependencies: hatch-vcs<0.4,>=0.3.0

@Nestor_013 That’s due to missing packages in makedepends, see the comment below yours. /cc @rarvolt

Hi, I cannot build it. I got these error messages:

==> Starting prepare()...

Hunk #1 succeeded at 265 with fuzz 1.
==> Starting build()...

Hi @rarvolt, thanks a lot for updating the version and incorporating the patch.

The current version of dymoprint requires a few additional dependencies:

• Missing depends: python-pyqt6 (see dymoprint#54)

• Changed depends: usb_modeswitch is no longer needed but python-pyusb is (see dymoprint#56)

• I see you’ve afforded the build process a little facelift so it now uses the latest recommended tools, which is excellent. Due to that, your PKGBUILD now requires the following additional makedepends: python-build, python-installer, python-setuptools, python-setuptools-scm and python-wheel. Would you mind adding those?

(You can confirm all findings by running namcap on the finished package file.)

Thanks again!

My patch for Pillow 10 compatibility has been accepted upstream, and will be included in an upcoming release.

@rarvolt If you bump dymoprint to v2.0.0, you can ignore my 2023-07-05 comment, and directly apply the patch from PR #68 instead: https://github.com/computerlyrik/dymoprint/pull/68.patch

With the latest update of python-pillow to version 10.0.0, dymoprint bails with the following stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/dymoprint", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'FreeTypeFont' object has no attribute 'getsize'

This is caused by one of the latest upstream releases removing a deprecated method.

The following patch works around this issue:

Note that this patch is just a quick workaround.
I’d rather recommend that the PKGBUILD be rewritten to use the source from GitHub, then build the wheel from the patched source.

Been getting more out of date, is this still maintained?
