Arch Linux User Repository

Fails to package epoptes-client because of it tries to remove "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/python3.10" when current Python version is 3.11 (hence no python3.10 dir).

If Python 3.10 must be used, please make python310 or python<=3.10 an explicit dependency.

If current version 3.11 of python package can be used with epoptes, please change the PKGBUILD so it can work.

For a command line more version-flexible, consider something like this instead:

_ver=$(python --version | grep -Po '3\.\d+')
rm -r "${pkgdir}/usr/bin" "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/python${_ver}"

I share the PKGBUILD that work for me.

I filed an upstream issue for this, and applied the patch. Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm upstream for Epoptes, trying Arch Linux for the first time. I managed to install epoptes-client using the requires='' workaround mentioned here. Thank you for that, I'll go ahead and commit it upstream, is that OK?

I also had to run pacman -S inetutils in order for the hostname command to be available, maybe that one needs to be declared as a dependency in the PKGBUILD.

Thanks to Sergio for the upgrade to 20.01-1! The install for epoptes-client now works without problems. Note: install the package 'bsdmainutils' beforehand using yay. Epoptes-client then installs with yay.

I was able to make some progress by installing python-twisted and adding Ushikawa's line. However, it now shows the error message:

...Switched to a new branch 'makepkg' ==> Starting prepare()... sed: can't read src/epoptes/setup.py: No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting...

This is for our school - to monitor student activity on their netbooks. I am in the process of moving over from Ubuntu, and need epoptes-client.

I am not sure I understand.. Do I remove python-twisted, and then try to install it?

@tomt i just built the package on a clean chroot and it built correctly... if you try to build it with python-twisted installed, it doesnt complete.. after the package is done, u can install it and it will pull pyhton-twisted

New install, trying to install epoptes-client. Made sure all dependencies are met, get this:

:: failed to verify integrity or prepare epoptes-client package

Any suggestions?

Hello,

I had a problem installing epoptes, and I found a slight flaw in setup.py. I know I should contribute on epoptes project, but since a very simple modification of PKGBUILD is able to correct the problem, I write it down here.

In prepare() : add the following line before "setup clean" and "setup config"

sed -i "57 a\ \trequires=''," src/epoptes/setup.py

I hope it may help ! Ushi
