I haven't used this package in ages so I wouldn't be against deletion.

For reference a deletion request has already been filed, I guess the next round of AUR cleanup will take care of this: https://lists.archlinux.org/hyperkitty/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org/message/WLAMDA2UYAZH4HRLJ4SERRA6Q46GKFHW/

Broken when run:

$ facedetect 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/facedetect", line 9, in <module>
    import cv2
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'

If I install python-opencv, another error occurs when opening a JPEG file:

$ facedetect photo.jpg 
facedetect: error: cannot load HAAR_FRONTALFACE_ALT2 from 
    /usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml

Ustream is discontinued and archived since 2019.

Maybe it's time to delete this?

(Edit: removed duplicated lines, added upstream link.)

python-opencv dependency is missing, in addition to the /usr/share/opencv symlink jtlab mentioned.

@jtlab I'm not using this package anymore, so if you want to take care of it please do, I'm disowning it

With the current version of the arch opencv package (opencv4) facedetect does not find necessary data files. Would be better to ln -s /usr/share/opencv4 /usr/share/opencv as part of installation. Btw, I would be interested in maintaining that package.

I'm newbie on Arch Linux package management and AUR. But if situation happens, I will take this maintainership. Thanks for your job.

Thanks for the heads up @stardiviner, I updated the PKGBUILD to not sed anymore and to depend on python3

Please note that I'm not using facedetect. I'm happy doing trivial changes like those, provided I'm warned and they're simple, but I don't actively check the project; as such if someone actually cares about it they should probably step up and take over maintainership.

facedetect supports python3 now. So PKGBUILD should remove sed substitute now.
