Sure, can do :)

@tohojo, the PKGBUILD currently requires python-setuptools in its makedepends=() array. I'm building in a clean chroot where python-setuptools doesn't exist unless I specify it. Would you mind adding python-setuptools to makedepends=()?

Hmm, I just removed python-setuptools as a dependency with 2.2.0-4. What error are you seeing without it?

missing dependency: python-setuptools

fyi if you get this error

❯ flent-gui
Starting Flent 2.2.0 using Python 3.13.11.
ERROR: Unable to find a usable Qt version, please ensure qtpy is installed (libQt6UiTools.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory).

then you likely have the QT_API environment variable set to pyqt6 without having python-qt6 installed. You can just change it to pyqt5. You can also do this if you want to have both pyqt5 and pyqt6 installed.

@awh, Flent does not support Qt6. You'll have to install python-pyqt5 to use the GUI.

Both of those packages are listed as optional dependencies, which is deliberate: it's possible to run tests from the command line without the plotting and GUI capabilities, so they should not be hard dependencies.

just tried to install today, seems to be missing some deps:

after installing python-qtpy, the gui runs.

Ah, that would be because pypi has removed the support for the signature files entirely (and retroactively, thus breaking packaging files that attempt to remove them): https://blog.pypi.org/posts/2023-05-23-removing-pgp/

I'll push an update removing the .asc file from the PKGBUILD, thanks for the report!
