Do you want to proceed? [y/N] 

I've updated the package build to support the changes from the python2 to python 3 transition.

please update PACKBUILD

mlt-python-bindings is not in the repos anymore.

It does not start (mlt dependency is installed v6.18.0-3):

FLOWBLADE MOVIE EDITOR 2.4

Running from installation...

MLT not found, exiting...
('ERROR:', ImportError('No module named mlt',))

I'm able to compile and run (as in it opens) the appliction (2.0.r196.g86214511-1) I'm unmarking this as out of date since the pkgver is set via a pkgver() function.

@diddyonlinux Correct, this is just here for testing and wishful thinking. If the maintainer of the stable release package, flowblade, doesn't update it then either you or I can submit a request to become the maintainer. I'm going to unflag this unless something is actually out of date.

This is:

pulling from git unstable development code
using setup.py to install which is not supported

It is not reasonable to expect this to work constantly. The workaround is to use stable releases.

python2-gnomevfs no longer exists. Depends altogether need to be adjusted! Have a look at the regular package!

Added the missing dependency. After that it works fin for me. No need for git tags.

You need to use --tags with the git command: git describe --tags --long | sed [...], otherwise makepkg will fail! Trying to launch it, I get $ flowblade FLOWBLADE MOVIE EDITOR 0.18 --------------------------- Launch script dir: /usr/bin Running from installation... modules path: /usr/share/pyshared/Flowblade MLT found, version: 0.9.6 Failed to import module app.py to launch Flowblade! ERROR: No module named dbus Installation was assumed to be at: /usr/share/pyshared/Flowblade Looks like there's a missing dependency. It runs fine after installing python2-dbus, so please add it to the dependencies!
