Git-Cola should now work again with the 2.8 release.

I know that, I tried to get it working a week ago, but there was an error in the new dependencies, that come along.

The latest stable git-cola release is v2.7 (2016-07-29)

That shouldn't happen. There is only one file, that may cause this:

/usr/share/applications/git-cola-folder-handler.desktop

Could you move it somewhere else and try again?

Hi, could you please don't set it as default application for opening folders etc. After installing this package my system wants to open things with Git-Cola instead of Nautilus. E.g. if I click on the Owncloud client tray icon to open my cloud folder, it tries to do that with Git-Cola, which makes no sense.

@neng, done. Sorry for the delay.

@nobody44 please upgrade to 2.5. Thanks.

Se this please: https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/483#issuecomment-128238944

I swear he reuploaded the release. Anyway, now it should work without any problems. Sorry for the delay ;-).

Hi,

When trying to upgrade, I get this messages:

==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
v2.1.2.zip ... FAILED
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build git-cola.

Is there a way to update the sha256sum with the good one, or any other workaround to update this package?

Thanks, and best regards,

HeCSa.

Wrong sha256sums
sha256sums=('16fff73d2fd30bebdecce6f6179e87d6a03304e98819177de06055ead74d0f69')

It is now. Thanks for the reminder.

When will it be updated to the latest version?

cant install the latest version:

make -C share/doc/git-cola all
make[1]: Verzeichnis „/var/cache/pacman/pkg/git-cola8675/git-cola/src/git-cola-2.1.1/share/doc/git-cola“ wird betreten

That was happen where I was installing the package with inside of a virtualenv

Did you remove the python-sip package? It is a dependency of python-pyqt4, basically you shouldn't be able to remove it...

Version 2.0.8 compiles, please update.

Right now there is a bug in the git-cola code that prevents the package from compiling. I fixed it and created a pull-request on github... I will release the new version as soon as this small bug fix has been merged.

Can confirm that the fix posted by @pablovilas works, but only after a reboot.

Got similar error as pablovilas, however his locale-gen workaround does't work for me. Logs:

@zottelef: 'qgis'[1] package is the offender, it bundles the python2 version of pygments and somehow gets in the way. There is already a discussion at the package page. Try removing it before building and it should work.

In order to fix the encoding problem I just uncomment my locale in: /etc/locale.gen, then I run locale-gen and then set it as default enconding using localectl set-locale LANG="<encoding>" where encoding is for example: en_US.UTF-8

Updated to latest git-cola release:

Git-Cola run with Python3 now, so some dependencies changed: python-pyqt4 instead of python2-pyqt4, python-sphinx instead of python2-sphinx

Other than that, I hope it runs fine with Python3.

Updated, thanks for the info.

I guess the dependency "python2-pyqt" should be "python2-pyqt4" which is what it's now called in [extra]. Tried myself and it works well.

Thanks for the error report, but I have to say, that I cannot fix this. This is python2-sphinx and/or python2 itself. There is nothing I can do about it.

I have the following error when I try to compile the package :
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 15: ordinal not in range(128)

It's due to the path where I extracted the tarball which contains an « é ». Using an utf8 codec instead of an ascii one should be better.

those packages are in makedepends

in addition to python2-sphinx missing, add also asciidoc, xmlto, and rsync.

New Version: 1.7.6
Dependencies changed: sphinx2-build>=1.1.3
PKGBUILD slightly changed for sphinx-build2

makedepends changed: python2-sphinx instead of python-sphinx

It refused to compile until I changed python-sphinx to python2-sphinx in the PKGBUILD. The root cause is probably this:

This PKGBUILD works for me:

Please update PKGBUILD with version: 1.4.3.4 with md5sum: 27d5ee669a4bd430a8dbf87123448146

it still won't work with the python3 python-qt, but i've fixed it to use the new name of python2-pyqt, thanks

python2-qt>=4.3 dependency is broken now, need a fix to python-qt>=4.8

tk is only needed if you decide to use cola's fallback ssh-askpass implementation. I've added it as an optdepend for now because any ssh-askpass handler will work, but I might change it to a hard dependency since it is the "default" ssh-askpass handler.

Pushing stopped working for me after a recent update, until I installed tk.
Maybe it should become a dependency?

Can you please adjust the dependencies to require python2-qt instead of pyqt?

Here is an updated PKGBUILD that will make this package work with the new python2 layout. http://paste.pocoo.org/show/277984/

This also pulls the latest version, 1.4.2.4.
