hi @GaryScottMartin,

'gnat-gps' has been recently deprecated in favour of 'gnatstudio'.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnatstudio

Regards.

@ccorn

Thanks for the alternative method. It looks very good. And cheers for clearing up my python2-gobject2 confusion. I'll try to add your mods in tomorrow.

Regards.

@charlie5: Same runtime behavior here:

On my system, python2-gobject is needed else gnatstudio crashes with an > 'ImportError: No module named gi' error message.

But when building in a chroot, python2-gobject2 is needed, otherwise the following fatal error occurs:

/build/gnat-gps/src/gps-21.0w-20200427-15496-src/gnatcoll_extras/src/python_support_gtk.c:19:10: fatal error: 'pygobject.h' file not found

In my checkout, I have now added both to depends.

Because of the signature issue and the hassle of having to specify fallback packages, I have tried another approach: Just using

  export PYTHONUSERBASE="$srcdir/.local"
  export PATH="$srcdir/.local/bin:$PATH"
  pip2 install --user --cache-dir "$startdir/.cache/pip2" sphinx

This works both in chroot and local builds without unduly affecting the host system while still using persistent caching to avoid repeated downloads. It needs python2-pip in makedepends however.

I have checked that the file list of the resulting package is the same as in the previous revision, including documentation.

Hi again @xiretza

I just noticed you've replaced python2-gobject with python2-gobject2. On my system, python2-gobject is needed else gnatstudio crashes with an 'ImportError: No module named gi' error message.

Also, I have built and ran gps without python2-gobject2 being needed.

Hi @xiretza ... thanks for bumping up the package version.

Hi @Armag67

You need to ...

$ sudo rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python2-imagesize-1.2.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

$ sudo rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python2-imagesize-1.2.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz.sig

The same applies to several other obsolete python2 packages, which will show the same error message (so delete those also).

For the other problem, perhaps try pacaur or pikaur started in a terminal.

Hello, With today's update on Manjaro, pamac returns:

sudo: un terminal est requis pour lire le mot de passe; utilisez soit l'option -S pour lire depuis l'entrée standard ou configurez un outil askpass de demande de mot de passe
==> ERREUR : Une erreur s’est produite dans prepare().
    Abandon…

and:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gnat-gps.git
cd gnat-gps
makepkg -si

after identification returns:

erreur : '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/python2-imagesize-1.2.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz': paquet pour lequel la signature requise est manquante
==> ERREUR : Une erreur s’est produite dans prepare().
    Abandon…

I will try to modify PKGBUILD.

After marking as comment these lines for the Python2 modules already up to date on my box:

  # sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/p/python2-imagesize/python2-imagesize-1.2.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
  # sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/p/python2-snowballstemmer/python2-snowballstemmer-2.0.0-3-any.pkg.tar.xz
  # sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/p/python2-sphinx-alabaster-theme/python2-sphinx-alabaster-theme-0.7.12-3-any.pkg.tar.xz

  # sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/p/python2-sphinx/python2-sphinx-1.8.5-5-any.pkg.tar.zst

It seems to work, keep our fingers crossed...

IT WORKS!

@ccorn I've updated package to install the missing python2 packages from the archives. Thanks for letting us know of the problem.

@mindbound perhaps try rebuilding the gnatcoll-python package.

gnat-gps needs a rebuild because of a libclang.so version update.

Problem: python2-sphinx and some of its dependencies seem to be no longer available from the standard repos. I had to supply the following packages from the pacman cache:

python2-babel-2.8.0-4-any.pkg.tar.zst
python2-imagesize-1.2.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
python2-snowballstemmer-2.0.0-3-any.pkg.tar.xz
python2-sphinx-1.8.5-5-any.pkg.tar.zst
python2-sphinx-alabaster-theme-0.7.12-3-any.pkg.tar.xz
python2-sphinxcontrib-websupport-1.1.2-3-any.pkg.tar.xz
