Since svg support was added recently (https://github.com/hydrusnetwork/hydrus/commit/799c85ea745d4b18affb8b80ad0d65d68d2e2e22), you now need the qt6-svg package otherwise hydrus-client will fail to start with this error:

Critical boot error occurred! Details written to hydrus_crash.log in either db dir or user dir!

Thanks for the tip, I've confirmed the same on my own machine & added that to the list of required dependencies

After upgrading from version 526-1 to 527-1 I was unable to launch the application until I manually installed the qt6-multimedia package. This may need to be added to the dependency list, I have not done any in-depth investigation.

This was the error before adding this package:

Thanks for finally making it happen. It's really appreciated. I will report if there are any issues.

hydrus-docs-dummy

Thank you

The python2 issue was reported and fixed some time ago. I want to know what issue people are having now, after that migration. If the deps take a long time to install, that is surely only an issue when they are being removed between each build, but you should not be removing them if you intend to rebuild the software regularly.

As for mkdocs and its dependencies constantly breaking, I have never seen their compilation fail in recent memory, and barring quirks of my build system (i.e. no automatic dependency gathering and strict package name validation), neither has my build server:

• https://gurren.score.moe/jenkins/job/pkgbuilds/job/mkdocs-material-extensions/
• https://gurren.score.moe/jenkins/job/pkgbuilds/job/mkdocs-material/

I mentioned this last time and it bears repeating, this PKGBUILD already has a mechanism for excluding the docs makedeps: simply turn off docs in makepkg.conf. I have been asking people to tell me why this isn't an acceptable solution for them but all I've got are crickets, so what do I do with that?

Since this is clearly an issue that's still important to some regulars on here, maybe I'll try another tack: stub out docs in a readily available aur package that "provides" docs, and then split the package. Watch this space.

Upd: It's been split, and the dummy is in hydrus-docs-dummy. I've tried with yay and paru, and paru looks like it does a much better job (with yay showing a surprising failure to resolve dependencies), though neither seem to offer the alternative package by default.

I don't understand what more we can tell you: mkdocs and its dependencies are a mess that constantly break. They frequently won't compile / install, and even if they do, they significantly increase the installation time of this package as mkdocs wants to not only compile, but run a million tests.

Worst part is, this is not entirely your responsibility because it's the hydrus developer who has created this dependency. However, since they "officially" ship hydrus in such a way that all deps are included, they don't care that this dependency causes issues in this aur package, which makes it our problem, and we already told you what solution we want: remove mkdocs and all its dependencies.

Also, I don't believe its reasonable to expect people here to identify and debug the actual issue beyond what has already been reported, due to python2 being EOL, and many of those dependencies being unmaintained.

Again, just separate the docs and the application. For the past couple of years, many of us have had to do this manually with this package anyways.

Ok, it's working fine now. I had the version just before the one where you added the QT_API=pyqt6 setting. It worked with "QT_API=pyqt6" too but then I updated.

Thanks :)
