Arch Linux

It fails because the PKGBUILD is broken in more ways than one. First, it is trying to find python2-i3 when it is really searching for python2-i3-git. Then, this line is wrong:

cd "$srcdir/$_gitname-build"

It should be:

cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"

broken on missing python2-i3
i tried to change python2-i3 to python-i3-git.
but that fails

Updated deps to python2 versions and to use newer git source support.

Note: python2-i3 is provided by the python2-i3-git package

Updated PKGBUILD: https://github.com/thiagowfx/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/i3session-git/PKGBUILD

Maintainer, please update it.

The correct package is python2-i3-git

aura >>= Dependency checking failed for these reasons:
The dependency `python-i3` could not be found. You may need to search for a package to satisfy it.

Hi, this package is for the development version of a project and is provided as a convenience. Saying that, I have now made a pull request to the upstream project to fix the crash on restore issue. To build the package with that version now you can use https://github.com/anntoin/i3session as the gitroot. I'd like this working better myself so patches welcome :)

This package still has not been fixed. It does not work.

The dependency listed on the git README is i3-py, not python-i3.

Even after installing, though, program would crash on restore.
To fix, line 53 should read:
if self.parent and self.parent.data['orientation']!='none':

So it is. Don't know where I got the idea it worked with python 3, sorry about that.
Will update the package over the weekend, if there's anything else let me know.

Hi, this package is written in python2.
And this package still have some bugs.

Hi, the package python-i3-git provides python-i3.

python-i3 could not be found, but python2-i3-git is on aur.
