Oh I did'nt notice that pkgs have depends=(icu72-bin). Thankyou for noting.

@oech3: I was coincidentally working on converting this package to source based as well. Here is the PKGBUILD I came up with: https://0x0.st/8nDh.txt

Converting this (orphaned) to source-based pkg cause enforcing icu build to user.

My opinion is: don't provide a icu72-bin package containing alien binaries. Bundle the required icu72 shared libraries direcly in the atelierb-bin and atelierb-cssp-bin.

icu72-bin is named icu72 and suggorates a source package anyway, you risk that the Fedora icu72 libraries are used for other software.

It could be that atelierb-bin and atelierb-cssp-bin could work with the built icu72 shared libraries (built from source), but that must be tested.

Probably a flatpack, snap is anyway a better way to distribute this software, because it is clearly not developed with bleeding edge libraries in mind.

Sorry. I don't think this is not needed to Fedora build.

Yes. If you nm -D for bins at those pkgs, you see 72 specific symbol names. But it could be editted by a dirty patchelf hack. Should we ask maintainer of them to do?

Aeh, are atelierb-bin and atelierb-cssp-bin acutally requiring icu72-bin to be the Fedora version?

Uploading icu72 is blocked by locking git repo name: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icu72-bin#comment-925259

Yes, and please do not simply download binary shared libaries from Fedora. See icu74, icu75. You have to use the version from gitlab which was used back then to build the last version of that icu version before it was upgraded and just keep the shared libaries .so.* (not the .so).

Can you convert this to source based icu72?
