Arch Linux User Repository

I have adopted this package and cleared it from out-of-date flag as it builds perfectly for me.

Poke me if there is any future issues.

please, can we get this package unflagged as out-of-date, it builds perfectly

after major python updates you just need to rebuild tree. If you have yay you can do it with this command:

yay -S --rebuildtree libratbag-git

Build seemingly works, but I had to

pip install PyGObject
pip install evdev

first, to run a few of the python tests.

Should probably be added to a requirments.txt file or something

can you unflag as outdated as it works for me after rebuilding python

Build is working on my machine, Rebuilt tree as python had some updates

yay -S --rebuildtree libratbag-git

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in check().
    Aborting...

From the log, the problem is that python-black needs to change a file but obviously can't because the shell script being ran that runs black just runs black --check on the relevant files, and --check only tells you if any files would be modified, it doesn't go through with the modifications (it's basically like a dry run).

The log file at the end of the above error message shows:

Oh no! 💥 💔 💥
1 file would be reformatted, 11 files would be left unchanged.

This is almost certainly due to an upstream change (I've begun the initial basic steps of bisection but I honestly don't have the time to fully bisect this right now). Changing the source() to pull the latest release (v0.17) instead of the latest main branch code completes without error, but obviously it doesn't even run a python-black check during the check process, because that was added later (v0.17 was launched 5 months ago).

I would suggest either patching test/python-black-check.sh at this line:

black --check $files

Actually pause: after typing the above I went ahead and tested a patch of my own, and it works perfectly. It just changes the problematic line into an if function:

  if black --check $files; then
    echo "success" && exit 0
    else black $files
  fi

This is necessary over just doing my initial test patch which amounted to changing black --check $files to black --check $files; black $files, because there may come times when the current upstream code doesn't require any changes, and therefore running black $files may cause an error. With this if statement, we check for whether black --check $files completes successfully and if it does we exit and the test is passed, but if it completes with files needing modified, it will then modify them and the test is passed.

I've also installed and tested the resulting build of libratbag using my patch, and sure enough it works perfectly (it actually fixes a crash I was experiencing earlier today which is why I was trying to reinstall in the first place).

 build() {

python-black and python-ruff are now required to build this package.

Building in a clean environment fails due to the missing /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libudev.pc. Therefore, systemd is a required build dependency.

jsut compiled this but when opening piper-git i get an error saying: Incompatible ratbagd API version / required: 2, provided:1)

just to say I could compile it on aarch64, you just have to edit the PKGBUILD to add it to arch
