@VStoiakin: Thanks! You went through the effort of creating this package on your own. To me this is enough evidence that you are interested in keeping this package alive. So I added you as co-maintainer. Of course, you can drop out of this role whenever you like.

@Bevan Not a problem, it was my oversight to create a duplicate. I now switched gtk-meshtastic-client to this package, so python-meshtastic can be removed.

Regarding maintainership, I program on C/C++ only and have a limited knowledge of Python, so won't insist to co-maintain it, but thanks for the suggestion!

@VStoiakin: I need to apologize. The deletion request was filed by krotesk and not by you. I jumped to wrong conclusions here.

Still, I now requested deletion of the python-meshtastic package so that there is only a single meshtastic-python package here in the AUR. I would be glad to add you as a co-maintainer if you want!

@VStoiakin: Sorry, it seems that I missed to respond to your comment. However, requesting deletion of this package as a consequence is not a nice way. I agree with the response that you got to your request: "meshtastic-python is the upstream name, and python- prefix is not necessary for binaries."

Regarding your comments regarding dependencies, I will consider them with the next update.

Uh.. Missed this package and created a duplicate for gtk-meshtastic-client. Some questions: 1. Should not this package be renamed to python-meshtastic? It works as a Python library for gtk-meshtastic-client, so according to a packaging standard should have a name python-*; 2. python-platformdirs, python-setuptools and python-wheel are not listed as dependencies in pyproject.toml. Are they really required? 3. Should a non-packaged dependency python-pytap2 be declared? I think it would be better to remove it and leave a comment in PKGBUILD.

@obionar: You need to rebuild python-timeago (and likely also python-dotmap) after the recent update to Python 3.12.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'timeago'

UPD: Fixed with rebuild python-timeago and python-dotmap. Thank you Bevan!

Done, thanks!

@Bevan, thank you for the fixes.

One minor request: please kindly specify a local name for the downloaded source based on $pkgname-$pkgver; otherwise a version-only name like 2.1.11.tar.gz might clash with something else if user has a common SRCDEST cache directory.

Bevan commented on 2023-07-09 20:10 (UTC)

@MarsSeed: I would love to but unfortunately pygatt breaks without it, and with it also meshtastic: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pygatt#comment-904165
