Arch Linux User Repository

Apologies, I had forgotten to come back to this. I've added python-pyasynccore as a dependency to provide compatibility with Python >= 3.12 until the work is done upstream to migrate to asyncio (or whatever the solution ends up being).

fa-mlat-client gives following runtime error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘asyncore’

asyncore — Asynchronous socket handler
Deprecated since version 3.6, will be removed in version 3.12:
The asyncore module is deprecated (see PEP 594 for details).
Please use asyncio instead.

NOTE by author of mlat-client source code:

https://discussions.flightaware.com/t/ubuntu-24-04-noble-numbat-desktop-server-install-piaware-dump1090-fa-dump978-fa-and-piaware-web/90939/20

asyncio is not at all a drop-in replacement for asyncore, they work quite differently and there will be development work needed to port mlat-client to use asyncio.

seems like upstream problem: https://github.com/mutability/mlat-client/issues/39

When using with piaware, I am seeing the following error:

 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'asyncore'

I guess this is related to the usage of Python 3.12.

works now, IDK :thinking: Thanks anyway

Hey @meijin, are you sure that you're doing a clean build using the latest pkgbuild? That patch isn't present anymore, so it looks like you haven't pulled the latest.

OK, in light of your comments, I have edited my code at github ( https://github.com/abcd567a/archlinux-piaware )

I feel it is now in conformity with Arch Linux standards and practices.

Please have a look when you find time. Thank you.

@PanisSupraOmnia
Thank you for your review & comments about my composite repo. "archlinux-piaware" at Github.
I will shortly review it and will try to remove discrepancies pointed out by you.
Thanks again for your review.
