@taotieren I've adjusted the package. However, the run order for prepare() and pkgver() are described in man PKGBUILD. Please report the bug to lilac devs.

Hello. I use lilac's packaging environment. The following errors were found. In lilac, pkgver() takes precedence over prepare(). Can you make the following modifications? thank

prepare() {
  cd "$_pkgsrc"
  git tag 2.1.2 65d8c4aa8912e5f5d152466362c78ab1fbbfcd47 2> /dev/null || true
}

pkgver() {
  cd "$_pkgsrc"
  git describe --long --tags --abbrev=7 --exclude='*[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]*' \
    | sed -E 's/^[^0-9]*//;s/([^-]*-g)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

pkgver() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${_pkgsrc}"
    (
        set -o pipefail
        git describe --long --tag --abbrev=7 2>/dev/null | sed 's/^v//g;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g' ||
            printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short=7 HEAD)"
    )
}

few days ago on arch linux (what else do you think if i am writing here??)

[docmax@x1cg6 ~]$ mtk_gui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mtk_gui", line 5, in <module>
    from mtkclient.mtk_gui import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mtkclient.mtk_gui'

how to fix?

Applying patch fails for me:

==> Starting prepare()...
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
