Arch Linux User Repository

Prior to flagging the package out-of-date or reporting build errors please:

• Make sure that your system is up-to-date (pacman -Syu)
• Rebuild and reinstall dependencies (especially ones from AUR)
• Rebuild and reinstall the package

Do not expect AUR packages to trigger rebuild or suggest bumping pkgrel number. This is expected behaviour and the way Arch packing is designed to work.

For more information read the official documentation and man pages.

python-pyfzf seems to be a required package not optional. I've tried removing my ~/.myclirc but I can't even execute --help without that package installed.

mycli --help

@olivierlm, I don't have problems building without python-setuptools-scm

$ pacman -Q python-setuptools-scm
error: package 'python-setuptools-scm' was not found

$ makepkg -c
==> Making package: mycli 1.27.2-2 (Sat 03 Aug 2024)

==> Cleaning up...

python-setuptools-scm seems to be a missing build dependency.

Is this package still being maintained? It seems to haven't been updated for half a year and upstream has changed the way it is built, no longer using setup.py scripts but pypa/build and pypa/installer for build and installation.

The PKGBUILD I use myself is built using the same way as upstream, and I've had no problems with it so far, here's the patch:

Requiring users to downgrade python-cryptography system wide to a year old version is a really bad idea. First, Arch doesn't support partial upgrades, second, this version is not available in the mirrors so users would have to compile it themselves, and third, this version is affected by a quite bad vulnerability.

I understand this restriction is from upstream, but it seems it's only a problem in their CI (to be confirmed).

Perhaps someone using the ssh features of mycli could confirm if it works even with the latest cryptography?

Could you remove the tests folder (/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/test/) from the package?

@enkeyz - "python-cli_helpers" is in the community repository (https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/python-cli_helpers/)

Install by executing "pacman -S python-cli_helpers"

Can't install, because python-cli_helpers is no longer available: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-cli_helpers
