Hi, author of NormCap here. I just found out about the AUR package, and wanted to say thanks for maintaining it! If I can do something to ease your efforts, just give me a ping :-)

BTW, NormCap v0.3.1 was released 2 days ago. Updating to it might solve some of the existing issues, at least the incompatibility with tesseract 5 EDIT: Oh, I just saw you are already using that version. Great! :-)

It is currently broken on an up to date system with tesseract 5.x: https://github.com/dynobo/normcap/issues/170

Updating to 0.3.0 (beta) solves this:

On a new Arch installation you have to manually install python-pip and python-wheel first, if you use Openbox it needs a compositor like picom to work. Works fine, thank you.

Sorry, forgot to update the .SRCINFO when I updated the package last week.

Yes, now it includes py/pyc files as expected (1.5 MiB installed) and runs fine :). Thanks!

@Jake: I removed the .gitignore, did that make a difference?"

I already have the tesserocr update, but this is completely unrelated to the issue here. The pkgbuild still produces a basically empty package (0.01 MiB only dist-info metadata, no code) and this causes the import error, that most likely experiences Raymo111 too. Did some experiments now and to my surprise poetry build works correctly with the same tarball if it got extracted to another directory, turns out it otherwise picks up the AUR git and your .gitignore is the culprit. Poetry uses it as default exclude list, so everything is excluded... Please fix this @yochananmarqos.

Not sure if using poetry is even worth the hassle though, Arch Python package guidelines still describe setuptools (or converting from PEP 517 to setuptools) on the wiki, it seems to be simpler and more reliable currently.
