Arch Linux User Repository

No problem, I unflagged it.

Sorry, I flagged the package as out-of-date without realizing I was not referring to the same app: https://github.com/dschep/ntfy != https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy

You know you can just add prepare() in PKGBUILD?

prepare() {
    cd "$srcdir/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
    sed -i 's/getargspec/getfullargspec/' ntfy/__init__.py
}

Here's a shell script providing a quick workaround until the bug is solved upstream.

It:

• downloads PKBUILD
• download the source
• and patch it
• recompress it in a tarball
• edit PKGBUILD with the proper source path (=the tarball) and the new md5sum
• make the package and install it

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
IFS=$'\n\t'

wget -O PKGBUILD https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/PKGBUILD?h=ntfy
pkgver="$(grep ^pkgver PKGBUILD | awk -F= '{print $2}')"
wget https://github.com/dschep/ntfy/archive/v$pkgver.tar.gz
tar axf v$pkgver.tar.gz
sed -i "s/getargspec/getfullargspec/g" ntfy-$pkgver/ntfy/__init__.py
tar czvf v$pkgver.tar.gz ntfy-$pkgver
MD5="$(md5sum "v$pkgver.tar.gz" | awk '{print $1}')"
sed \
    -i "s/md5sums=.*$/md5sums=('$MD5')/; s|https://github.com/dschep/ntfy/archive/||" \
    PKGBUILD

makepkg -i

Currently fails to build because ntfy is incompatible with python 3.11, see upstream issue.

Installing the python-emoji optional dependency breaks ntfy since python-emoji v2.0.0 was released, deprecating some kwargs.

Thanks for the notice rEnr3n should be fixed now

This needs python-setuptools to compile.
