I'm the author of ocrmypdf and pikepdf - great to see the community here working away on the update. Several changes here are due deprecated features being removed in Python 3.7.
As of pikepdf 0.3.1, just released today, pybind11.patch will be unnecessary.
A few comments on dependencies compared to https://pastebin.com/84Tb6K6S: - jbig2enc should be added - leptonica should be added explicitly (>= 1.76.0, implied by tesseract) - qpdf should be added explicitly (>= 8.1.0, implied by pikepdf)
@fbrennan Thanks for adopting it! Glad I could help out the community.
Here are two fixes that escaped my attention:
(1) PKGBUILD of ocrmypdf is missing one depends=( ... 'python-reportlab>=3.3.0' ... )
(2) PKGBUILD of python-xmp-toolkit similarly is missing one depends=(... 'python-pytz')
Everything should be checked with namcap -i <pkgbuild|final .xz=""> anyhow.</pkgbuild|final>
May I also suggest to you to ask the pikepdf guy on Github why pybind11.patch is needed and also if that is the correct fix.
Thank you for the guide @bsdice ...
I adopted the package and will push a revised package for 7.0.2. (Unfortunately, have to wait for the python-ruffus package to either be disowned or updated. Will update as soon as that's done.)
Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to maintain this package as of late. I'm orphaning it so that someone with more time can take over.
Finally, another new package called "python-xmp-toolkit" is needed, PKGBUILD: https://pastebin.com/xcngPwUq
I have based the PKGBUILD on the git-package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-xmp-toolkit-git/
In the end, the software will work again:
$ ocrmypdf --version
7.0.2
Next, update package "python-ruffus" https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-ruffus/ and install the updated package python-ruffus-2.7.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz (you can imho skip the python2 package).
PKGBUILD diff: https://pastebin.com/z9Zs1wZ7
Next, you need a new package called "python-pikepdf". PKGBUILD: https://pastebin.com/hYRVaiqT
Patch file "pybind11.patch": https://pastebin.com/7BqByXUa
This package does not yet exist in Arch, feel free to create it.
The patch will throw out install_requires and introduce pybind11 as a setup_requires item. Otherwise, this library somehow can't find pybind11 and will quit with a backtrace.
Then, rebuild this package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pybind11 for Python 3.7. The fix got in just a couple of hours ago.
pacaur -S pybind11 or what else tool for AUR you prefer. If nothing, download PKGBUILD and rebuild/install manually.
Next, you will need the python package "img2pdf" as a dependency.
PKGBUILD: https://pastebin.com/QwptWeRZ
Create and install as usual with makepkg -Ccfi

The flag was invalid and has been removed with no action taken as no new version was released. There's nothing to do for this package; no new release has been made. Rebuild, as @eclairevoyant has said.
