Arch Linux User Repository

They're advertising 3.1.0 on the OpenLP website now, but all the downloads seem to point to 3.1.1. What's up with that?

I got the impression that the newest OpenLP is out, should we update things for the new version? This would be the one that doesn't need Pillow.

If Python-vlc is required for OpenLP to actually work, then I believe it should be in "depends", if it adds value, but isn't really required for it to work, then it should be in "optdepends". My guess is, it shouldn't be in both... Since it being in "depends" should force its installation along with OpenLP.

@juster-0 I'm looking over the PKGBUILD. python-vlc is in both the depends and the optdepends. It seems to me that it's pretty fundamental to the working of OpenLP. Should it just be in depends, or should Arch packages limit the depends as much as possible and only have it in optdepends?

@macxcool, I agree with you, but in lower versions I get this error. That’s why I’ve used the latest relatively stable version.

@rprice, @juster-0, @ExtraordinaryBen Thanks for the work on the PKGBUILDs. I'm not sure what to do with all this.

Is the python-pillow problem not a problem anymore for v3.0.2? I thought it was? The 3.1.0rc4 PKGBUILD does work well, though.

I'm not sure I want to 'release' a version for 3.1.0rc4. I'd want to wait until the full 3.1.0 version, as is usually done. I know the release cycle is quite slow with OpenLP, but I want to keep things as stable as possible for anyone using this package.

I've tested and confirmed that package 'qt5-webkit' can be replaced with 'python-pyqt5-webengine' so you do not have to wait building webkit locally. :)

If somebody need it. I've modified PKGBUILD based on @rprice and original PKGBUILD, but using version 3.1.0rc4 from gitlab.

I found that the PKGBUILD didn't work for me, but I changed things, and this one does seem to work. I believe it was the package dependencies. It may have cruft in it, but I managed to get OpenLP installed today.

for me this additional dependencies were missing: python-flask, python-flask-cors, python-webob, python-vlc, python-pymediainfo
