Thanks for updating this, I'm still looking over the changes. BTW, it may be worth using git+$url.git#tag=$pkgver as the source rather than the github tarball --

@frankspace your patch has been added, thanks!

@matthewq337 thanks! No offense, by had my share of bad luck doing co-maintaining. Ended up fixing packaging bugs on every update the other maintainer would do. No fun in that.

@RubenKelevra it's yours now

Sure, but I have no desire to co-maintain this.

@RubenKelevra you wanted to maintain this per PRQ#61442.

@matthewq337 why did you add me as maintainer?

Does not build in a chroot:

Yeah, imp was deprecated for a long time and has finally been removed. The imp.load_source function has no tidy replacement, to the annoyance of many, but the following patch appears to get the job done:

(Probably only the first change is actually necessary; the second bit with the "programming language" additions is just something I tossed in while I was there anyway.) I called it "importlib_patch.patch" and applied it in a prepare().

Also, I reiterate that I need python-setuptools added to the makedepends for this to compile in a chroot.

The package does not work with Python 3.12:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp'
