Small change in PKGBUILD to fix the error: python>=3.13

I tried to remove 'python<3.13' but I have errors

Python 3.13.1 landed core-testing repository and it breaks the 'python<3.13' dependency in the PKGBUILD.

1+ for @siliconmeadow's patch applied it and it build successfully

Due to pacman 7 out now, I did part of what @becko suggested and removed the upper limit version of pacman:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD

Had to add python-setuptools to the depends array in the PKGBUILD to get it to build.

EDIT:

OK, I rebuild pkgbrowser adding a makedepends array in the PKGBUILD. ie: makedepends=('python-setuptools') inserted below the depends array.

Pkgbrowser doesn't need python-setuptools to run, so no point in having it listed as a dependency.

I build both with my AUR helper, https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch , and in a clean chroot using pkgctl build. The 'pkgctl' script is provided by the devtools package.

@galvez_65: How do you figure?

In Python 3.12, distutils will no longer be installed by make install or any of the first-party distribution. Third-party redistributors should no longer include distutils in their bundles or repositories.

EDIT: Adding python-setuptools to makedepends() allows it to build successfully.

I agree!

I believe that removing the pacman<6.1 and python<3.12 restrictions would make it more robust, there would be no need to fix after every pacman and python update. Those updates might break but they would break it anyway.

editing the PKGBUILD file changing python from <3.12 to <3.13 and bumping the release allows this to be installed. I've not done extensive testing but it starts and does a simple search.
