This package doesn't compile anymore, that's sad, that was a very interesting tool.

python3 -m compileall -ql pkgbrowser pkgbrowser/ui
*** Error compiling 'pkgbrowser/ui/resources_rc.py'...
  File "pkgbrowser/ui/resources_rc.py", line 11
    qt_resource_data = b"\

@yochananmarqos I'm glad you got the message. Next time this happens, I may break out the popcorn and leave it for a week instead of updating it the next day.

@kachelaqa: You do realize how selfish that sounds, right?

Fine, do whatever you want. Have fun!

It's there for the benefit of the code author (i.e. me). I don't care about any trivial inconvenience to other users, nor whether it makes sense to people who aren't familiar with the code.

@kachelaqa: The Python version restriction makes no sense. Users are responsible for rebuilding their own AUR packages. If the restriction wasn't there, there would be nothing for you to do.

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

blackhole commented on 2024-12-22 16:01 (UTC)

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.

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