Note that this package provides only VPN profiles but not the vendor’s software.

The package version refers to the python-pia tool by @flamusdiu, which may lag behind the vendor’s own VPN software version.

Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable python-pia version.

Thank you!

I got the following error when building

-> Creating working copy of python-pia git repo...
Cloning into 'python-pia'...
done.
fatal: invalid reference: 3.4

I was able to fix it by prepending a vto the tag

"git+https://github.com/flamusdiu/python-pia.git#tag=v${pkgver}"

Looks like they removed a bunch of configuration as well. Hmm, working out removing the other configuration options since they do not work.

Hmm, okay. I have some work to do. Apparently, PIA changed the file names and moves stuff around. Let me see how I want to work this out.

Take your time dude! I appreciate everything you've done to make this package anyways, so if there's a little thing broken I'm more than happy to fix it myself.

(also sorry, I would have raised a PR against the repo, but I kinda thought it was abandoned or you were too busy. Hope my previous comment didn't come off as rude!)

Give me a day and I'll get this fixed. Sorry, it's been a crazy year.

oh, and I had to change the checksums on some of the files.

Seems even more broken than usual. So I got it working by changing the egrep line in the PKGBUILD to:

    host=$(grep -Po "(?<=remote )[-a-zA-Z.]+" "$file")

I also had to modify python-pia before a could call sudo pia -a. I had to change line 85 in pia/applications/hooks.py to :

        return [h.fqdn for h in properties.get_default_hosts_list() if h.name == re.sub('_', ' ', config_id)][0]

(note the swapped '_' and ' ' there). That seems to have done the trick, but man was this a pain. Either way, vpn working again.

sorry, the comment I just made was actually for the dev version of this package, I'll cross post it there.

Thanks to florosus with that I've successfully installed the package, but In my case, sha256sums were different from what he sent. Here're my results: 74ac6ec76cd107e91e8be89d95e186e9c88b842ba80a638d29f23cbfb3d68f0b
