From official GNOME docs:

"Attention: PyGTK 2.24 will be the last release in the PyGTK series and will support the full GTK-2-24 API. PyGTK should not be used for new projects and existing PyGTK applications are recommended to be ported to PyGObject. See here for more information."

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGTK/WhatsNew224

Please stop asking me to update this package. I only "keep" it, so that it is not messed with by others, as some older applications still rely on it to function.

Thank you.

Looks like my local repo had merge conflicts for some reason, so the git checkout . had no effect. Builds fine for me.

git log -p

View errors, note who committed them.

Then

git reset --hard origin/master

When I try to build this:

git checkout . && makepkg;

And upstream pygtk even has a commit which fixes this, so I backported it and this builds perfectly in a clean chroot.

I don't care, your account has now been suspended for vandalism and deliberate rulebreaking and that commit was rolled back via a moderator action.

Discuss on the aur-general mailing list if you like.

The file in the archive will be deleted and next year people will complain it's missing. Many packages depend on pygtk, maybe it shouldn't even be deleted from upstream.

I think it's not even supposed to upload a script that not compile. This is the only reasonable solution. Otherwise, provide a working compiling script, I can't do that.

You are not supposed to do this in AUR. Read this and also this. Providing the source instead of linking to it falls under the 5th point in the second link which states

The AUR should not contain the binary tarball created by makepkg, nor should it contain the filelist.

EDIT: Well, this is even worse, you are providing a prebuilt arch package, this is certainly prohibited.
