Hey potatoe, it took me more than 2 years but thanks for the advice and the detailed explanation, I finally made time to move that pesky Raspberry Pi dependency to optional and included the other ones you mentioned too!

Sorry, I meant this package,
python-adafruit-gpio-git, contains support for using an FT232H (if you have thelibftdipackage installed) as a USB-connected GPIO expander (see the example at https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ft232h-breakout/gpio ). This should work on any machine with a USB port, even on desktop computers (in fact, the project's README describes how to install it on Linux, Mac, and Windows).However, this package's PKGBUILD lists
python-raspberry-gpiohere on the AUR as a mandatory dependency for building and installing this package, and thepython-raspberry-gpiopackage does not build or install on the x86_64 arch. Ifpython-raspberry-gpiowere moved from 'depends' into 'optdepends', this package could then be built on x86_64, e.g. to be used with an FT232H, or even on any of the other platforms this package supports.If you want to add a full list of platform-support libraries to optdepends, there seems to be
python-raspberry-gpiofor the Raspberry Pi (currently listed in depends),libftdifor FT232H support (in community),python-adafruit_bbio-gitfor the BeagleBone (in AUR; the package doesn't 'provide' the non-gitpython-adafruit_bbioname, so I think you have to explicitly list the git version?), andmraafor the MinnowBoard (in AUR, though I don't know what a MinnowBoard is or if ArchLinux runs on it).But even just dropping the hard dependency on
python-raspberry-gpiodown to an optdepend without adding pointers to anything else would be great in terms of making this possible to use outside of a raspberry pi.In terms of build-time vs run-time stuff, the imports for the platform-specific libraries look like they are only imported at run-time and only if the platform in question is detected (or for the FTDI chip, only if you explicitly import Adafruit_GPIO.FT232H), so none of them need to be build-time dependencies. A package built with none of them installed will still allow access to any of the (runtime-detected) GPIO platforms once the platform-specific library is added post-install.

not familiar with that one, doesn't it conflict?

python-raspberry-gpio should probably be an optdepend to make it easier to build on x86_64 (for FT232H support).
