Arch Linux User Repository

PSA: Like most of the PKGBUILDs that I (co-)maintain, I host prebuilt packages for this in my user repository and all its dependencies for those who wish to install it using pacman without messing around with building from the AUR. Issues or contributions are welcome either in comments below or via this GitHub repository.

Thanks for fixing the deps and some of the other things I mentioned. I can confirm this now builds in a clean chroot. In the future please bump the pkgrel value when changing anything about the build that affects the package registry such as changing dependencies. This still needs a bump for that reason.

In this case it's not a huge deal because it doesn't actually break, but removing python from the dependencies was a mistake. Please see here for where Arch guidelines emphatically say to not rely on transitive dependencies. Just think if every python library assumed python, eventually they would all break. This only works because python-fonttools has not made this mistake and hence this package works. Not that it's likely to change, but on general principle following the guidelines is a good idea. That was a step away from them.

As you review the guidelines please still consider adding me as a co-maintainer. If the things I'm suggesting are not good for end users and not following the guidelines that's one thing, but if what I'm pointing out is making better packages for everybody why not add me?

Per previous discussion, here are two incremental packages needed to bring this up to even minimal Arch packaging requirements. This package does not build before these patches, and it does with them. There are more things mentioned in the Arch Python package guidelines that are not correct yet, but this is an essential start to even get a working build.

Please apply each with git am < file.patch:

Similar to the patch I just sent for python-skia-pathops, this uses a more stable download URL, splits the build() and package() phases and makes a few other touchups inline with the general and python specific Arch package guidelines. Please consider applying the following using git am:
