Below issue is probably related to these messages I see when I build:

FYI, I ran into some issues with this package. Although I was able to finally get it to build (by overriding the env variable mentioned below) it somehow built with a version number of "v0.0.1 0123456789". This prevented the app from being able to download extensions, as it was getting a 403 when it attempted to download from the extensions web site. I didn't know how to correct this, and wound up having to install the duckdb-bin package instead. I'd rather install this one though, as I need to install python-duckdb as well, and this package takes care of 2 birds with one stone. If you know how to fix this versioning issue, please advise.

I'm running into a build error:

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

Any idea what the issue might be?

@seschwar, add

SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION=1.1.0

below pkgver or pkgrel

The package doesn't build:

Why does this PKGBUILD try to use GitHub tarballs when the software clearly tells you to not do so?

Same issue with 0.10.0, even after downgrading python-setuptools-scm

I made it compile using SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION

build() {
  cmake --build build

  SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION="$pkgver" python "$pkgbase-$pkgver/tools/pythonpkg/setup.py" build
}

@fourier, after downgrading like you suggest, I get this error when trying to install python-duckdb

any suggestions?

As explained here, the problem is with setuptools_scm version 8. Downgrading to version 7.1.0.4 with

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/p/python-setuptools-scm/python-setuptools-scm-7.1.0-4-any.pkg.tar.zst

solves the problem

@skogsmaskin I reinstalled python-setuptools-scm and I'm still getting the same error...

I removed (reinstalled) python-setuptools-scm before upgrading this package to get rid of the error mentioned by @fourier:

AttributeError: module 'setuptools_scm.integration' has no attribute 'infer_version'
