Re-added signature, users need to retrieve the PGP public key from upstream: https://app.eduvpn.org/linux/v4/deb/app+linux@eduvpn.org.asc.

For convenience, you can also do the following (note the dash - at the end of the line!):

curl https://app.eduvpn.org/linux/v4/deb/app+linux@eduvpn.org.asc | gpg --import -

A lot of dependencies are not needed and can be removed from the list: python-requests-oauthlib, python-pynacl, dbus-python, python-pyqt5, libibus and libgexiv2.

hicolor-icon-theme seems also unused.

Please move the OpenVPN support to an optional dependency. There is no need to install it for institutions relying on a WireGuard VPN.

Small hint for anyone with the Python-upgrade-issue (3.12 to 3.13): If you cleanBuild (not sure how it is called in different AUR tools, I'm using yay) the package and also install python-eduvpn_common with cleanBuild it will work.

I'll post the output for @jaap, since I have the same issue ;-) 

❯ find /usr/lib -maxdepth 3 -type d -path '/usr/lib/python3.*/site-packages/eduvpn*'
/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/eduvpn_common
/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/eduvpn_common-2.1.0.dist-info
/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/eduvpn
/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/eduvpn_client-4.4.0.dist-info```

Seems indeed some issue with the versions.

I've already tried to reinstall python-eduvpn-client and also explicitly install python-eduvpn_common. And also to uninstall both packages completely and then do a reinstall - still ends up in 3.12 and 3.13. So something with the PKGBUILD for the common package?

hv15 commented on 2024-12-27 11:43 (UTC)

hi @jaap, I think it might be a mismatch in Python versions... could you please post the output of

$ find /usr/lib -maxdepth 3 -type d -path '/usr/lib/python3.*/site-packages/eduvpn*'

It could be that the python-eduvpn_common package is under a different version of Python, and not version 3.13.

gothicVI commented on 2024-12-26 23:16 (UTC)

@jaap do you have https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-eduvpn_common installed?

jaap commented on 2024-12-26 15:10 (UTC)

I am getting this after updating: I tried to uninstall and reinstall but that didn't resolve the issue, so I think it is a packaging issue

Traceback (most recent call last):

They moved the repository from github to https://codeberg.org/eduVPN/linux-app

Thanks for updating @hv15! Works perfectly now.

hv15 commented on 2024-10-01 15:31 (UTC)

hi @kareliot, I've updated the PKGBUILD, the .desktop file should be correctly placed. Please rebuild and try it again.
