Arch Linux User Repository

check() fails due to trying to cd to a non-existant directory here:

==> Starting build()...
....
-- Build files have been written to: /tmp/python-iminuit/src/iminuit-2.0.0/build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.9
....

==> Starting check()...
/tmp/python-iminuit/PKGBUILD: line 28: cd: /tmp/python-iminuit/src/iminuit-2.0.0/build/lib.linux-x86_64-: No such file or directory

digging in the PKGBUILD, you're defining pyver in the prepare() function, but that gets executed during source fetching, if one executes build using --noextract that'll fail since it's not run.

I'd suggest you to move the variable definition in the global scope and drop the export, so it's always run when makepkg executes; alternatively since it's only used in the check() function, you could just put it there

@op3 Merge succeeded. Thanks for feedback!

Ah, I suspected that this could be a problem. Apparently, it is possible to create a new package with the correct package base, and then a trusted user can merge the old one into the new one. So this is more complicated than I had assumed.

Something else I noticed: The resulting package contains compiled byte code and is therefore not platform independent, so it is better to replace arch=('any') with arch=('i686' 'x86_64') (and possibly other supported platforms).

Thanks for maintaining this package!

@op3 Thanks for reminding. So do you have any idea about how to change the pkgbase without deleting the package?

The pkgbase should be python-iminuit instead of python2-iminuit.
