Arch Linux User Repository

After digging into this situation... upstream seems dead. it might be best to work together with this package. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-m2r2. Using this package to forward out the old m2r interface from m2r2 is pretty simple to do and m2r2 is maintained.

sed -i '/python-mistune1/s/1//g' /var/lib/pacman/local/python-m2r2*/desc

If you want to escape the hell that freeze whole pacman :: removing python-mistune1 breaks dependency 'python-mistune1' required by python-m2r2

Since this package installes the /usr/bin/m2r executable, can you add

provides=("m2r=${pkgver}") and
conflicts=('m2r'),

please?

Thanks for maintaining!

I am having problems with this package. This pull request has a bunch of listed issues. https://github.com/miyakogi/m2r/pull/67

You're right; this doesn't actually provide m2r. I'll just remove that line.

This should not provide python-m2r since it’s installed under a different name, and won’t make import m2r work.

Mind you, an additional package that just reexports all of m2r2 as m2r is handy. I wrote this (but won’t publish it now since it depends on the removal of the incorrect provides line in this package, and will need to be updated along with python-m2r2, though I didn’t put an exact version dependency, for better or for worse; feel free to publish it yourself when you fix this, that way it’s maintained by one person):

pkgname=python-m2r-via-m2r2
pkgver=0.3.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="m2r compatibility, backed by m2r2"
arch=(any)
depends=(python-m2r2)
provides=(python-m2r)
conflicts=(python-m2r)

package() {
    local _site="$pkgdir$(python -c 'import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])')"
    mkdir -p "$_site"
    ln -s m2r2.py "$_site/m2r.py"
    ln -s m2r2-$pkgver.dist-info "$_site/m2r-$pkgver.dist-info"
}

Couldn't reproduce in a clean chroot. What does your Python setup look like?
