PSA: I've started hosting this as a prebuilt package in my repository for those that want to install it using pacman without messing around with building from the AUR.

@mmtung Yes, my version of the package seems to have been posted after this one. I'm not sure why I didn't find this earlier, possible I was just looking for the wrong name.

That being being said this package is miss-named on at least one, maybe two counts:

  1. It is not packaging the released version, but instead tracking the git HEAD version of the master branch. At the very least it should be named *-git to reflect that.

  2. According to the Arch packaging guidelines as I understand them language specific add-ons like this should be prefixed with the interpreter. Note there is currently a pretty broad mix of pandoc filters using python-<name>, pandoc-<name>, python-pandoc-<name>, pandoc-filter-<name>, etc. I'm not sure I see a precedent. Even the [community] packages are mix and match!

This package should get moved to python-panflute-git (or maybe pandoc-panflute-git if I'm wrong about that second point).

The package I posted does package the release version and is more widely adopted and so should stay (possibly again being renamed into this package's place if I'm wrong about point 2).

Hi Caleb: indeed, python-panflute (first released 2019-03-01) appears to be a duplicate of pandoc-panflute (first released 2018-08-16).

Thanks, the format of version.py changed in order to automatically extract the current release/version. Just updated...

Thanks for the update, but you forgot to define the variable $_name (to e.g. $_pipname). build() now fails on line 24 because $_name is undefined.

Duplicate, and also fails in pkgver():

==> Starting pkgver()...
==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphensor whitespace.
==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: """
Panflute version
"""

Possible duplicate with python-panflute?

alerque commented on 2019-12-02 11:18 (UTC)

@golinski Done.

alerque commented on 2019-12-02 10:41 (UTC)

@golinski Yes I will look into that packaging method as I would prefer it myself. If anybody wants to contribute that change I'd be happy to see code too ;-)

I was a user of the pandoc-panflute package, by accident I have stumbled on this one. I have just one remark: the Arch guidelines suggest to use distutils/setuptools instead of pip for installation. I have many python-* packages installed (including several from AUR), none of them use pip. I can see that some python packages in community use pip, but still a marginal amount. Would it be possible to convert this package to use the suggested way?

By the way, python-future is not used in any way (this is only for python2), so this dependency can be dropped.
