As both the packager and upstream author I'd like to encourage all users to activate "git source verification" if not already done. Please see comment in the PKGBUILD file. The recent supply chain issues highlight the importance of validating source code.

All git tags are signed and going forward, every commit will also be signed.

The public signing key is available in a few places, but I recommend getting it either via WKD or directly from the website of the key's email domain. These are sound ways to do this. For additional information please see:

To get the key via WKD:

gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-external-keys arch@sapience.com

Issue was on my end I -- ignore my previous comment.

@cvelteren Do you have python-hatch installed (per makedepends in PKGBUILD)?

It in turn depends on python-hatchling, so should work fine as long as you have python hatch.

Note on getting the git signing public key. Any of the following:

1) Get fresh copy of the package (on this page Package Actions Download Snapshot) Unpack tar file and the key will be in keys/pgp:

gpg --import < keys/pgp/*.asc

2) Available on github (same account as the package source): https://github.com/gene-git/blog/tree/master/git-keys

3) From authors website : https://www.sapience.com/tech

4) via WKD curl $(gpg-wks-client --print-wkd-url arch@sapience.com) | gpg --import

Thats terrific - thank you for taking the extra time to check everything. Very much appreciated.

Just to confirm, I removed python-notify and wg-client and then all the dependencies, including python-installer and then removed the build directories.

I then did a fresh aur build for python-inotify and wg-client and I can confirm that everything is built as would be expected and wg-client and gui are both working.
