Upstream build changed quite a bit so it wasn't a simple version bump, should be working again now as of 2.5.9

Hi @nathanchere,

Upstream has migrated to a PEP-517 backend and to a mixed Python/Rust code base, so this PKGBUILD no longer works as is.

Suggested patch for the PKGBUILD: https://salsa.debian.org/-/snippets/763

You can apply the patch to the PKGBUILD like so:

curl -LO https://salsa.debian.org/-/snippets/763/raw/main/python-pyxel-2.2.8-PKGBUILD.patch
less python-pyxel-2.2.8-PKGBUILD.patch
patch -p1 < python-pyxel-2.2.8-PKGBUILD.patch

Regards
Claudia

@dlezo I know, I realized this a few days ago. It's only used for the packager, but pkg_resources.load_entry_point checks all dependencies when a console script is executed.

I'm now patching setup.py so that pyinstaller is only checked for pyxelpackager. pyinstaller is now an optional dependency.

I'll raise the issue upstream.

I just realized that pyinstaller is also needed. Without it pyxeleditor crashes on launch.

Great. Thank you for your work!

@dlezo I have added sdl2_image (not the multilib version) as a dependency. Building works in a new x86_64 Arch installation.

I think python-pyxel 1.1.8-1 is missing this dependency: lib32-sdl2_image
