Please include the systemd unit target.service in the package. Also add the creation of the directory /etc/target. Without it, target.service crashes with an error.

While we wait for @fuhry to update, here's an updated PKGBUILD for 2.2.3 (which fixes restoreconfig in targetcli):

2.2.3 was released. Can we get this updated?

The last commit (2025-02-05 11:50:42 -0500, dc7d72fffd7c) removed the systemd service. Was this intentional ?

Please don't use pip to install. python-installer should be used instead.

@bobpaul Thanks, I switched back to 2.1.76 and everything is working.

@realmatrix23 It looks like that's an upstream bug. I was able to reproduce it by using pip install in a venv. It looks like they changed how they're building the package still working out the kinks. The last one that fully provides the rtslib_fb module name is version 2.1.76.

get the following error:

sudo targetcli status

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/targetcli", line 5, in <module> from targetcli.targetcli_shell import main File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/targetcli/targetcli_shell.py", line 33, in <module> from targetcli.ui_root import UIRoot File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/targetcli/ui_root.py", line 31, in <module> from rtslib_fb.utils import ignored ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rtslib_fb.utils'; 'rtslib_fb' is not a package

I'm trying to follow the archlinux wiki article on iscsi target, and it says this package includes target.service. I do see upstream provides that. Is there a reason it's no longer included?

Needs git in makedepends.
