Changing what this package provides could break other packages. Other packages have a dependency on sip but it's not quite clear which depend on sip4 or regular sip.

This package should not be labled as providing and conflicting with sip. sip provides totally different tool sets, like sip-build, sip-install. sip4 provides a single tool called sip. sip is installed to /usr/lib/python*/site-packges/sip-build while sip4 is installed to /usr/lib/python*/site-packages/{sipconfig.py, sip.so, sipdistutils.py, sip.pyi}. They don't conflict each other at all.

Here is the candidate fix: https://github.com/daizhirui/sip4.git

Is it possible that "configure.py" should be called with the option "-v /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages" (see https://docs.huihoo.com/pyqt/sip4/installation.html)? By default the script configures the directory "default_sip_dir" to "/usr/share/sip" in "sipconfig.py". But in arch we install the sip-package "PyQt5" to "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages". This leads to a compilation error in ROS2 packages when trying to find the PyQt5 installation with the "default_sip_dir" variable....

It should be noticed that sip-build is only in sip but not in this package, I don't know if there exists bugs.

IMO this shouldn't provide sip at all, sip4 and current sip 6.x (sip 5 never published seems) aren't interchangeable, even adding =${pkgver} a pkgbuild like calibre-git will not complain about the dependency then fails the builds because they are different (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sipbuild')

Can you add =${pkgver} to the provides entries?

This would allow packages that need sip>=6 or sip<5 to specify and match their versioned dependencies correctly.

Thanks for maintaining!

I encountered a problem when using this package, mainly that there is no sip-build command provided by this package in the terminal.

I'm not so familiar with the package sip but I know that sip-build is provided by the extra/sip package. Can anyone tell me how should I get sip-build from this package? Thanks!
