Arch Linux User Repository

Please move away from calling setup.py directly and instead use python -m build and python -m installer (together with the appropriate makedepends), as documented in the Arch Linux wiki for python packages:

==> Starting package()...
running install
/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils/cmd.py:66: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setup.py install is deprecated.
!!

        ********************************************************************************
        Please avoid running ``setup.py`` directly.
        Instead, use pypa/build, pypa/installer or other
        standards-based tools.

        See https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html for details.

AUR Metadata still wrong.

Please update .SRCINFO and re-upload.

Something is wrong with the metadata of this package:

• Here in the AUR, $pkgrel is 2,
• in the PKGBUILD, $pkgrel is 3.

Maybe you forgot to update .SRCINFO?

Please fix!,
thanks for maintaining,
regards.

@dreick I'll Fix this when I'm home
