I have pushed an update on themartiancompany's http ur mirror while we wait for my secondary keys to be unsuspended.

I have pushed an update on themartiancompany's http ur mirror while we wait for my secondary keys to be unsuspended.

I finally got it to work (I mean python2 can actually import the darn library, not just that it compiles without errors)

Install libxml2-2.9 and add --libdir=/usr/lib/libxml2-2.9/libxml2 to _configure_opts in the PKGBUILD.

bidulock's change appears unnecessary, as do the custom cflags and ldflags.

I got this to work with this change:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index 78429a5..9febb7b 100644
--- a/PKGBUILD
+++ b/PKGBUILD

   icu
   ncurses
   "${_py}"

   readline

Doesn't seem to work with the libxml2-2.9 package, throws version error.

It appears there is something wrong with the source URL in the latest PKGBUILD. Build is failing with:

solution: ajouter la ligne rm -rf "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libxml2.pyc"

Note that if you have custom Perl packages installed alongside the official distribution you may get an error like this:

I was able to bypass the error by unsetting $PERL5LIB and and $PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT when upgrading, like this:

env PERL5LIB= PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT= yay --aur -Syu

@tallero Can you check if it is possible to lower the test time of the suite that is executed in the "check" function of PKGBUILD? At this time the installation of the package has taken more than 6 hours and counting

Thxs!

@gameslayer, there is nothing wrong with the W3C XML test suite link on my end. makepkg is able to download and verify all the sources.
