Arch Linux User Repository

@soh, some random person requesting something completely wrong doesn't mean you should do it. provides is for drop-in replacements, this is not.

Edit: Especially when an AUR moderator told you months ago you were wrong. Seriously. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python310#comment-969868

@wleivam @EndlessEden @NikolayHD Thanks for the advice, I will have a look at these issues and make some changes accordingly.

@Namarrgon Please adapt the PKGBUILD to your own need. As we see in a comment under python312, someone is asking for adding "provides=python".

Please remove that "provides=python". It's technically wrong, it is misleading and only causes confusion. This PKGBUILD never was and never will be a drop-in replacement for whatever "extra/python" is. There is absolutely no positive effect for it being there either, it contributes no value.

Hi! Please, is it possible update the package version to 3.11.10 (https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-31110/).

And, is it possible change the "bluez-libs" to "boost-libs" in the "makedepends" list?, because in a server mode environment this can open unexplored backdoors, but maybe I'm wrong.

Finally, the 3.10 version has the flag "--enable-optimizations" and this not, in the "configure" process.

@soh -- while i know you dont have this PKGBUILD flagged for non-x86 architectures.

I wanted to point out there is a bug when building this on arm. the pkgbuild tries to sed a sub-architecture specific "/python311/pkg/python311/usr/lib/python3.11/config-3.11-armv7h-linux-gnu" which doesnt exist, instead of "python311/pkg/python311/usr/lib/python3.11/config-3.11-arm-linux-gnueabihf" which is global to all versions of arm.

you can fix this with simply replacing the single line with # Clean-up reference to build directory if [ $(echo ${CARCH} | grep -c "arm") -gt 0 ]; then sed -i "s|$srcdir/Python-${pkgver}:||" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/python${_pybasever}/config-${_pybasever}-arm-linux-gnueabihf/Makefile" else sed -i "s|$srcdir/Python-${pkgver}:||" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/python${_pybasever}/config-${_pybasever}-${CARCH}-linux-gnu/Makefile" fi

(also i am terrible with markup so i dont remember how to put that in proper multiline like NikolayHD's comment)

Hi, in python-quick-build-git the commit 08d5923 2023-05-24 gh-104773: PEP 594: Remove cgi and cgitb modules removes Lib/cgi.py

Which makes the build of this package fail with

==> Extracting sources...
  -> Creating working copy of cpython-git git repo...
Cloning into 'cpython-git'...
done.
Switched to a new branch 'makepkg'
==> Starting prepare()...
sed: can't read Lib/cgi.py: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...

Should we remove

28:  # FS#23997
29:  sed -i -e "s|^#.* /usr/local/bin/python|#!/usr/bin/python|" Lib/cgi.py

from PKGBUILD ?

Great package. Useful for Odoo 17 that does not support Python 3.12.

@soh, please remove provides=python. It allows the user to install this package and uninstall Arch/core/python, breaking all python- packages and everything that relies on anything on /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages.

The Arch packaging system does not support package provides to the effect of provides=(python=3.11) AND NOT provides=(python=3.12), only provides=(python=3.11) AND provides=(python).

This realization was behind the AURweb change that removed its earlier ability of showing versioned dependencies on the web interface.

I've updated with PKGBUILD with ./configure ax_cv_c_float_words_bigendian=no.
