Same issue here on my build server. Solved by force-rebuilding with the -f flag to makepkg.

I'm familiar with importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for rivalcfg appearing when a package is out of date compared with some other python environment which has been updated and this was another case of that.

This package needs some way to check for that. Trying to rebuild rivalcfg with makepkg claims it doesn't need to because the package has already been built. In my case, that package was built 3 months earlier and while the version was the same, many python-relevant packages had moved on.

I also had the afforementioned metadata issue but I was able to fix by completely removing rivalcfg and reinstalling it via my AUR helper.

Hello, after updating to last version (4.8.0-1) rivalcfg doesn't work anymore.

⋊> ~ rivalcfg

@FLOZz Awesome, thanks!

@tugyan you are now co-maintainer, you should be able to update the package. On my side, I will look for a solution to automate this :)

@FLOZz You can put me as a maintainer. I can take care of the updates for the time being, until a better solution is found.

@tugyan You are right... I have been put maintainer on this package but I do not have enough time to maintain it... I see two possible solutions:

• Either I find a way to automate its update (with Github Actions?) so it is published automatically or semi-automatically when I release a new version,
• Or I have to find someone to take care of it

@FLOZz Version 4.7.0 is out for 2 months. Any chance the package gets updated?

Oops I forget to save the file after updating the checksum... Is it better now?

it does not pass the validity check for me
