Arch Linux User Repository

currently not using arch any more. Would be nice if someone could adopt the package maintenance.

@XenGi: each entry point command line script imports pkg_resources.

Seems like I never came back to this. You don't have to rename the package. It's completely fine like it is. The Arch guidelines (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_package_guidelines#Package_naming) state that a python library should be named python-pkg and a tool written in python like rshell should be just called pkg without the prefix. Sorry for the confusion.

SpotlightKid: Are you sure about this? I don't see a reason why this would be necessary. Can you point us to some docs that describe that behaviour?

Please move python-setuptools from makedepends into depends.

Every Python package, which installs scripts via setuptools entry points, as rshell does too, needs python-setuptools as a run-time dependency, i.e. in depends, not only at build time (i.e. makedepends).

Renaming packages is actually not that easy...is that name too confusing?

np. You forgot to name the package python-rshell.

Thanks for your tips!

Why do you have python3 in makedepends but python in depends? Just use python for both.

rshell uses a source package so you can just use https:// files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/${_name::1}/$_name/$_name-$pkgver.tar.gz in the PKGBUILDs source array.

See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_package_guidelines

This would be my recommended PKGBUILD:

You forgot the python-udev dependency. It breaks when trying to open
