I got an error during install:

 -> error making: solaar-git-exit status 4

I fixed it by installing python-setuptools. Should setuptools be added as a (make) dependency?

Added necessary provides/conflicts. I feel like this should have been vendored in as solaar.hid_parser, because it's kind of weird for solaar to provide an HID parsing library for Python but ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I don't think anything other than Solaar was using it so it's probably fine, and one less dependency to maintain.

The changelog file has been renamed. You need to edit the PKGBUILD and use CHANGELOG.md to fix the package.

@Max-P

In case you haven't seen my report

python-hid-parser-git needs to be fixed to get ride of the endless update 0.0.3 > 0.0.4=0.0.3 > 0.0.4=0.0.3 etc...

the pkgver() method produces a different version 0.0.3 than what you set in PKGBUILD 0.0.4

Nor there is a missing Git tag 0.0.4 at github.com, nor you have to go back to 0.0.3 in the PKGBUILD

@lgm This makes more sense as a separate package, so I've created python-hid-parser-git and added it as a dependency.

It seems to be optional for now, but I imagine this might not be the case forever if this is a recent introduction so I made it a required dependency to ensure full support for features that may depend on it.

solaar now contains a submodule https://github.com/usb-tools/python-hid-parser.git. As per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines#Git_submodules, I think a patch should look as follows:

EDIT: I tested this patch and it works for me

Getting the following error during build as of yesterday:

install: cannot stat 'ChangeLog': No such file or directory 'README.md' -> '/var/tmp/pamac-build-crypt0ninja/solaar-git/pkg/solaar-git/usr/share/doc/solaar-git/README.md' ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(). Aborting...

UPDATE: changing ChangeLog to ChangeLog.md in PKGBUILD resolves the issue.

Latest version needs python-evdev

The name of the changelog file changed from ChangeLog to ChangeLog.md, causing the package build to fail.
