Arch Linux User Repository

Added option to pkgbuild file to use 'python-crypto' instead of 'python-pycryptodome' and 'python-pycountry' instead of both python iso packages.

Upstream recently replaced python-recommonmark with python-myst-parser, affecting make dependencies for this package. Unrelated to that I am getting a check failure that I can't fully figure out. As the error is about missing package metadata, I guess this is yet another issue with how the tests are invoked. It does not appear to occur when a previous version of streamlink is installed, but since I prefer to build in a container, that is usually not the case. Any ideas on how to fix this one?

streamlink-git does not build at the moment since they switched to versioningit.

Build issue https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/4102

According to the devs, this is caused by the build-script incorrectly invoking the test cases.

--- https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/4102#issuecomment-947029323

The PKGBUILD of the streamlink-git AUR package is not using pytest for running the tests and it is using a deprecated method instead (python setup.py test), which uses a different test runner:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=streamlink-git#n33

Running python setup.py test runs tests via setuptools' test runner, which is unsupported by Streamlink, as it doesn't collect pytest-style tests (or "non-unittest.TestCase" tests). For example, it doesn't run parametrized pytest tests, which Streamlink has a lot of. There is a method for overriding setuptools' test command via pytest-runner, but this is deprecated as well, so it won't be implemented here. The PKGBUILD will need to be updated by its maintainer.

Streamlink requires tests to be run via pytest or python -m pytest, and it should not collect the tests annotated with the @windows_only decorator on non-Windows machines.

@unknown78 Please report failing tests upstream if you can.

just reporting an error in the testsuite -> https://termbin.com/mhrk ... i guess mscvcrt is not available on linux is a suitable assumption ;)

@OxHaK @metak I have the same build problem. Haven't been able to track down the issue yet. Using --nocheck, of course, bypasses the issue.

@OxHaK Builds fine for me, try skipping the tests. makepkg --nocheck

Can't compile, any idea ?

Enjoy your indefinite suspension.

@metak, please do your research. There is proof that this package is out of date, and I can prove in detail that what I know is correct and honest. Don't pay attention to people on here that can't back up their facts. Just check out the streamlink website and you will see that I am indeed correct.

@eschwartz Do what you want with my account, you know I am right if you were smart enough and had the proof that this package wasn't out of date, I have everything to prove this package is out of date. If you delete, suspend or ban me from this site you only prove my point and that will not stop me from coming back. I am and will forever be smarter than you so as long as I am the one backing up my statements and comments.

@eschwartz Threating to suspend my account only proves my point. Ignorant twit. Do your research.

@eschwartz wow congrats on your lack of research. I bet you don't even use streamlink-twitch-gui do you. This version of streamlink 1.7 does not work with streamlink-twitch-gui twit. And if you looked at the streamlink website you would know for a fact that there is a newer version of streamlink. Do your research before commenting on other people's comments when that person has all the facts and knowledge. Stop being stupid.

@techandy1,

Speaking with my Trusted User hat on, I can authoritatively state that this -git package is NOT out of date, per the rules of the AUR as well as the big fat note at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Flagging_packages_out-of-date

For precisely the reason you've been told, but refuse to accept. I have nothing new to add to this conversation EXCEPT my authority as a moderator on this site telling you you are wrong.

Now, one more insult and I suspend your account.

As you've previously DELETED your account, then recreated one with the same name in order to keep arguing, I can go a lot further than suspending your account if you try to play the sockpuppet game.

@SpotlightKid, really the PKGBUILD doesn't need to be updated. Please tell me you aren't this stupid in real life. If the PKGBUILD file didn't need to be updated then why is the current version here 1.7 when streamlink's website states the latest version is 2.0. WAKE UP... If the PKGBUILD didn't need to be updated then the version would be 2.0. Airhead.

@techandy1: We already explained to you why the PKGBUILD does not need to be updated. If you haven't read these comments, please do so. And if you still don't understand, please read up on the Arch wiki what VCS packages are and why their version number listed here is irrelevant. Please stop posting comments here about the package being outdated, because it is not. If you insist it is, you are only making a fool of yourself.

Why is this package still out of date, all you have to do is change the version number to 2.0.0 which is the current version if you look at the streamlink website.

@metak please update this package the current version is 2.0.0, if you actually take the time to look at streamlink's website. Also this current package doesn't work with streamlink-twitch-gui. Fix it, please. You are the maintainer of this package, so you should fix it and keep it up to date at all times.

@Spotlightkid, I have this package installed but because Streamlink-twitch-gui updated this package needs to be updated as well. I bet you don't use streamlink-twitch-gui. It states that the current version from streamlink that is installed is outdated. Again learn to pay attention.

@SpotlightKid

Thank you for chiming in.

@techandy1

The -git packages are only outdated when the build process changes, new dependency is added/removed, etc. The pkgbuild file will always fetch the latest master commit when you build the package.

@techandy1: This is a VCS package, thatswhy it has a -git suffix. VCS are not outdated just because there is a newer upstream version. Their version updates via their pkgver() function when you build them. Do not flag VCS packages as outdated, unless they (i.e. their PKGBUILD) need to be changed because of upstream changes.

@spotlightkid, what in the world does your comment have to do with mine. My comment is about this package being outdated. If you are going to post some links, please clarify why. The link I posted is to state and show that this package is outdated. I am also not the maintainer for this package.

@techandy1: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#What_is_the_difference_between_foo_and_foo-git_packages?

New version is 2.0.0. You can check it here. https://streamlink.github.io/

@metak Thank, i did not know that - or wether it was needed for the package to install correctly. Now i know :)

@torstenchr Hi. That is normal for -git packages, since they need to be updated only when the build process changes, otherwise it's your responsibility to rebuild them and they'll automatically fetch the latest commit.

The package version seem to out of sync with the upstream version, which as of today is 1.4.1

There's a PR with a fix for the YouTube issue. Until it is merged, you use this patch for the PKGBUILD:

Can't get YouTube to download.
It says "error: No playable streams found on this URL: "

python-recommonmark has to be added as make dependency: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/pull/1667

@ metak I could'nt get it to build, i just used pip/virtualenv for now. thanks.

@cirrus Builds fine on my end and in clean chroot. Have you tried building it in clean chroot?

I'm Getting build failures with latest pkg bro https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9083368 any pointers appreciated.

@ioangogo Why? That's the default upstream choice and it can be subtituted with pycrypto (my pinned comment). If you don't want to use it just change the _use_pycrypto="no" to "yes" in PKGBUILD file. (Some manual intervention might be required because pycryptodome is a drop-in replacement for the PyCrypto.)

Can you remove pycryptodome as a dependency, it does not replace pycrypto in the case of streamlink

Please don't flag package out-of-date for pkgbumps.

Added option to pkgbuild file to use 'python-crypto' instead of 'python-pycryptodome' and 'python-pycountry' instead of both python iso packages.

Ran into the same problem as @tarasis after switching from the AUR version of the package to the one in the community repository – the AUR package python-pycryptodome was still installed instead of python-crypto. Removing the streamlink package including its dependencies and re-installing it solved the problem for me.

@tarasis, streamlink has been moved from aur to main (Community) repository. I'm not sure if there is better way than just reinstall streamlink using pacman.

@terasis There wasn't any change upstream, so you're probably trying to build with old pkgbuild file? Could you try downloading a snapshot and build it manually with 'makepkg -isC'?

Most recent update won't run for me "The 'pycrypto' distribution was not found and is required by streamlink" Previous version had been working fine.

whats with the python-crypto patch? python-pycryptodome works fine in arch linux

Package is broken since this commit: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/commit/93d1670ca7a42b70c709d5f665385f7ea02639ec

@mjevans Can you test it now? Those changes were merged upstream a few hours ago.

depends now include: python-mock When rebuilding from clean it has many import errors since it's trying to import from the system python and can't pass the test. This might be an upstream bug.

Ok all very good thanks-you

How about if you skip the check? 'makepkg -is --nocheck'

Nothing comes out the same error

@kabbalah100 try downloading a snapshot and extract to /tmp dir https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/streamlink-git.tar.gz cd to streamlink-git and execute 'makepkg -is'. It builds without a problem on my end and in clean chroot.
