Updated to 4.2.1.

This is a major upstream release: the app has been rewritten for GTK4/libadwaita and the UI is a big step up from 3.0, much cleaner and nicer to use.

Packaging changes: - Now built with Meson instead of installing files by hand - New dependencies: gtk4, libadwaita, gtksourceview5, libsecret - Dropped dependencies: gtk3, gtksourceview4, python-keyring, python-rich - Credentials for remote hosts are now stored via libsecret, so a Secret Service provider (e.g. gnome-keyring or KWallet) is an optional dependency - Desktop file, metainfo and GSettings schema are validated in check()

Please report any packaging issues here.

@ankabo: Thanks for making the changes. However, anyone with the package already installed will not see them until you bump the pkgrel. ;)

EDIT: You also forgot to remove the desktop and icon from the repo here.

Many things wrong with this package:

  • The architecture is 'any' as it's a Python script and there are no ELF files (compiled binaries).
  • Use the upstream description, do not invent one
  • Use an SPDX license identifier. See PKGBUILD: license
  • The dependencies are mostly wrong. It uses gtk3, not libadwaita / gtk4. It's clearly stated in the README. Whilst the README mentions a dependency on Yaml, there is no import. If it did, the package name is python-yaml. There's also a missing dependency on gtksourceview4.
  • Do not upload the desktop file and icon, they're both in the repo.
  • There are tagged releases, use the release tarball or git tag.
