If possible, please remove the dependency on python-furure/ make the package working without python-future:

WARNING: python-future package is not compatible with Python 3.13

The python-future project was created in 2013 to attempt to save Python from the schism of version incompatibility that was threatening to tear apart the language (as Perl 6 contributed to the death of Perl).

That time is now past. Thanks to a huge porting effort across the Python community, Python 3 eventually thrived. Python 2 reached its end of life in 2020 and the python-future package should no longer be necessary. Use it to help with porting legacy code to Python 3 but don’t depend on it for new code.

If you use packages that depend on it, please contact maintainers and/or upstream of these packages and try to work out whether this dependency is really needed.

Regards and thanks for this package!

This is a VCS package which can't be outdated.

The issue is not due to packaging: https://github.com/unknown-horizons/unknown-horizons/issues/2960

Edit: Builds again now

Please create the following directory, try again and also report back if that fixes your problem you've might found a bug in their build script:

/home/tepiloxtl/.cache/yay/unknown-horizons-git/src/python/.config

I'm actually a bit confused I'm not running into this error in a clean chroot build. The folder doesn't exist there either.

Edit: Are you sure you're on the latest commit? The line in question got fixed 7 months ago and differs from your quoted error message.

Im unable to build this package right now with error in build:

(This has been run manually after yay failed to build this package too)

Here is a modified PKGBUILD:

package() {

    HOME=. python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir/" --optimize=1 --skip-build
}

The current version (2019.1) doesn't get displayed in the version string because the actual tag is in a separate branch. This is the -git version and builds from the master branch which latest tag is sadly 2017.2 but it's actually several commits in front of the 2019.1 tag. So this package is not outdated, pbnoxious.

If you know how I can get the latest tag over multiple branches with a matching filter let me know.

As opposed to…? All I'm aware of is UH installing a symlink to that exact launcher under a name that's easier to memorize. If something is expected to be placed elsewhere during setup process I'd assume the best course of action is asking about a change in that process upstream – the package simply trusts those definitions are correct and executes them. But I didn't understand the expected behavior from your comment just yet, so you might have to clarify a bit: What would you like to happen but didn't?

This package does not install the run_uh.py script.

Works without any problems.
