yes it seems to be fine (my build box was a little out of date - I had 1:69.0.3-4). Thanks for maintaining this package,

@starfry: Minor update, just correcting the license string, with no further changes right now: the package builds fine for me and passes vpn-slice --self-test. Do you have python-setuptools (make dependency) installed? Note that I don't have a reasonable way to test in practice, as my use case is gone. If there are remaining issues, I'd be happy to abandon the package and let an actual user take over.

I had to make a change to get it to install properly since recent Python updates because setup.py doesn't work for system packages any more.

In build, use python -m build --wheel --no-isolation

In package, use python -m installer --destdir="$pkgdir" dist/*.whl

@pidario: No worries, fully understood - didn't get you wrong here. I just realized that also the maintainer can unflag (not that surprising, really), and that I could have done it earlier when looking at the notification. Not sure if the original reporter can even do it. Anyway, case solved. :-)

@akobel Apologies if I sounded rude. I thought it was the user who (wrongfully) flagged the package that was meant to un-flag it. Anyway, thank you very much for both this and maintaining this package.

@pidario: Sorry, my bad - should have done that before.

@infinitezero: can you please unflag it as out-of-date? It's false: as you can see on PyPI (https://pypi.org/project/vpn-slice/) its last version is 0.16.1 (same as this package), and the git tag was created in December 2021. Besides you flagged it because it was broken (according to you) but, as other user mentioned, you just probably need to do a clean reinstall of the package. Not that I care, but every time I update, yay complains that vpn-slice is out-of-date. Really annoying.

@infinitezero: for me rebuilding the package solved the issue!

Getting the following error. I had to downgrade to python-3.10.10-1-x86_64 to get it to work again.

@TecMunky Glad you got to a working state again by downgrading.

Concerning your issue with 0.14, please refrain from duplicating the information from the Github issue tracker here. There's always a risk that some crucial parts of the discussion are not propagated completely, and any functionality / feature / usability problems need to be addressed and resolved upstream.
