can't find file to patch at input line 5

Sorry for the inactivity, I have been very busy lately. Everything mentioned is now addressed.

Upstream documentation mentions a GUI:

python mtk_gui

Can you please install an executable /usr/bin/mtk_gui which launches the GUI?

Regards and
thanks for the package!

This PKGBUILD installs /usr/README.md and /usr/LICENSE.

Those files must not be installed into /usr/.

Instead, please install into

• /usr/share/doc/mtkclient/README.md and
• /usr/share/licenses/mtkclient-git/LICENSE.

Thanks for maintaining!

I have made a bunch of updates, fixes and patches, probably too many to list here.

So, I have a copy here: https://gitlab.com/skaendo/pkgbuild/-/tree/main/mtkclient-git

Hello, the license is GPL3, GPL is GPL2 in Arch packaging, see Licenses package

@taotieren why asking to the user to apply the rules himself? Can't it be done through the installation of the package? @erikeah Why don't you add to the patch the work of @taotieren

I just ended up cloning manually the repo, not understanding at all how to make a package

Is there a simple command to directly apply yours diffs and, like, correct the installation?

For now I do paru -S mtkclient-git, I don't know any other commands
