Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.

Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.

warning: cannot resolve "ttf", a dependency of "backintime" It works when I remove "ttf" as a dependency.

willemw commented on 2015-01-17 12:57 (UTC)

The 'depends' and 'conflicts' lists are lists of "provide" names, not package names. Each package implicitly provides 'pkgname'. If correctly defined in *.bzr packages: - depends=(name of the non-devel default provide name) - conflicts=(name of the non-devel default provide name) then your point 2) will not occur, because the package manager will see a package conflict between, for example, 'backintime' and 'backintime-bzr'.

OK.. 1) removed python from deps since python-keyring pulls it. 2) are you sure that your brz packages don't try to overwrite key files this pkg provides?

willemw commented on 2015-01-17 12:42 (UTC)

'python2-keyring' and 'python2-secretstorage' already pull in 'python2'. All the *-bzr packages here already 'provide' and 'conflict' the non-bzr package names. A normal package should usually not know about the related devel package. For another thread maybe: I have now a problem with the new backintime-bzr (QT4) / backintime-cli-bzr: cannot use version numbers in 'depends' as you do, because they are *-bzr packages, so when upgrading backintime-bzr (qt4), there is no message that says to also upgrade backintime-cli-bzr, in case that is installed. Note: backintime-cli maybe be installed instead of backintime-cli-bzr. Actually, I tried 'depends=("backintime-cli-bzr=$pkgver" ...) in 'backintime-bzr' and it seems to work, but I am not sure it is allowed (in the AUR).

@wllemw - Yes, trying to see how to allow the PKGBUILD to show a set of packages has optdeps... might need to open a forum thread. Also, why is python not needed as a dep and why shouldn't I conflict with the vcs packages?

willemw commented on 2015-01-17 08:24 (UTC)

Some feedback on the PKGBUILD file itself (hope you don't mind): the dependencies in the PKGBUILD file are are not equivalent to the dependencies in the backintime README file, however maybe you are still working on that. Also, you should not have to specify 'python' and the '*-bzr' packages.

OK gang! Germar has released version 1.1.0 which a qt4 gui. I have a draft PKGBUILD that I would like you guys to test out. The conflicts/replaces and deps give me working packages on my system running xfce4 and on another system running lxde. I would like to hear some feedback before I push it to the AUR. https://gist.github.com/graysky2/4ffb10c81801960518bf

@gatonero That worked. Thank you very much.

@huw See the link to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1360283#p1360283 ! 1) Download the tarball 2) Extract it 3) cd into it 4) makepkg -src 5) Manually install the needed packages using pacman -U ... for example: sudo pacman -U backintime-1.0.34-4-any.pkg.tar.xz sudo pacman -U backintime-gtk-1.0.34-4-any.pkg.tar.xz
