After an upgrade to Python 3.11, you need to rebuild this package (and all Python packages in the AUR).

Yes, caffeine-ng is also broken for me with the same error: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'python3-xlib==0.15' distribution was not found and is required by caffeine-ng On @JethroTux's advice, I found I could edit `/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/caffeine_ng-3.3.6-py3.5.egg-info/requires.txt`, commenting out the following two lines, which makes it work again. ewmh>=0.1.3 python3-xlib==0.15 I'm also not sure if it's the preferred option.

OK. As a workaround I commented out all the lines in "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/caffeine_ng-3.3.6-py3.5.egg-info/requires.txt", this way the program runs smoothly. Is it safe? Cheerz.

Caffeine-ng does not start anymore after python-xlib (0.15rc1-1 -> 0.16-1) upgrade. "pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'python3-xlib==0.15' distribution was not found and is required by caffeine-ng"

Thanks for the quick fix!

Fixed, sorry.

Had to force installtion skipping md5sums coz the file did not pass validity check. Also, had to install python-wheel-0.29.0-1 which was not needed with previous caffeine package. How's that?

Caffeine crashes at startup after the python-ewmh update to 0.1.4-1 and reports that python-ewmh 0.1.3 is required.

I've no idea about the PKGBUILD question. I guess it might be somewhat different, considering this is a pure-python app, and that's a python app with several shells scripts. Whitelisting used to work as it does in caffeine-ng, you add an app to a list, and caffeine won't inhibit the screensaver while it's running.

Apparently you can just run 'caffeinate application' instead of 'application' and caffeine will keep your session live as long as the application is up. I'm not familiar with the earlier whitelist support beyond this. I think I'll try my hand at getting a PKGBUILD setup for it. It shouldn't be too terribly different than your setup right? Thanks for getting back so quickly.

Apparently, upstream was partially rewritten in bash, so there's no real chance of a merge at this point. Both apps have diverged in both features and bugs at this point, and I'm not sure about the minor details, regrettably.
