@lkrms: No idea what's going on with Pipenv here, but upstream uses Meson. Improved PKGBUILD

When I try to build the package as is, using makepkg -s -i I get this:

==> Starting package()...

However, I can fix that with this change:

Has anyone else run into that problem? Should the PKGBUILD maybe be changed to this (seemingly) more modern invocation of pip install?

@ZimbiX

Yep, that works. Thank you.

@FernandoBasso See the comment from @vstuart. But commenting out the import is all that's required now.

Upstream issue: https://github.com/tom-james-watson/Emote/issues/95

I get an error about missing minipango:

  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/emote/__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
    import manimpango
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'manimpango'

Tried rebuilding and reinstalling, but to no avail. Any ideas?

All good and no worries! Pretty funny that the emoji reference CSV got too big.

Thanks for your help

lkrms commented on 2023-06-24 08:46 (UTC)

Hi all, so sorry for taking so long to update this one, and for the problems reported after the previous update. (The patched emoji CSV became too big for the AUR, so I updated the PKGBUILD to patch it on the fly, but it looks like that introduced some encoding/locale-related side-effects for some of you, and I just haven't had time to get into it.)

Meanwhile, upstream changes have hopefully fixed the skin tone issues (I'm yet to test properly), so I've removed all but strictly necessary changes from the PKGBUILD and if any of the issues recur, I'll work towards an upstream patch. Please let me know if anything is broken for you!

ipaqmaster commented on 2023-06-22 11:10 (UTC)

Sure but I don't think that justifies a broken AUR package handling things differently.

Aftermath commented on 2023-06-22 11:07 (UTC)

@ipaqmaster Installing it through Flatpack/flathub is the preferred way by upstream anyways.
