@bred Yes, pkgconf needs to be installed before building this package, as well as make, gcc (for a C compiler)... All these packages are in group base-devel, which is always required for AUR packages.

@IooNag

It seems that the package "pkgconf" is a mandatory dependency for building "libselinux".

After the installation of "pkgconf" it has compiled correctly.

@bred : What version of package pcre have you installed? What is the output of "pkg-config --libs libpcre" (this is the command which is used to normally insert "-lpcre" in the command line that failed)?

I've this error during the linking: (pcre is installed!)

@IooNag:

You are of course still free to work on package libselinux-python2 and backport bug fixes that could happen in libselinux's Python bindings.

I am not that interested, too. I just needed an easy-to-use tool and someone adviced system-config-users. It seemed natural to me to package it, even if arch is slowly deprecating all python2-* packages.

If someone will ever want to use it in the future (for whatever reason) now can do it easily (because PKGBUILDs won't be lost even when SELinux will end support).

I did this for screem, too.

IooNag commented on 2020-02-12 21:00 (UTC)

@tallero: it seems that system-config-users could be installed on RHEL/CentOS 7, but not on CentOS 8 according to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/547437/centos-8-system-config-users. Moreover this question suggests using Cockpit instead, which has already been packaged for Arch Linux (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/cockpit/).

Anyway, if you want to fork/adopt system-config-users and maintain it on https://gitlab.com/tallero/system-config-users, that's nice. Nevertheless I do not want to maintain a libselinux-python2-v3.0 package because this version is not supported upstream (by SELinux developers) and the future releases of libselinux are likely to break Python 2 compatibility. This is a matter of personal choices in the way I define how I spend my time. You are of course still free to work on package libselinux-python2 and backport bug fixes that could happen in libselinux's Python bindings.

@IooNag: I agree with you. In any case libselinux-python2 packages just bindings and until the tool has not been replaced/ported to pygobject (if ever) it could simply stabilize on 3.0. This was packaged because of this question. Can't find the original git repo, only tarballs, check this.

tallero : is system-config-users maintained? The upstream of this project (Red Hat) seems to no longer maintain it (and the RPM seems not to exist for "recent" releases such as CentOS 8 or Fedora 31 on https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=system-config-users).

If system-config-users is no longer maintained upstream, I do not want to spend time to support libselinux-python2, for the sake of using old software for which bugs will never be fixed upstream.
