I was looking for a libtorrent 2.X series, and stumbled upon this. I got it working for my needs, but here are a few suggestions.

  1. It seems your pkgver sed is slightly broken.
 pkgver() {
     cd libtorrent-rasterbar
-    git describe --long --tags | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g;s/_/./g;s/^libtorrent\.//'
+    git describe --long --tags | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g;s/_/./g;s/^libtorrent=//'
 }
  1. You are defaulting to HEAD of the remote git server, which can be almost anything. In the case of GitHub, they do enforce it to be the default branch. But libtorrent has the default branch as RC1_2, which means you won't actually get the latest. If you wanted to be on the edge.
-source=('libtorrent-rasterbar'::'git+https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent.git'
+source=('libtorrent-rasterbar'::'git+https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent.git#branch=master'
  1. It's currently building with at most 1 core. You can significantly speedup the build by defaulting to the number of cores in the machine.
-    make -C "build-py${_pyver%%.*}"
+    make -j$(nproc) -C "build-py${_pyver%%.*}"
  1. This is just a personal preference, but may be time to remove python2 support. Or at least move it to another package. Building this package forces you to install the deprecated python2.

@EndlessEden Package updated. Building fine now.

wont build, complains about missing boost-python3 conf.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "boost_python3" (requested version 1.71.0) with any of the following names:

boost_python3Config.cmake
boost_python3-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "boost_python3" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "boost_python3_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "boost_python3" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/lib64/cmake/Boost-1.71.0/BoostConfig.cmake:182 (boost_find_component) /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:443 (find_package) bindings/python/CMakeLists.txt:56 (find_package)

@mrturcot Thank you for pointing this. Upstream removed autotools support and now uses cmake. Package is now updated.
