Nordic is in the process of replacing the nRF Command Line Tools with nRF Util.

nRF Util can be found here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nrfutil

Agreed. are

provides=(...) and conflicts=(...)

are enough to make sure we don't mess up with other python packages?

I don't know should we? Nordic apparently sees pynrfjprog as being part of their "nRF Command Line Tools".

We should have a python-pynrfjprog package for that, right?

I'm thinking about also installing pynrfjprog as it's included in the downloaded archive. Anyone interested?

I can also co-maintain if you want.

Should fix the empty directory issue as well as the new archive structure

Hmm it now creates two empty folders in /opt. Would you consider adding me as a co-maintainer?

@pins thanks for the patch! Applied and it is working again.

The PKGBUILD does not work. It seems like the archives structure was changed significantly in 10.14.0.

I got it working with this patch:
