@HaaTa: I added you. If the beta fixes things you can just update the package to that version.

I guess I could maintain the package (as I need it for some work related things). Though I'm not sure how often the package will change as Ubuntu currently uses the beta in their stable release. Also, I'm not sure I can guarantee the python2 package will be working as I won't be using it.

In case we have to run beta in order to work with recent apt: anybody willing to maintain this then? With me the package would be constantly out of date I guess.

hm, possibly a problem with an apt version that is "too new" (I am running 1.0.9.5 ATM). I might have time to check this with updated apt later today.

I'm getting compiler errors with 0.9.3.12. The beta doesn't have these issues. ython/apt_pkgmodule.h:193:34: error: 'indexRecords' was not declared in this scope PyObject* PyIndexRecords_FromCpp(indexRecords* const &obj, bool Delete, PyObject *Owner); ^ python/apt_pkgmodule.h:193:48: error: expected primary-expression before 'const' PyObject* PyIndexRecords_FromCpp(indexRecords* const &obj, bool Delete, PyObject *Owner); ^ python/apt_pkgmodule.h:193:60: error: expected primary-expression before 'bool' PyObject* PyIndexRecords_FromCpp(indexRecords* const &obj, bool Delete, PyObject *Owner); ^ python/apt_pkgmodule.h:193:82: error: expected primary-expression before '*' token PyObject* PyIndexRecords_FromCpp(indexRecords* const &obj, bool Delete, PyObject *Owner); ^ python/apt_pkgmodule.h:193:83: error: 'Owner' was not declared in this scope PyObject* PyIndexRecords_FromCpp(indexRecords* const &obj, bool Delete, PyObject *Owner); ^ python/apt_pkgmodule.h:193:88: error: expression list treated as compound expression in initializer [-fpermissive] PyObject* PyIndexRecords_FromCpp(indexRecords* const &obj, bool Delete, PyObject *Owner); ^ In file included from python/apt_pkgmodule.h:211:0, from python/acquire.cc:26: python/python-apt.h:111:37: error: expected ';' at end of member declaration PyObject* (*indexrecords_fromcpp)(indexRecords* const &obj, bool Delete, PyObject *Owner); ^ python/python-apt.h:111:51: error: expected ')' before '*' token PyObject* (*indexrecords_fromcpp)(indexRecords* const &obj, bool Delete, PyObject *Owner); ^ python/python-apt.h:112:5: error: 'indexRecords' does not name a type indexRecords*& (*indexrecords_tocpp)(PyObject *self);

Thanks, I use the 0.9.3.12 from jessie. The beta version is in preparation for stretch and will change rapidly (and possibly break).

Versioning seems to have changed. 0.9.3.12 seems to be the latest stable version.

I prepared a split package for the Python 2 and 3 version. Before I can upload there will be a short time between the merge of python2-apt into python-apt and me uploading the split package to AUR. You can get the split package build here already: https://github.com/JonnyJD/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/_debian/python-apt/PKGBUILD

Or rather, I only updated the python 3 version..

Oh, I updated the package a week ago in the repository, but forgot to upload it to AUR :-/
