why?

Someone had a problem with another package related to replaces. I'm sending this request to packages that could potentially have a similar issue.

If someone has clamav-unofficial-sigs installed in their system and tries to install python-fangfrisch...

That scenario is handled by conflicts.

Is there any change in Arch guidelines about replaces?

AUR submission guidelines state: Do not use replaces in an AUR PKGBUILD unless the package is to be renamed...

Since this is not a rename scenario, the guidelines clearly state not to use replaces.

@xiota ... why?

clamav-unofficial-sigs package still exists in AUR. If someone has clamav-unofficial-sigs installed in their system and tries to install python-fangfrisch, it is supposed to replace clamav-unofficial-sigs.

Is there any change in Arch guidelines about replaces?

Please remove replaces directive. Thank you.

Just reporting that installing 1.6.1 still fails for me:

FAIL: test_missing_checksum (test_refresh.RefreshTests.test_missing_checksum)

I have python-sqlalchemy 1.4.44 installed.

Edit: I re-ran the installation and it completed, not sure why.

@amish: I just released Fangfrisch 1.6.1, which now lists SQLAlchemy >= 1.4.0 as a requirement. There are no other changes relative to version 1.6.0.

As a side note, I suggest you consider changing the timer to invoke Fangfrisch every 5-10 minutes instead of hourly. Fangfrisch tracks when files were last downloaded for each data source, so it won't cause undue traffic. The current "hourly" setting in the timer file prevents sources to be contacted more frequently even if the user configures something like "every 15 minutes" in fangfrisch.conf, which can cause confusion, because this Arch Linux specific limitation is undocumented.

@Morbius - Ah! Ok. Fair enough :)

@amish: The current version of SQLAlchemy is 2.0.4, with 1.4.0 released in March 2021. I was unaware that any distribution still bundled version 1.3, which is to my knowledge no longer being maintained by the SQLAlchemy developers. Still, I realise that I forgot to modify setup.py to list 1.4 as a minimal requirement, and I shall fix that later today. Sorry, I should have thought of that.
