Arch Linux User Repository

From the error, you need python-pip installed. Edit: possibly other python related things, but we'll see..

I'll add to the depends.

Hey, I am getting a build error for this package: https://gist.github.com/christian-heusel/3de0849cf7cd0bc7d2730603864f7396

so do I

RuntimeError: Gtk couldn't be initialized. Use Gtk.init_check() if you want to handle this case.

Wonder what package I am missing.

It looks like the upstream git repository may have been retagged or something, and the pkgver() function's removal of "screenkey-" from the beginning of the version should now be removing "v" instead. Please fix, since the pkgver has just gone and downgraded again.

Ah, that wasn't working before, but now it is, without even a clean build. Anyway! Changed pushed, thanks tinywrkb n eli.

@milk you have a line commented out in the build() function. It works perfectly fine for me after removing the hashtag.

Working on a new PKGBUILD, got this so far but getting a build error during package().

Yeah no. @erikdubois, your "new numbering system" is actually downright spam, you changed something that worked into something that did not work and did not add anything of value whatsoever.

A quick update to the PKGBUILD. Built package tested in a clean chroot with X11 forwarding.
edit: Considering this is a python app, the gtk3 and libxtst depends can be moved down to the package() function. But except meta-packages, this is not a common practice so I chose not doing that.
