Arch Linux User Repository

The master branch now uses gtk3 and Python 3, since https://gitlab.com/screenkey/screenkey/-/merge_requests/82 was merged. Please update the dependencies.

Are you sure about the replacing? Please verify since the other package doesn't seem to be obsolete and don't need to be replaced immediately.

Maintainer or python-distutils-extra told me that since Python 2 has reached end of life and the package is in the official Arch repos he can't keep support for it, so i created a new AUR package named python2-distutils-extra to fix the broken dependency.

@erikdubois I just wrote an email to the maintainer of python-distutils-extra asking him to add back support for python2, since python2-distutils-extra is currently a broken dependency and this package cannot be installed.

I invite you to look for a solution with me

We started with a new numbering system. So remove this package first. Then make sure you clean install with this new pkgbuild. Yay, trizen and others will not auto-update to this version.

It used to be version 0.9.r42...

Hello bchretien, Unfortunately, the pkgver() output generates a format that confuses AUR helpers, because the SHA1 is directly blending into the version string. E.g., currently, the pkgver variable is set to «0.9.1b9d6c2», while pkgver() generates «0.9.bcd10c5». The version comparation algorithm used by libalpm and AUR helpers will interpret the (older) string as «0.9.1» and lead AUR helpers to believe that screengit-git needs to be rebuilt all the time. Cf. [1] on example pkgver() functions which avoid this problem. Usually, this is solved by the commit-count inside the version string (like «.r39»); the non-digit will then serve to separate the actual version from the VCS metadata. Kind regards, e. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#The_pkgver.28.29_function

You can add ttf-font-awesome as optional dependency. It may be used by screenkey to show media symbols instead of their abbreviations.

@cwright84: this looks like a bug that you should report upstream (https://github.com/wavexx/screenkey).

Hi, I have installed screenkey-git using this package and it builds and installs successfully but when I run it I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/screenkey", line 4, in <module> __import__('pkg_resources').run_script('screenkey==0.4', 'screenkey') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 729, in run_script self.require(requires)[0].run_script(script_name, ns) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 1649, in run_script exec(script_code, namespace, namespace) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/screenkey-0.4-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/screenkey", line 98, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/screenkey-0.4-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/screenkey", line 90, in main File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/Screenkey/screenkey.py", line 127, in __init__ File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/Screenkey/screenkey.py", line 330, in on_change_mode File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/Screenkey/listenkbd.py", line 115, in __init__ File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/Screenkey/modmap.py", line 33, in get_keymap_table File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/Screenkey/modmap.py", line 18, in cmd_keymap_table File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 710, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1335, in _execute_child raise child_exception TypeError: execve() arg 3 contains a non-string value These are my installed packages: extra/git 2.4.2-1 [installed: 2.4.1-1] extra/libgit2 1:0.22.1-1 [installed] extra/pygtk 2.24.0-5 [installed] extra/pygtksourceview2 2.10.1-5 [installed] extra/python2 2.7.10-1 [installed: 2.7.9-1] extra/python2-beaker 1.7.0-1 [installed] extra/python2-bonobo 2.28.1-9 [installed] extra/python2-cairo 1.10.0-2 [installed] extra/python2-crypto 2.6.1-2 [installed] extra/python2-dbus 1.2.0-4 [installed] extra/python2-gconf 2.28.1-9 [installed] extra/python2-gnomecanvas 2.28.1-9 [installed] extra/python2-gnomedesktop 2.32.0-15 [installed] extra/python2-gnomekeyring 2.32.0-15 [installed] extra/python2-gnomevfs 2.28.1-9 [installed] extra/python2-gobject 3.16.1-1 [installed] extra/python2-gobject2 2.28.6-11 [installed] extra/python2-gtop 2.32.0-15 [installed] extra/python2-libgnome 2.28.1-9 [installed] extra/python2-lxml 3.4.4-1 [installed] extra/python2-mako 1.0.1-1 [installed] extra/python2-markupsafe 0.23-2 [installed] extra/python2-notify 0.1.1-13 [installed] extra/python2-numpy 1.9.2-2 [installed] extra/python2-pip 7.0.1-1 [installed] extra/python2-pycups 1.9.72-2 [installed] extra/python2-pycurl 7.19.5.1-2 [installed] extra/python2-pysmbc 1.0.15.3-1 [installed] extra/python2-rsvg 2.32.0-15 [installed] extra/python2-setuptools 1:17.0-1 [installed: 1:16.0-1] extra/python2-totem-plparser 2.32.0-15 [installed] extra/python2-virtualenv 13.0.1-1 [installed] extra/python2-wnck 2.32.0-15 [installed] extra/python2-xdg 0.25-2 [installed] extra/xdg-utils 1.1.0.git20150323-1 [installed] extra/xorg-xmodmap 1.0.9-1 (xorg-apps xorg) [installed] community/python2-distutils-extra 2.38-2 [installed] community/python2-ecdsa 0.13-1 [installed] community/python2-keybinder2 0.3.0-2 [installed] community/python2-paramiko 1.15.2-1 [installed] community/python2-pexpect 3.3-1 [installed] community/python2-pillow 2.8.1-1 [installed] community/python2-reportlab 3.1.44-2 [installed] community/python2-xlib 0.15rc1-7 [installed] uname -r 3.14.43-2-lts Can anyone help.
