Arch Linux User Repository

I'm glad it was pointed out that the problem is more involved than I first suspected, I must have had remnants of previous work still installed that gave me an initial false positive when first pointed out by @imaciaveller. I'm investigating a solution and I'll patch if I can or update once a fix is pushed by upstream. Thanks for everyone's patience!

@jvzr Whatever was current in the repos at the time of my last clean-build is what I had updated to before my last test however I'm currently knocking out a quick test VM for a 100% pure, new test environment for further tinkering, please standby.

@dhseany: were you still on Gnome 42 at the time of your reply? As reported on timothycrosley/streamdeck-ui, this is not an issue with your package but with pynput and Gnome 43 w/ Wayland. It's a shame because it was working fine with Gnome 42.

FYI I'm getting the same error as @imaciaveller, with pip3's streamdeck-ui and your package (same issue before and after makepkg-ing pynput by hand).

@imaciaveller your problem is most likely related to python-pynput because it's either missing or installed to a non-standard location. I use Gnome (current) for my DE as does my build testing environment and the build process is working fine without errors in a clean setting.

My suggestion is to focus on installing or repairing python-pynput and if you're using an aur helper like yay make sure to CleanBuild python-pynput. Chances are if you manually install python-pynput with makepkg "by hand" it'll work and the rest of your problems with streamdeck-ui should subside. Happy to help further if you catch problems with building the required deps.

dont work in wayland

Update: Pushed to 2.0.6-1 and it seems to update fine. Let me know if anyone sees problems and I'll try to help!

I believe I've corrected the previous build problems by updating the PKGBUILD to Arch standards for modern Python packages such as ours.

The following packages are no longer required: python-dephell python-setuptools

I also added the .desktop file with icon as promised which installs automatically. Post a comment if you encounter any build issues. Thanks!

Edit post-push: I noticed that on one of my test systems that was still on an older version that upgrading from 1.x.x to this 2.0.4-4 version left parts of the old version behind. After uninstalling, rebooting then reinstalling I was left with the clean install of 2.0.4-4 as I expected.

I'm aware of an issue that I believe is focused on python-setuptools (newer than v45) that is preventing one of my secondary PCs from upgrading to the latest version. Once I figure out why it's mad I'll release a patch or workaround instructions.

Update: I was wrong, I think the problem is actually with dephell: https://pastebin.com/qNbJNH8y

@smark Good point, updated to reflect the required versioning. Thanks for the feedback!

If streamdeck-ui depends on python-elgato-streamdeck >= 0.9.1 this should be represented in the PKDBUILD to prevent broken updates.
