This? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ytmdl#comment-868155

It's quite a lot of deps 😅

[Technetium1]

python-ffmpeg package has a broken test. That's currently the only holdup on building this package. Not sure if it's okay to skip the tests just because of that being broken. Upstream issue: kkroening/ffmpeg-python#636

[ZingyTomato]

Yep just encountered the same issue.

[Technetium1]

I just posted about a possible patch for the issue here: kkroening/ffmpeg-python#636 (comment)

[ZingyTomato]

Hope they fix it 😂

[xiota]

Using pytest -vvl, it looks like ffmpeg 5.x replaces the trimmed frames with the first frame instead of removing them entirely.

[ZingyTomato]

Will the saga finally be over... after like 5 months 😂

[Technetium1]

@ZingyTomato should finally be fixed when xiota's pr is merged: kkroening/ffmpeg-python#726

[xiota]

I created another PR that uses a different method to fix the test. kkroening/ffmpeg-python#737

Still no sign of maintainer activity in that repository though.

Why not just skip the checks?

[xiota]

The python-ffmpeg package has been updated to skip the broken test.

Also, the upstream project name is actually "ffmpeg-python", while there is another project named "python-ffmpeg" (github). I don't know whether they are drop-in replacements for each other, but while the former appears to have been abandoned, the latter is actively developed.

[Technetium1]

Issues with python-simber, will link an upstream issue when I make one.
python-simber.log

[deepjyoti30]

The simber issue should be fixed with the 0.2.6 release. Let me know if any other blockers come up that I can possibly solve!

Also thanks for the effort to add ytmdl. Really appreciate it!

[Technetium1]

@deepjyoti30 finally got a new problem to solve!
from ytmdl.log:

python-pip is missing in makedepends, also looks like it still searches for Simber 0.2.5.

[xiota]

After removing the simber version string and changing the build command to python -m build --no-isolation, I get the following error:

I was able to successfully build once with python -m build (without --no-isolation flag). But I think that's just redownloading all the dependencies when building the venv. Also, subsequent attempts to build have failed because of various errors. (Unfortunately, I didn't save the logs. But I recall some messages about missing ytmdl.bash and ytmdl.zsh, even though they're present, as far as I can tell.)

[deepjyoti30]

@xiota @Technetium1 The ytmdl release is now published and contains simber 0.2.6 or higher as a required dependency. You can try it now and let me know if something else shows up.

Can the /share folder and extra dependencies be removed?

[Technetium1]

@deepjyoti30 It builds now, with the warnings above 👀

[Technetium1]

Feel free to use the hourly log to solve your warnings on future builds 😃

@xiota

Can the /share folder be removed

/share directory just contains the bash files and is a necessary file for packages in order to include the sh completion files.

extra dependencies be removed?

Those are not extra dependencies. python, ffmpeg etc are direct dependencies and inaSpeechSegmenter is an optional dependency for the ytmdl package. The ytmdl package has an option to include some extra functionality and this package will be required then. This is a common way of shipping python packages that might have certain dependencies not useful for all users.

[xiota]

It's common practice for packages that depend on python-* to not include python in the depends. This is described at ArchWiki PKGBUILD:

In some cases this is not necessary and may or may not be listed, for example glibc cannot be uninstalled as every system needs some C library, or python for a package that already depends on another python- module, as the second module must per definition depend on python and cannot ever stop pulling it in as a dependency.

/share is entirely unused. In the PKGBUILD, ${pkgdir}/share can be removed and bash completion will still work because package() copies the files to the standard location /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ytmdl.

Also requesting you remove the version strings from "python>=3.6" and "yt-dlp>=2022.03.08.1". The version strings block usage of the -git packages.
