Files are installed in the wrong place

[yochananmarqos]

I tried the v1.12.1 and v1.12.1-deb_for_stores tags with the same result.

Using setup.py build / install:

Same setup.py file is used for v1.2.0 nd v1.2.1.
Also same setup.py is used for preparing a .deb package and it is installed under /usr/share folder.

Tags with _deb_for_stores is for system packages (such as deb). They can also be used for pacman packages.
Otherwise they are for Python pacages and they are not installed under /usr/share.

What was the installation directory for v1.2.0?

[yochananmarqos]

Same setup.py file is used for v1.2.0 and v1.2.1.

Right, that's what doesn't make any sense.

What was the installation directory for v1.2.0?

Everything is installed in the right place.

I have controlled modifications of the some files (such as setup.py) in deb_for_stores branch. But they are not changed.

Is Python package version (from PyPI) installed on your system? You can remove it if it is installed.

Did you solve the problem?

Is Python package version (from PyPI) installed on your system?

No, I never install anything with Pip. The same thing happens building in a clean chroot as well.

Did you solve the problem?

Nope.

[hakandundar34coding]

I do not know a lot of details about packaging on Arch Linux.
Some dependencies are removed since the last version. For example: makedepends = rsync.

Did you controlled the PKGBUILD file?

[yochananmarqos]

I'm the AUR package maintainer. I was only using rsync to copy files to the right place. I was able to do it without it, so I removed it. That's not related.

[yochananmarqos]

I ended up moving the files in their proper places manually. I shouldn't have to do that.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's broken. I reverted back to 1.12.0 and there it will stay for now.

[yochananmarqos]

Nevermind, something was wrong on my end apparently.
