epy-git has vanished from the AUR.

[emk2203]

I had epy installed, but now there are errors that epy-git doesn't exist in the AUR.

What was the reason for removal?

Hmm, thanks for notif... will look into that... I didn't maintain AUR pkg btw...

@emk2203 Kinda see the issue now. The issue is that epy requires https://pypi.org/project/mobi/ but there is no arch package for mobi. So, even if we can make PKGBUILD for epy, user need to install mobi dependency manually...

So I think for the moment, recommended way to install is using pip. Sorry.

Hey there @emk2203 epy no longer requires mobi package and ready to go to AUR. I even made PKGBUILD for that. But when I tried to push to AUR seems like there's another person maintaining it. And I cannot reach him, his email is invalid.

[emk2203]

Unfortunate, but it shouldn't be an issue. There are tons of different PKGBUILDS for small differences in packages by different maintainers. If you just push to AUR with a different name, maybe epy-git, you can have the package in the AUR without obstacles. Only downside would be that the nice name epy is taken.

It's up in the AUR now, seems like it was flagged as out of date...
