Arch Linux User Repository

@danekl Thanks again for the prompt reply and fix.

@tinywrkb hopefully fixed now. Will take a look at aurutils for future releases.

@danekl It fails again to build in a chroot.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/build/foot/src/foot/./scripts/generate-alt-random-writes.py", line 194, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/build/foot/src/foot/./scripts/generate-alt-random-writes.py", line 40, in main
    fcntl.ioctl(sys.stdout.fileno(),
OSError: [Errno 25] Inappropriate ioctl for device

You really need to start testing if your releases are being built correctly in a chroot. This is how Arch Linux package maintainers are building packages and you probably want to see the app being published on the official repos without adding work to Arch Linux maintainers.

I recommend trying aurutils for automating packaging in a chroot.

I'm not bothering with this further, I just dropped foot, it's not my default terminal emulator, I added it to my packages as an alternative, and I'm not gonna set an LXD container just to build it.

@daneki It now builds successfully in a chroot. Thanks!

@tinywrkb should be fixed now

@tinywrkb: you are correct. This will be fixed very soon, when I've ported foot's PKGBUILD to use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fcft/ instead of pulling in fcft as a meson subproject.

The check() function is failing in a chroot build.

The output from the failed tests:

2/2 fcft / fcft       FAIL           0.02s (exit status 6)

-------

Looking at the test code, it's all about loading fonts, so you need some font package that has the proper font families for the tests. Adding dejavu to the checkdepends array fix this issue.
