It seems git.xiph.org isn't online anymore. BUT I found a mirror of the repo on github: https://github.com/Distrotech/libkate

As usual, you should be careful running random code from the internet. But I got it working by editing the PKGBUILD to this:

source=("$_basename::git+https://github.com/Distrotech/libkate.git#tag=kate-${pkgver}"

I'm not sure using https:// instead of git:// is correct, but it seems to work.

I think there is a issue with the source URL. Having issues downloading this and lib32-libtiger.

installing is failing with:

py-compile: line 118: /usr/bin/python2: No such file or directory

I'm building in a clean-chroot, so please add python2 to makedepends.

Please either add python3 into makedepends or use make DESTDIR=$pkgdir PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 install in package(), or build will fail in a clean environment.

Yep same issue..
