Package disowned

I am glad to maintain this package. Feel free to orphan it.

You can change the PKGBUILD for yourself. I generally don't like building examples in provided PKGBUILDs, because it can clutter the package (17M with examples vs 12M without).

However, I switched jobs since I created this package and don't have access to realsense sensor anymore, so if anyone wants to maintain this package, that would be great.

Could you add DBUILD_EXAMPLES=true? Those examples are useful for everyday work.

Do you have another Python version installed? I just built it in clean chroot without any problems. On the other hand, when I tried to rebuild it after I installed python37 before, it picked up Python3.7 first.

It failed to build on my laptop due to wrong Python version. Please include this patch to fix this issue.

Well, that means, that the package is most likely fine (and you can install it now), however, I am not too sure whether that is a good message for you, because it means the symptoms you had before point to something messed up with the rest of your system. My main guess would be either python-setuptools or the whole python in general. Try to reinstall those and let me know how it goes afterwards.

Btw, is your system up-to-date?

So the build in the clean chroot succeeded (https://pastebin.com/6Zk6K9ja), which is weird for me because I'm not too sure what's going on at this point.

I guess this either wasn't an issue in the first place or is solved now.

Well, that is weird, because for me, that is not the case - I just built it in a clean chroot, python-pyrealsense2-git/usr/bin did exist and was populated with examples and these examples were moved to python-pyrealsense2-git/usr/share/librealsense2

And this is the first time I heard about having an issue due to system python packages not having read permission - that seems more like an issue with setuptools than this package.

However, I found out that I forgot to include python-setuptools as makedepends. The package is already updated.

Can you post the full output of building in the clean chroot? (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot) Preferably over some pastebin-like service, it won't fit nicely in here.

This tries to find and copy files out of python-pyrealsense2-git/usr/bin, which doesn't exist, so the build fails.

Also, for some reason, at first, I had some permission errors when installing this with certain directories in /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ not having read permissions, namely:

greenlet-0.4.15.dist-info/
pynvim-0.3.2-py3.7.egg-info/
