PKGBUILD critique:

• A package already provides itself, no need for provides() and conflicts().
• libappindicator-gtk3 should be optional
• wmctrl is missing as an optional dependency, see Hotkey In Wayland.
• Checksums are missing for the tarball, do not skip them
• The service should be installed
• Line 34 & 35 are not necessary

Improved PKGBUILD and install file.

jtylerjones -- to enable the systemd user service, you may need to create the file /etc/systemd/user/ulauncher.service with the contents of https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/blob/dev/contrib/systemd/ulauncher.service, and then enable the service with systemctl --user enable ulauncher.service.

I was able to get around the python3-distutils-extra error by simply installing python2.

I fix the python3-distutils-extra error by adding (as ulauncher said) /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages to the PYTHONPATH:

1. Open a terminal

2. Open the .bashrc with a text editor, eg. Kate ~/.bashrc

3. Add at the end export PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages"

4. Install ulauncher

Note: you must be under python environment. I was in anaconda environment and even if the python3-distutils-extra did not appear I was not able to compleate the installation, so I ran conda deactivate and after the installation conda activate

5.8.1 (https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/releases/tag/5.8.1) added a systemd service. However, it does not appear to be included in the tar this uses to build.

I could see it being retrieved using something like this "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/${pkgver}/contrib/systemd/ulauncher.service"

One suggestion: can we add wmctrl as an optional dependency? Without it, the window does not focus in Wayland. See https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/wiki/Hotkey-In-Wayland

the build error is due to pyenv (atleast in my system), run pyenv local system in a terminal and proceed to install

Sorry, but I cannot reproduce this issue and I don't see how it could happen. PKBUILD clearly states that makedepends=('python-distutils-extra')

@ulauncher I'm still getting the same error:

"To build ulauncher you need "python3-distutils-extra" ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting..."

Got this error.

Starting build()... File "setup.py", line 12 print('To build ulauncher you need "python3-distutils-extra"', file=sys.stderr)

The error happen event on ulauncher-git package.

All system packages are updated.
