Hi,
I don’t know if this is the right category, but I’d like to ask if it is possible to add in the official repo or in AUR, the new package romkan2 cause the old romkan is no longer maintained.
With Python 3.14.3 it gives error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘imp’
imp was deprecated in Python3.4 and removed in Python3.7.
Thanks.
To the best of my knowledge, there has never been a romkan package in the Manjaro repositories.
There is a package called python-romkan in the AUR, but Manjaro doesn’t have anything to do with the AUR. The AUR is content uploaded by Arch users, and thus, also not even by the Arch developers themselves.
As you’ve noted, the AUR packages — both the regular one and the -git one — have no longer been maintained since 2018. The project’s own website also does not list any more recent versions.
I think the best you can do would be to contact the developers at their upstream website and ask them whether the project is still being maintained. They also seem to offer installation via pip, which is a distribution-independent method of getting it on your system.
It’s in pypi, so you can use pip to install it, or you could create a PKGBUILD and upload it to the AUR.
Regarding your comment on the python-romkan page: No, it is not possible to “update” python-romkan to python-romkan2–they’re different upstream Python modules. A new package called python-romkan2 would need to be created and anything depending on the successor would need to update the dependencies accordingly.
Thanks, I tried with pip and pipx but got errors.
So I guess I’ll try to make a PKGBUILD, test it on my pc and then upload in AUR.
I mark this a solution, but the other answers where solutions too.
