This package still uses the legacy eclass code paths. These paths are deprecated and pose a significant maintenance cost. Please update the package to use PEP517 build mode. For more information, please see the Python Guide, particularly; https://projects.gentoo.org/python/guide/migration.html#migrating-to-pep-517-builds
[Adding this comment en-masse, sorry for the noise, but it's important.) 1. Please take particular care to check file diffs before/after, possibly using `iwdevtools`. Keep a particular eye out for e.g. config files now missing from /etc and instead being in /usr/lib/python*/site-packages, etc. 2. Please make sure to do the migration in a new revision in ~arch, partly because of 1.
Final ping. Please note that we will not hesitate to last rite low profile packages over this.
This one's high on last rite list because of distutils_install_for_testing use.

Created attachment 888944 [details, diff] openshot-3.1.1-r1.ebuild patch
Howdy. I'm an OpenShot user, so I've got an itch to scratch here. :) I've worked with ebuilds for a long time ago, and I was never a dev, so please forgive the ignorance. I tried the naive approach, and followed the migration path to PEP 517 as linked (thanks for that). I tested this with the 'ebuild test' command, and used 'ebuild merge' and then smoke-tested the application. It ran, and I loaded a few files, showed some dialog boxes, etc. Note that I did try to set 'DISTUTILS_USE_PEP517="setuptools"', but I got errors. I'm not sure if this is correct - please do let me know if I need to do more. Happy to share logs, and make adjustments. Thanks.

I am an Openshot user too. I just wrote an email to the author, asking him if an upgrade to Qt6 is planned, notifying him of the imminent removal from Gentoo. He replied that this will need to be done at some point in the near future and that he will discuss it with his team. Maybe we could wait a little longer before removing the package and wait what happens upstream.
Created attachment 889246 [details] libopenshot-0.3.2 corercted (?) with graphicsmagick support I don't have any experience here :D, but maybe this will be enough to just keep openshot in portage while we ate waiting for the next release and the correct ebuild? I've added the graphicmagick USE flag and support to replace imagemagick with gmagick.
