python-pydns

Category: local-install (rebuilt only so archlinuxaba/the cluster gets it too; not maintained/adapted/owned by us — see arch/scripts/install_only_packages). First-time addition, no prior checkout on this machine.

Python module (py3dns) for DNS lookups.

Build notes (2026-08-19)

• Fresh git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/python-pydns.git, arch=('any'). Build failed on the first try: ERROR Missing dependencies: flit_core<4,>=3.2.
• Root cause: upstream py3dns 4.0.2’s pyproject.toml pins requires = ["flit_core >=3.2,<4"], but Arch’s python-flit-core in extra is now 4.0.2-1 – upstream hasn’t updated its build-system pin for the flit_core 4.x line yet.
• Fix: pydns-flit-core4.patch, a standalone patch relaxing pyproject.toml’s bound to flit_core >=3.2 (drop the <4), applied in a new prepare(). flit_core 4 is backward compatible for this package’s simple build-backend usage – build succeeded cleanly once the pin was relaxed.
• pkgrel 2 (upstream) -> 2.1 (local-install, X.Y scheme).
