Taking care of the AUR package for ArchLinux.

Please flag the package out of date on the AUR (the link is on a box at the right of the page). That is the only way for me to get notified and update (as it happened today).

I saw this issue by chance because in the process of repackaging I got a:

LookupError: setuptools-scm was unable to detect version for
'/tmp/makepkg/python-anticaptcha/src/python-anticaptcha-0.6.0'.

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs.
Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder)
don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

I followed the advice and sourced the tarball from pypi.org which went fine. Still I was wondering why the tarball releases here on github fail to build. It was not the case a while ago...
