It seems that building this software from source needs the build tool conan, whch is only available in the AUR and in turn depends on two more Python packages only available in the AUR (python-patch-ng and python-pluginbas).

We can't package software in our repo, which has dependencies on the AUR, even for makedepebds.

Additionally, when trying to build the sofware wih conan installed, I get this error:

$ cmake -B build -S $(pwd) -DINSTALL_SERVICE_FILE=OFF
-- Conan: checking conan executable

You need to create a default profile (type 'conan profile detect' command)
or specify your own profile with '--profile:build=<myprofile>'
CMake Error at build/conan.cmake:651 (message):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Until both these issues are resolved, I'm afraid we have to give this one a pass.

@SpotlightKid Okay, I see. Thank you for investigating this in detail.
