python-numba does not support python-numpy 1.24 yet [1], the open PR is [2].

I have modified the PKGBUILD of python-numba-git in the AUR to apply the pull request and it seems to be working.

If the patch [1] can be applied to the last release, would it be possible to rebuild python-numba with it?

+1 to apply the patch to stable release if possible.

Hi Bruno, maybe this should go back to AUR if you don't have time to maintain it. I would expect packages in official repos to be compatible with other packages in the official repos. Numba is totally broken without the patch mentioned above with current version of numpy in [extra].

Hi Bruno, this affects quite a number of packages in the AUR.
What can we do to help get this fixed?

Please test applying this patch and check if you encounter any test failures in check().

Added two more commits from the 8691 pull [1] to match those NixOS chose [2]. The additional commit [3] lifts the numpy 1.23 version restriction NixOS used a string replacement instead.
Edit:
Forgot to attach patch.

No issues on check() on my desktop using extra-x86_64-build, but with "NumPy >= 1.22 with AVX512_SKX detected: False". Now rerunning on my laptop that has AVX512.

Same on my laptop. Everything seems to work just fine with that patch.

I'm unable to build without changing `max_numpy_run_version = "1.24"` to `max_numpy_run_version = "1.25"` in `setup.py`. There's some `<` check that fails even after I changed the ones I could find to `<=`. PKGBUILD that downloads and applies loqs' patch is attached.

Thanks @xiota. You `PKGBUILD` works perfectly.
Comment by loqs (loqs) - Tuesday, 21 March 2023, 21:29 GMT
Updated PKGBUILD.diff that 13 commits dropping [1] which did not remove the need for patching max_numpy_run_version replaced with two sed calls one for max_numpy_run_version and a second for numpy_version.
Note numba will probably break again on the python 3.11 judging from the outstanding pull requests.

Updated to numba 0.57.0rc1 and llvmlite 0.40.0rc1 for python 3.11.
