I can't sponsor KLatexFormula but use it and may have spotted issues.
I see this version introduces user scripts, but most of them start with
#!/usr/bin/env python
and the problem is that this doesn't explicitly refer to Python 2 or Python 3.
At this time, such a script is considered a release-critical bug. The python
executable has been phased out already.
If these user scripts can be used with Python 3, you should ask upstream to
change the shebang line or patch it in the package, and add the python3
dependency (it's Priority: optional and not considered part of the base system
at the moment). If some only work with Python 2, they should be omitted from
the final packages.
Of the ones installed, I can only see about five user scripts in the
KLatexFormula window: custom command, custom template, dvipng, FeynMF, and
pdflatex. Running them gets errors like
User Script /usr/share/klatexformula/userscripts/dvipng-backend.klfuserscript
reported an error (exit status 1). Here is full stderr output:
This script is part of the Python argcomplete package (https://github.com/
kislyuk/argcomplete). It is used to check if an EASY-INSTALL-SCRIPT wrapper
redirects to a script that contains the string "PYTHON_ARGCOMPLETE_OK". If you
have enabled global completion in argcomplete, the completion hook will run it
every time you press <TAB> in your shell.
Usage:
python-argcomplete-check-easy-install-script <input executable file>
Dependencies needed for scripts and features to work should probably be
included in the Recommends.
There's also warnings like
Warning: ***** In function KLFSettingsPrivate::displayUserScriptConfig()
12/5/20 10:21 AM *****
No value given for config widget "convert"
I don't know if this was introduced in the new version, but the effects like
'on fire effect' don't work for me, not even when saving as a PNG, but it's less
clear why.
If this seems overwhelming for you and upstream to figure out, it may be wise
to make a minimal-changes upload of 4.0.0 to ensure KLatexFormula gets into
