I mean I can't install looking-glass-rc without it also pulling in looking-glass-rc-host can I?

Because it doesn't build. Or fix the build. I'm getting the following

@ixevix what do you mean by "remove the -host dependency"? iirc nothing depends on it. It should be ok to use official binary for looking-glass-host binary together with the other packges here.

This pkgbuild is basically a port of aur/looking-glass, which is not a -bin packge. Also build instructions for -host are still available on B7-rc1's documentation. If no additional problem is introduced i'd prefer let it be.

Would it be possible to remove the -host dependency as building it is not supported upstream? Folks on the looking-glass Discord server are running into issues building it.

Dear aur users, I'm sorry, but I'm no longer using archlinux and need someone to help maintain this pkgbuild, I'll drop this package.
