This package, along with alvr-nvidia, simply doesn't work. I don't know why exactly, but I've been unsuccessfully trying to to connect alvr to steamVR for 2 days. It has always failed at detecting the device. Everything suddenly worked when I switched to the alvr-launcher AUR package instead.

All I can really do is add a message on install, since this probably has to go into Steam's launch settings for SteamVR

Needs PRESSURE_VESSEL_FILESYSTEMS_RO="/usr/lib/steamvr/alvr/" to make it work. Please include this.

Build fails in a clean chroot. Seems like it is missing a dependency on libpipewire:
thread 'main' panicked at /build/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/libspa-sys-0.8.0/build.rs:10:10:
Cannot find libraries: PkgConfig(

The system library `libpipewire-0.3` required by crate `libspa-sys` was not found.
The file `libpipewire-0.3.pc` needs to be installed and the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable must contain its parent directory.
The PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable is not set.
HINT: if you have installed the library, try setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the directory containing `libpipewire-0.3.pc`.

version 20.8.0 is broken on linux according to their discord they will probably fix it in the next dot release but for now they recommend people say on the previous version

Same as below. I would guess it's related to this:
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/alvr
... You are in 'detached HEAD' state. ...
* 15ea173 - (2 weeks ago) v20.7.1 - m00nwtchr (HEAD)
* 06734be - (9 weeks ago) Split packages, add libva - m00nwtchr (origin/master)

I fail to upgrade from 20.6.1-2 to 20.7.1-2, the reason is, it tries to install 20.6.1-2 instead:
