Hey ScreamsInJank. Thank you for your quick response. I have just switched to awatcher as you suggested, and it works flawlessly now. Have a nice day!

Hi rait, I've been having the same problem and I'm not entirely sure what's causing it. I don't have time at the moment to fix it but after doing a bit of poking around I've found that awatcher seems to be a better maintained alternative to aw-watcher-window-wayland which supports a broader range of compositors.

I recommend using that these days anyway since aw-watcher-window-wayland isn't maintained very actively by the aw team. (From what I can tell it was always a quick and dirty solution that was intended to be replaced down the line anyway)

It won't build for me. Am I missing a dependency?

Hi, can you update this package to depend on activitywatch instead of hardcoding activitywatch-bin? I just created https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/activitywatch-git, because I was frustrated with the pyinstaller based distribution of the -bin package.

I tested this package locally against activitywatch-git, by modifying the PKGBUILD and works perfectly fine.

I can also take over the maintenance of this, I plan on contributing most of my changes upstream.

Hi xeruf, I adopted this package for the same reason as you adopted aw-client, I don't have any other packages to maintain so I'd be happy to adopt aw-client or disown this if you'd rather do it. Feel free to email me :)

This depends on the outdated aw-client which I just adopted to update it, but I am happy to disown it again. Either way I think it would be sensible to have aw-client and this package maintained together ;)

Hi all, I've adopted this package in the hope that I'll be able to get it working again. This is my first time maintaining a package so please bear with me if I'm not great at it :/

Yes I will start by removing the conflict with activitywatch-bin

Sorry, I stopped using this package recently. I will stop maintaining this package.

Also, please remove the conflict with activitywatch-bin. It includes the server component (aw-server or even aw-server-rust) which are needed by this package.

The build error has been fixed in latest head, see https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-window-wayland/issues/20

Please update this package so it can install fine, thanks !
