Hi xiota, can you add the patch from https://gitlab.com/compiz/compiz-core/-/commit/ea7b3731b1a8a0f2fb7aa765a84374658b67b1b7 ? Without this patch compiz crashes with the error:

Entity: line 1: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document         
 name="force_independent_output_painting" type="bool"/></screen></core></compiz>

Copy/paste from compiz-core-git. Fixed.

Why is git sudenly a makedepends?

Got bored on waiting for the merge and figured I'd give this a shot, couple things in case folks are a bit more noob, like myself:

1) The patch file no longer applies, took a look at the original bz2 and branch and they're just different. Removing the prepare() from the PKGBUILD resolves this (You don't need to change anything else)

2) After you edit the PKGBUILD you'll run updpkgsums and it'll do the magic for checks. I didn't have this (or know about it, but I feel really dumb now that I do for my own package mgmt), but a simple pacman -S pacman-contrib will grab it (It's a short google, but still).

3) From there, just run your makepkg and pacman -U on the the core and gtk zsts and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the more knowledgeable folks than me who posted below, just thought I'd share the few additional notes that might confuse fellow newbies.

You can't copy and paste the source as specified by JPB_9876; if you want to build the git development tip, copy and paste this one:

source=("${_upstream}-v${pkgver}::git+https://gitlab.com/husixu1/compiz-core.git"

over the existing 

-source=("${url}-/archive/v${pkgver}/${_upstream}-v${pkgver}.tar.bz2"

Then updpkgsums.

If you are clean-chroot building, don't forget to append 'git' to makedepends().

@ShadoKyogre

Could you add:

  provides=('compiz')

under:

  conflicts=('compiz')

This would allow the package to act as a drop in replacement for the other compiz package, which currently cannot be compiled as a stable executable.

Downgrading the package is not effective anymore cuz this affect other packages in the system, so i decided to download the source code with the fix, create the package and update it, now everything is back to normal thanks for advance :)

There is a fix for this waiting to be merged into master:

https://gitlab.com/compiz/compiz-core/-/merge_requests/175

For the impatient, the package will compile, install and run as expected by modifying the PKBUILD to use the following source:

https://gitlab.com/husixu1/compiz-core/-/tree/master

I had the same problem as Techman35, I solved it by downgrading the package libxml2 to the previous version.
