Anyone here looking for compiz-bzr should install compiz-git instead. Upstream development has moved back to git, making compiz-bzr obsolete.

The compiz-git package is available here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-git/

Does anyone want to take over maintenance of compiz and compiz-bzr? I can continue as maintainer but the truth is, I no longer use Compiz and haven't used it on a day-to-day basis for a very long time now. I feel I should probably hand over to someone who still uses it.

When library names like libprotobuf.so.XX change you just need to rebuild compiz. It's not a problem with the PKGBUILD. This is normal for AUR packages. Packages in the official repos also get rebuilt when libraries are updated.

Note that you shouldn't symlink new library names to old. This will create problems for you further down the line.

@kinoru Looks like a problem with Python 3.12. Arch is still on 3.11. Should be resolved by installing python-setuptools. I'll review this package and add it with any other needed updates, since it will eventually be needed when Arch upgrades Python. But I don't see setuptools available for 3.12 yet, so you're on your own figuring out how to provide it.

@xiota Ah yes it's building now in a clean chroot. I should have checked, sorry :)

@shoryuken I am unable to replicate. Try clearing cache and building in a clean chroot.

Build fails for me:

-- No coverage report targets set, not generating coverage report
-- Configuring done (516.1s)
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/CTestTargets.cmake:59 (add_custom_target):

and many other error messages.

Switched from compiz-easy-patch. Works perfectly. Thanks for your work.

The last update doesn't downgrade any packages, but uses C++17 to build.

I don't know if this means anything, but about 12 hours ago (before you made the <del>protobuf downgrade</del> C++17 update) I encountered a similar error and downgraded the abseil-cpp package to abseil-cpp-20220623.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst at https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/a/abseil-cpp/

Then the build was successful.

@xiota No probs works now. Thanks
