Rule of thumb: Do not mix repo and AUR packages. Use one or the other.

I understand that and agree, but I can't build cosmic-greeter-git which is a dependency of cosmic-session-git because cosmic-greeter-git gives errors on downloading source. Should I report those there (at cosmic-greeter-git)? It has to do with git-lfs being in use in the repo and makepkg not supporting that, and to make use of makepkg-git-lfs-proto I would have to modify the pkgbuild...

created cosmic-app-library-git and requested merge of this one in the hope this would be the correct procedure to rename. i find it easier if both ABS and AUR package have same name apart from -git suffix.

@vosjedev:

As far as the package naming, thank you for letting me know. Somehow I missed that.

I have no idea why the Arch PM invented different package names that neither match the repo name nor the official package names.

Rule of thumb: Do not mix repo and AUR packages. Use one or the other.

FYI, I build the COSMIC AUR packages very often, have them installed on my build / test machine and do the best I can.

Hi, currently some things break with this package when using a mix of repo and aur packages (I have to - there are issues building cosmic-greeter-git which is a dependency of cosmic-session-git, but that's another story). The reason is that the repo package equivalent to this package is cosmic-app-library, but this package provides/conflicts with cosmic-applibrary.

So I thought I'd write a patch to solve that (it's a two line change, it adds cosmic-app-library in both the provides and conficts arrays):
