@yan12125: Hi, thanks for the report. I pushed a new commit including your patch without bumpimg pkgrel to avoid useless rebuild.

Hi, this package does not build with the upcoming Lua 5.4. Here is a fix:

        if (i > 1) {
            if (devilspie2_debug) fputs("\t", stdout);
        }

I've also submitted this patch to upstream at https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?58681. However, as the maintainer seems no longer working on it, I doubt the fix will be applied in near future. Could you apply that patch in this AUR package first? My patch is compatible with both Lua 5.3 an 5.4, so it can be applied without waiting for Lua 5.4 to be in Arch stable repositories.
