@MarcoCoreDuo

Yeah no problem. I remember experiencing this issue back when I used paru.

@HurricanePootis Thanks for the help. I added dusklight to IgnoreDevel and now it's fine. That's also good to know for the future. I'm still pretty new to the Arch world. I also didn't think about the fact that git submodule already pulls the right commit.

@MarcoCoreDuo I found a github issue that describes your situation. You can use IgnoreDevel and IgnoreDevelSource, as describe in man 5 paru.conf.

@marcoCoreDuo

I've been in your exact position before, and I've tried doing that for many packages. If you're using paru, at least from when I did all my testing, I discovered that it really didn't change anything. Furthermore, pinning the aurora submodule to a certain commit really doesn't matter as whenever you use the git submodule command, it will pull the correct commit from the repo.

I'll go ahead and do the change, but I don't think anything will happen. I switched to yay from paru for this exact reason.

@HurricanePootis Would it be possible to pin the aurora submodule in the source array to the exact commit associated with the release? Right now, it pulls the latest commit from the main branch. This causes AUR helpers to constantly trigger false-positive updates whenever a new commit is pushed to aurora. Pinning the commit would also ensure build reproducibility and prevent unexpected build failures if upstream introduces breaking changes.

@narcester My steam controller (2010s) works for me using this package. This package relies on system SDL3 for controller input. If you have a new steam controller, try installing sdl3-git.

I don't know what's the reason but this package makes my Steam Controller not work at all. It works fine in the menu but when I try to click play and press any buttons, it doesn't work at all. The dusklight-bin one works perfectly fine but not this one. Not sure why is that.

@HurricanePootis It builds fine, yeah. I just thought it would be better not to rely on transitive dependencies from meson, when meson is not needed to build the project.

@MarcoCoreDuo

Lmao thanks for pointing out the typo, my bad G. Also, I don't include all upstream makedepends() as I am able to build the package in a clean chroot with extra-x86-64-build -c without seeing any errors. I'll look more into it, just in case.

MarcoCoreDuo commented on 2026-05-19 20:17 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for maintaining this package.

I noticed a small typo in the prepare() function (submoudle instead of submodule). Also, I saw that meson is listed in the makedepends. Is there a reason for not only including the upstream-mentioned build deps?

This built fine in a clean chroot with extra-x86_64-build:
