@likalium It seems OK, and you are right the issue was sorted after me pushing for it ^__^

I am abroad for work reasons, with no access to an arch system. I will update the package this weekend once home.

Thanks and sorry for the waiting.

Updated package now that v0.8 is accessible, works on my side. Please tell me if something's wrong as I have no prior experience with modifying PKGBUILDs. Note that I just updated pkgver & sha256sums, and made it depend on wlroots 0.19 (instead of 0.18).

pkgname=dwl
pkgver=0.8
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="Simple, hackable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor (dwm for Wayland)"
arch=('x86_64')
url="https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl"
license=('GPL')
depends=('wlroots0.19')
makedepends=('wayland-protocols')
optdepends=('xorg-xwayland: for XWayland support')
source=("https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl/releases/download/v$pkgver/$pkgname-v$pkgver.tar.gz"
        config.h)
sha256sums=('ccc8bbb3fb66a7e6f0392693533ac9c8bd4e6283dd1f66992e68ec4d4a9cdee7'
            SKIP)

prepare() {
    cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-v$pkgver"
    # Use a custom config.h if the file is not empty
    if [ -s "$srcdir/config.h" ]; then
        cp -f "$srcdir/config.h" config.h
    fi
    # Uncomment to compile with XWayland support
    sed -i -e '/-DXWAYLAND\|xcb/s/^#//' config.mk
}

build() {
    cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-v$pkgver"
    make
}

package() {
    cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-v$pkgver"
    make PREFIX="$pkgdir/usr/" install
}

@thule: the v0.8 release seems to be accessible now

Issue on codeberg.org/dwl: https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl/issues/1193

thule commented on 2026-02-28 12:23 (UTC)

I cannot update the package because https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl/releases/download/v0.8/dwl-v0.8.tar.gz is not accessible.

I am going to report the issue upstream.

@matthewq337: Please remove the flagging for the time being.

thule commented on 2025-09-03 19:08 (UTC)

The package is now updated to depend on wlroots0.18.

Enjoy!

Someone filed an orphan request for this package without contacting me at all. Not nice. I am planning to update it in the next couple of weeks. Sorry for the delay.

The PKGBUILD needs to be updated to follow https://archlinux.org/todo/switch-to-a-versioned-packaging-scheme-for-wlroots/

ThunderSquirrel commented on 2024-09-06 15:12 (UTC)

dwl was updated to version 0.7, which works fine with wlroots 0.18

0mark commented on 2024-07-30 05:39 (UTC)

Arch now (i think this is new, but not sure) has to version of wlroots: just "wlroots" which is the current version (currently 0.18) and "wlroots0.17". But the latter one has its .pc file in a non-standard location. To get it work in a pinch: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/lib/wlroots0.17/pkgconfig' then run makepkg.

Or add the line to the PKGBUILD. Look at the sway package, i got it from there too :) Sidenote to maintainer: the dependency to wlroots needs to be updated too.
