@txtsd For historic reasons.

Upstream is basically unmaintained now, for example the fixes for compilation with ffmpeg5 were written in 2022, but the PR was accepted almost two years later.

Of those 31 commits that my fork is "behind", 16 are actually my commits, 5 are readme changes, 5 merge commits, and 5 remaining commits were irrelevant to Arch.

But still I ought to rebase my fork someday, that's true.

Why does this use source from your fork 1 instead of from upstream 2? Your fork is 31 commits behind as of this moment.

Yes it is fixed now many THANKS

@robin0800 Looks like electricsheep compiles fine without boost-system. I've just removed the dependency, please test the updated version.

This is the Reference

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2268859

the full reference is 1.88.0 boost-libs contains libboost-system.so 1.89.0 boost-libs has no libboost-system.so

Rogach commented on 2025-10-29 10:03 (UTC)

@robin0800 I'll look into it, will have to patch around in the worst case. Can you clarify - what is this libboost-system, what is "39 series" (boost-libs is at 1.89 currently), is there some page describing the deprecation?

robin0800 commented on 2025-10-29 09:57 (UTC)

Electric Sheep needs libboost-system this is included in 38 series but has been removed in 39 series . Not sure what can be done?

@electricprism I've bumped the pkgbuild.

But unfortunately it's not possible to do so automatically, so I have to depend on notifications from affected users such as yourself. If I just bump every time ffmpeg is updated then there will be lots of unnecessary rebuilds.

electricprism commented on 2025-10-12 08:49 (UTC)

Is it possible to trigger a rebuild of this package every time ffmpeg is updated so it doesn't break?

These are the ffmpeg libs that it complained about this last update:

/usr/lib/libavcodec.so.61
/usr/lib/libavformat.so.61
/usr/lib/libswscale.so.8
/usr/lib/libavutil.so.59
