@djallits Thank you. I was thinking more or less the same.

@endorfina I think you should follow tagged releases from Synaptic for this package. evdi-git should follow the displaylink/evdi repository and evdi-compat-git should patch on its own. I wish there was one maintainer for all three packages, so we could ensure consistency with what I proposed.

There is still the problem of versioning evdi-compat-git. I think @varungarg just did that as a one-off patch, and did not take into consideration a long-term strategy.

Maintainer here. What's your preference, evdi users? Do I apply patches to new kernels before official evdi updates are released?

@bidskii Can you take your PR to the displaylink/evdi repo, and PR that against Varun-garg/evdi-compat?

For information : What does it work for me :

uname -a
Linux Albert 5.10.199-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 25 10:47:09 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux
pamac install evdi-git
pamac install displaylink
systemctl enable displaylink.service
reboot

Thanks for this package :-)

Getting errors trying to build evdi with kernel 6.6.1. Made this patch to get it to build, not sure if this is 100% above board (external monitors work, but I get issues if I close my laptop lid and try to use external monitors only). Can anyone else test it?

I can confirm at this point (evdi 1.14.1-0) it works with displaylink 5.8.0 and linux kernel 6.1. So no need of evdi-compat-git right now.

Do not include linux-headers – or any other Linux header package – to the PKGBUILD. These headers are already listed as optional dependencies of dkms and each kernel package has its own header package, so including header package dependency in the -dkms package is both unnecessarily redundant and restricting.

@TheLillo I have found this. Makes sense. 😝

If we take a look at the dkms's PKGBUILD, you can see all of the linux-*-header packages listed in optdepends.

I'll remove the dependency.
