For anyone eager to try the new systray widget, I applied the following patch to the PKGBUILD and it worked just fine. The new SHA is the commit with the 0.6.0 release.

debugedit should be in build deps?

not sure why i was having key errors trying to install this but have never had any other issues installing anything else but the pinned comment did work for me though. I would have never even seen this had I not came to the site and looked for the comments on the page

The pinned imports do not fix the issue for me. gpg is throwing "no user ID" errors on the key.

gpg: key 4AEE18F83AFDEB23: no user ID
gpg: Total number processed: 1
 -> problem importing keys

This, after the imports, after pacman-key --refresh-keys.

For people getting a "failed to run gpg --recv-keys" error when updating, just run the 2 lines in the pinned comment. That fixed it for me.

It throws wrong gpg key. Cannot upgrade. Why though there's 'https://aur.archlinux.org/eww.git' instead of 'https://aur.archlinux.org/eww-wayland.git'?

gpg: error reading key: No public key
gpg: error reading key: No public key
gpg: error reading key: No public key

i tried to install but it says that this key has expired: pub rsa3072 2021-05-03 [SC] [expired: 2023-05-03] B558974128820CB473BD9807E321AD71B1D1F27F uid [ expired] Leon Kowarschick 5300871+elkowar@users.noreply.github.com

@eclairevoyant Thanks a lot for the fix!

@GiftShower eww-git already includes wayland support.

Anyway, fixed.

Doing the changes GiftShower suggested and removing the --frozen option from cargo build let me build the package correctly. See the corresponding PKGBUILD below.
