Arch Linux User Repository

Should be fixed now. I've put back wxwidgets as mandatory dependency, it's required for default build.

Build fails with:

@mmozeiko, please remove spdlog from dependencies as it is not needed anymore: https://github.com/elfmz/far2l/pull/1767 It is needed only to debug colorer, so most of users can safely live without it.

Or use ccache, which greatly reduce compile time because most of everyday far2l changes are very small.

If you don't want to recompile -git packages from AUR then don't update them. I don't know which package manager you use, but for example with yay that means not using --devel argument when doing updates.

This is AUR question, of course, but may be anyone know how to reduce each day updating of far2l? It's take too much time to compile from git.

Thank you very much, @mmozeiko. I was able to build it again just now!

There's no need for any of that. I've updated the build, now it works fine from code in far2l's git.

I am very new to AUR and don't know how to fix the broken build, but these steps worked for me:

0) Assume you have yay installed. Yay is an AUR helper like yay lets you download and install packages from the Arch User Repository.

1) Install debtap

debtap is a script to convert .deb packages to Arch Linux packages.

yay -S debtap

2) Download far2l debs: You can check the latest versions here https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/far2l/

wget https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/far2l/far2l_2.5.0~beta+git20230223+ds-2_amd64.deb

wget https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/far2l/far2l-data_2.5.0~beta+git20230223+ds-2_all.deb

3) Update debtap

sudo debtap -u

4) Convert debs to zst format that pacman can install

debtap far2l-data_2.5.0\~beta+git20230223+ds-2_all.deb

debtap far2l_2.5.0\~beta+git20230223+ds-2_amd64.deb

5) Install the generated .zst packages

sudo pacman -U far2l-data-git-20230223-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

sudo pacman --nodeps --assume-installed=far2l-data -U far2l-git-20230223-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Install the data package first. I had to add "--nodeps --assume-installed=far2l-data" arguments to make it install.

6) Run far2l

far2l-desktop.patch is broken after this commit in upsteam. It seems that this patch is not necessary anymore.
