Starting with 2021-04-28 (ca0deba) geary-git uses the build-profile "release" instead of "development". This causes a change in the names of the cache-, config- and databae-directories.

Rename the following directories, if you want to keep your old setup:

• ~/.cache/geary-development -> ~/.cache/geary
• ~/.config/geary-development -> ~/.config/geary
• ~/.local/share/geary-development -> ~/.local/share/geary

Thanks for the hint, @tiagoporsch. I've just updated the dependencies.

Hello! The build is failing due to the removal of the appstream-glib dependency. After manually installing it, it worked.

@MarsSeed The dependencies have been updated. Let's see how it works out...

Thanks for pointing me to namcap. I was looking for such a tool...

Also, there are missing (undeclared) dependencies, and there are others that are unneeded. Please kindly look into addressing the following namcap warnings:

This last commit was a no-change bump as far as devtools / makepkg / AUR helpers are concerned, so they won't rebuild the package unless the user forces it.

Hi all,

Anyone who might have used the geary-preview package should install geary-git instead.

Upstream no longer releases non-stable tags since 2021.

Hi, I am the maintainer of the geary-git package and I am wondering in what way your package differs from it.

If there is a difference, it might be helpful to mention this in the package description to help others to decide which package they need.

If there is no differences it would be nice if you could remove the package from the AUR to avoid cluttering due to duplicate packages.

Starting with 2021-04-28 (ca0deba) geary-git uses the build-profile "release" instead of "development". This causes a change in the names of the cache-, config- and databae-directories.

Rename the following directories, if you want to keep your old setup:

• ~/.cache/geary-development -> ~/.cache/geary
• ~/.config/geary-development -> ~/.config/geary
• ~/.local/share/geary-development -> ~/.local/share/geary

@jonian I've researched a bit and it seems to make sense to use the release profile to prevent that people loose they config and mail database when switching from geary to geary-git.

Apart from that I've also updated the version scheme to match it with the recommendations for VCS packages in the official wiki.

@jonian I thought about switching to the release-profile a few times already, but I'm still undecided. On the one hand it seems to make sense, because geary-git is obviously a package, but on the other hand it is also a -git package, which represents an unstable development state.

Are there any specific things that break without using the release profile? Or is it just about the user interface background and the icon? I am willing to change the build profile, if there are any problems.

Otherwise I'd like to follow the common behaviour of other -git packages. Do you know, if other -git packages are using release of develop profiles? Or is there something in the AUR guilelines?
