To whom it may concern: please do not flag the package out-of-date because it's not working with the latest GNOME release. If the extension is not working, it doesn't mean it's out-of-date. The [latest version released[(https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/releases/latest) is sometimes lagging behind so this PKGBUILD is strictly up-to-date even if the result is not working. As of GNOME 45, all of the extensions have been broken, please allow the developers time to update their project you like to use in your environment.

Please consider moving evolution-data-server to optdepends

1. It is only required by some“Optional Features" as upstream wiki says (https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/wiki/Installation#optional-features)
2. A fast test to the latest version is processed by me, after sudo pacman -Rdduns evolution-data-server && sudo systemctl restart gdm, pairing and file transfer were not affected.

PS: evolution-data-server uses too much RAM and is not friendly to my tablet with 2GiB DRAM.

Please follow Arch Linux RFC16: use SPDX license identifier in PKGBUILD.

Thanks for maintaining! :)

Hello,

The upcoming version of the GSConnect extension which supports Gnome 45 has added a code change that seems to require a new dependency.

You may see this error in your journal when attempting to run the extension.

JS ERROR: Error: Requiring EBook, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'EBook' (any version) not found  
@/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/gsconnect@andyholmes.github.io/service/utils/setup.js:17:34  
@/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/gsconnect@andyholmes.github.io/service/daemon.js:42:16

This seems to be caused by a missing Ebook-1.2.typelib file in /usr/lib/girepository-1.0, which is provided by the evolution-data-server package.

Without this typelib file, the server implementation won't start up, so you would only see a "Waiting for Connection" in the GSConnect window.

@postblue: Thank you for your effort.

I saw arash12ir's comment about v55 availability as the package was flagged out-of-date. In good faith, I thought it was a simple version bump as I had so many in the past. I changed the epoch to 2 so everyone can revert to v54.

@postblue: As others mentioned, v55 is only compatible with GNOME 44. See the metadata.json.in.

@chungy

Incompatible with which gnome package in extra repository?

Or you mean with version of gnome packages in general?

v55 isn't compatible with the version of GNOME in extra.

v55 is now available for download.
