@smedius: As far as the PKGBUILD not matching sometimes, it seems to be a known issue with aurweb.

@smedius: Sorry, made a typo in my previous comment. It's webkitgtk-6.0, not webkit2gtk-6.0. webkit2gtk is the old, deprecated version dropped to the AUR.

EDIT: Also, a build dependency does not belong in optdepends. Either nodejs is required to build or it's not.

@smedius: If you need to bump a commit with the same pkgver, just bump the pkgrel. An epoch should almost never be used.

The webkit package doesn't exist as I mentioned. Notice it appears in red here. There is currently webkit2gtk-4.1 and webkit2gtk-6.0 webkitgtk-6.0 in the repos.

@yochanmarqos

Removed ecpoch. There is a soft dependency on Webkit, it works without webkit, but if webkit is available, desktop widgets are enabled and can be installed from the Gitlab site.

They are not actually packaged with the extensions.

The reason I added epoch is because the committed for the tag changed. It still shows the old commit sha in pkgbuild, but the source URL shows the commit sha..

I don't know quite what to make of that.

@smedius: There was no reason to add an epoch. Also the optional webkit dependency does not exist.

Update: The version 100.13 has now the correct tag in the upstream.

The versions 100.11 and 100.12 were tagged to "gtk4-VERSION" in the upstream. The previous ones were "Gtk4-VERSION" with capital "G", and the PKGBUILD was not updated to reflect the change as shown below:

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/desktop-icons-ng"
  git describe --tags | sed 's/Gtk4-//;s/-/+/g' <---- change from Gtk4 to gtk4
}

A workaround to fix the continuous reinstall behaviour is to change the line above and generate the package manually.

The latest version is bugged, it reproposes the update every times either after the update.

Made nodejs an optional depend in meson.build on main now, if you point your package file to the new commit hash, it should build cleanly without requiring the package.

Couldn't get this latest release installed without the "nodejs" package installed. I was receiving the following error: "desktop-icons-ng/po/meson.build:10:9: ERROR: Program 'node' not found or not executable"
