If you have a problem during any system update with mutter-performance & gnome-shell-performance, please install mutter & gnome-shell packages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.

If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use gnome-shell-performance-unstable

To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)

If you are getting errors like fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.

Please notify me in comment section if this happens.

The optional patches for performance and fixes are by default enabled.

Warning: Before making a report of something broken, make sure it is not caused by an extension or a custom theme!

This package, together with mutter-performance, drastically improved the GNOME performance for me. No more stuttering animations. Thank you!

Update meson to 0.60.0-2 to build this package now.

Saren commented on 2021-10-27 14:15 (UTC)

If this does not build, downgrade meson to 0.59.x.

Hi, I'm a new co-maintainer of gnome-shell-performance and mutter-performance packages. Please don't hesitate to give us/me advice and bug reports.

Thanks.

Terence commented on 2021-10-17 09:37 (UTC)

Hey all,

As you noticed, I'm not able to update this package frequently anymore (lack of time/motivation). If someone wants to help maintain this package I'll gladly add them to the maintainer list.

When preparing the package I get the following error message

Downloading then Merging 1440...
...
error: patch failed: js/ui/windowManager.js:1117
error: js/ui/windowManager.js: patch does not apply

Terence commented on 2020-10-25 21:24 (UTC)

@glorious-yellow Do you use both this package and mutter-performance? If this is the case, try to use mutter and see if it makes a difference. If not, remove '536' '1440' from the _merge_requests_to_use array of this package, rebuild and check again.

glorious-yellow commented on 2020-10-25 21:21 (UTC)

The poor performance only manifests in this package. The one from [extra] does not have the performance issues.
