@redtide "out of date" isn't only about version number. Any broken package that can be fixed is "out of date". (Consider -git packages.)

"Review" means I will put some more effort into trying to fix the package later. Usually, upstream is expected to do that, but this package is bordering on abandonment. So if package maintainers don't feel it's worth the effort, it will probably stay broken forever. Then it would most likely eventually be deleted from AUR.

@xiota what do you mean with "review"? I don't see why to flag this out of date, 0.5.9 is the latest tag version (which apparently is broken as the 0.5.8). We can only try to find a patch, otherwise people should downgrade using older versions, I'm still using the previous we had, 0.5.5.

I have version 0.5.9 installed and it stopped working on my system. When I run gummy start, I get the following error message:

/usr/include/c++/13.2.1/bits/unique_ptr.h:453: typename std::add_lvalue_reference<_Tp>::type std::unique_ptr<_Tp, _Dp>::operator*() const [with _Tp = gummyd::xcb::connection; _Dp = std::default_delete<gummyd::xcb::connection>; typename std::add_lvalue_reference<_Tp>::type = gummyd::xcb::connection&]: Assertion 'get() != pointer()' failed.

The new location for Gummy's source is https://codeberg.org/fusco/gummy ... Could you update this repo accordingly? I really love this program and I can't install it in my new rig because this AUR gives me an error.

release 0.5 makes use of the i2c protocol to control external screen backlight brightness
this feature is optional; to be able to use it:
- load the i2c-dev kernel module
- add your user to the i2c group

a post_install/post_upgrade hook was added to notify users about these post-installation steps

consult the official README for more information:

@earlybird I tested building this package locally (through aura) and it worked fine.
I also tested building gummy on the latest Manjaro Plasma (through Pamac GUI) and Garuda Dragonized (through yay).
The package built and installed fine all 3 times. Running gummy start after installations worked fine.

Are you seeing any error messages when trying to install this package? Feel free to copy the output over here.

can the build be broken?
