Hello, two things of note concerning this package:

  1. The KDEExperimentalPurpose_FOUND variable is no longer present in the CMakeLists.txt file; CMake warns of this during configuration, but everything still works fine because purpose is an optional package, so if you don't have it installed, CMake automatically configures itself accordingly: thus, the line setting that var should be removed.

  2. I'm unsure whether this is just a me problem, as the official arch pkgbuild doesn't perform any configuration regarding this either (perhaps they have some envvars for cmake set prior to compilation), but for me, after compilation, CMake installs the libgwenviewlib.so files into /usr/lib64, which causes pacman to refuse to install the built pkg.tar, declaring unable to satisfy dependency 'lib:libgwenviewlib.so.5' required by gwenview-no-purpose. This can be solved by adding -DKDE_INSTALL_LIBDIR='lib' to the initial CMake invocation (CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR works too, but CMake emits a useless warning when doing it that way).

Also, this isn't of grave importance, so I'll refrain from denoting it as a 'thing of note', but it could be convenient to add gwenview to provides so you can run something like pacman -Ql gwenview without the extra characters.

Thank you.

Just a heads-up: someone has requested this package to be deleted. So any update could be the last one. Get the PKGBUILD if you want to keep it locally.

Hi tve! I don't think that is really a problem of this package, but one on your system. But I think you probably want to run gpg --recv-keys BB463350D6EF31EF, maybe try that?
