@marcool04 looks nobody does, but thanks for your help even I'm not a truly comaintainer too.

I fixed the missing dep but I'm sorry I haven't much interest in being a co-maintainer. Thanks anyhow for your trust.

Cheers,

Mark.

Upstream ships three times the onnxruntime lib (+ "ldconfig: /usr/lib/libonnxruntime.so.1 is not a symbolic link" error ) You can patch it with

+
+    # upstream .deb ships duplicate copies instead of proper symlinks
+    ln -sf "libonnxruntime.so.1.24.2" "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/libonnxruntime.so.1"
+    ln -sf "libonnxruntime.so.1.24.2" "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/libonnxruntime.so"

I get a pacman warning after installing this package:

ldconfig: /usr/lib/libonnxruntime.so.1 is not a symbolic link

And by the way, the vendored libonnxruntime from deb should be replaced with the dependency on onnxruntime from official arch repositories (I guess the versions are stable and will stay compatible in general, so no need to use vendored ones)

UPD:

Usage of non-vendored onnx might not work at the moment, since the handy expects an exact version:

handy: /usr/lib/libonnxruntime.so.1: version `VERS_1.24.2' not found (required by handy)

The installation of the gtk-layer-shell dependency has been documented in the project's README. It might be necessary to add it directly to the PKGBUILD. See https://github.com/cjpais/Handy?tab=readme-ov-file#linux-notes

I also had to install gtk-layer-shell. But this is a new dependency, it came with my latest system + handy upgrade from 0.7.0 to 0.7.7.

Seems to work better now, no need for the WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 I had befode on KDE/Wayland.

It seems that installing gtk-layer-shell is required for this to work.

Hi,

Can you add the necessary provides / conflicts to this package ?

provides=("${pkgname%-bin}")
conflicts=("${pkgname%-bin}")
