The PKGBUILD guidelines refer to the general case and I don't think they account for the VCS case accurately. It seems like there is little to no consistency as to whether licenses are installed in $pkgname vs ${pkgname%-VCS}
That says twice that need to go in "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}"
, namcap
says that too
I just saw an example of the latter by one of the TUs in gitui-git.
That need to be corrected, just commented
docs and other stuff can go in ${pkgname%-VCS} or usual location

Tips & tricks, common issues
using ccache/sccache
Precompiled headers (PCH) was enabled by default, this would most likely invalidate the compiler cache if any of the upstream header files change. To disable PCH, add the meson build option
-Db_pch=false
tobuild()
.Build with specific pull requests
Use
pick_mr <pull request number>
at the end ofprepare()
to merge pull requests locally. For example, to merge https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/6268, useEnable legacy renderer
In the
build()
function, add-D legacy_renderer=true
to meson setupCompilation errors
If you encounter compilation errors, try the following first:
protocols/
, such asprotocols/linux-dmabuf-v1.hpp
, then rebuild or installhyprwayland-scanner-git
;makepkg --cleanbuild
.Symbol not declared
Errors like
<symbol> was not declared in this scope
<symbol> has not been declared
are usually caused by missing headers. Please consider reporting this upstream or creating a pull request if it has not already been done.
