For anyone who wants to install this without uninstalling vim first and reinstalling it again after, the (unused) conflicting dependency can be bypassed with pacman's --assume-installed option, e.g.:

$ paru -Sy --assume-installed tinyxxd imv-git

As per the README [1], xxd is optional and only required for testing. Since the tests are disabled and it conflicts with vim, it can be removed.

Since tinyxxd is a drop-in replacement for xxd it should be compatible enough.

@pizzaman Upstream requires tinyxxd. Is the xxd from vim the same as the one from tinyxxd?

looking for conflicting packages...
:: tinyxxd-1.3.7-1 and vim-9.1.1908-1 are in conflict (xxd). Remove vim? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing vim breaks dependency 'vim-plugin-runtime' required by vim-powerline

xxd is provided by vim.

Can I get co-maintainer on this?

Several optional dependencies need to be regular dependencies instead.

FreeImage is unmaintained and has numerous unpatched security vulnerabilities and is no longer packaged. [1][2] Would suggest dropping it.

@zhs Thanks for the patch. Added.

This PKGBUILD does not build against ICU 76.1 anymore. The non-CVS package from extra repository has added this patch: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/imv/-/blob/main/imv-4.5.0-Link-to-the-common-ICU-library.patch?ref_type=heads

It can be incorporated into this AUR PKGBUILD with the following trivial patch:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index b12ac3a..18e6460 100644
--- a/PKGBUILD
+++ b/PKGBUILD
@@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ pkgver() {

 build() {
     cd "$_pkgname"

     meson setup --prefix /usr --buildtype=plain . build
     ninja -C build
 }

Thank you.
