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

txtsd commented on 2025-11-26 03:10 (UTC)

@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

Thank you.

@jforberg Added as an optional dependency. Package builds normally without it. Thanks for the contribution.

jforberg commented on 2024-03-29 22:08 (UTC)

The package currently doesn't build due to a new dependency on libheif. Here is a patch to apply to fix it:
