on line 38, the install command is incorrect:

  install -Dm644 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/leftwm/doc/leftwm.1 "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/man/man1

it's missing the -t before the target directory

The package does not work if system configuration differ from defaults, e.g. when CARGO_TARGET_DIR redefined.
Please read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Rust_package_guidelines

Also, why you want to clone the whole repo instead of just downloading an archive?

@wint3rmute No, we had a small issue with the PKGBUILD and the pkgver version. Try installing again, and if you still get the same error, you can try cleaning the cache folder of your AUR helper (eg. for paru ~/.cache/paru/clone/leftwm).

I'm getting the following error message since 0.4.0 release

(1/1) checking for file conflicts                             [----------------------------------] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
leftwm: /usr/local/share/man exists in filesystem (owned by filesystem)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm on a fresh Arch install

You can add the following the bottom of the package() function to install the man page:

install -Dm644 "$srcdir"/$pkgname/leftwm/doc/leftwm.1 "$pkgdir"/usr/share/man/man1/leftwm.1

Could you add the man page? :)

Hi There,

Following up on my previous comment. The toolchain issue can be fixed by defaulting to stable, used the below commands :

rustup install stable
rustup default stable

Then try to build the package. This might be useful for others.

Hi There,

The build is failing :

Cloning into 'leftwm'... done. Switched to a new branch 'makepkg' ==> Starting build()... error: no override and no default toolchain set ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

Unfortunately, it is same for the -git version.
