@everyone the last release of this package (0.10.7-1) changed the name of the library from cava to libcava. I was told in an upstream discussion that for a usecase other than waybar the name change is problematic. For everyone that requires the libcava package with the library name cava I created the AUR package lib-cava. Please leave a comment if this solves the problem. If not, please let me know what the problems are.

@everyone

11th Oct 2025: upstream released v0.10.6 at the 10th of October; that update crashes waybar on my machine, I therefore hold the update of the libcava package back until resolved; upstream issue has been created waybar crashes with libcava 0.10.6

15th Oct 2025: upstream provided a patch, for libcava but also for waybar. Both packages have been updated; be aware that they are not backwards compatible

@inittux thank you for the note! I've seen the reply and tried to rebuild waybar with the 0.10.4 but that was unfortunately not successful. My plan is to re-do it (be certain I didn't overlook anything), document it and answer on github. I plan to do so on the weekend. Sorry @all for the slow progress on the topic, I am slightly occupied IRL.

@mutoroglin Someone replied to your issue saying that Waybar already has libcava 0.10.4 support with was added with a commit but that Waybar(waybar-cava-git) just needs to be rebuilt for it to work with 10.4?

The upstream version 0.10.4 doesn't function with waybar-cava, it crashes on start; I therefore left this package on its old state; I logged an upstream issue and will follow up as soon as I get a reply

@kotontrion thank you for your hint on the needs of cava.psf! I removed cava as dependency

kotontrion commented on 2025-04-05 09:29 (UTC)

As discussed in the issue on github https://github.com/LukashonakV/cava/issues/22 The cava.psf file is only needed by the cava executable, so if libcava is only built as the lib and not the executable, which is the case here, the file is not needed, so the dependency on cava is not needed as well.

Thank you for the note @skedaddle! version 0.10.3-2 does not deliver /usr/share/consolefonts/cava.psf anymore but has instead cava as a dependency. Should solve the issue, I tested it successful with fresh installation of libcava (or alternatively waybar-cava).

skedaddle commented on 2025-03-12 10:13 (UTC)

The latest extra/cava (0.10.4-2) now ships with /usr/share/consolefonts/cava.psf , conflicting with the same file from this package.
