Arch Linux User Repository

Hi, here is an update on the libstrangle and libstrangle-git packages:

Context:
- Updates to GCC 13 and GLIBC 2.38 broke libstrangle,
- There are pending merge requests to the original upstream repo[1] to bring the package back to functional state,
- However, the upstream repo appears not to be maintained anymore and the MRs have been pending for a year,

Our AUR packages:
- libstrangle will remain based on the original upstream repo, but I updated the PKGBUILD to include all necessary changes as .patch files,
- libstrangle-git will switch to @Infernio's fork[2] of the original upstream repo,
- This brings back both packages to functional state, and give users flexibility depending on whether the origin upstream repo comes back to life, or whether @Infernio's fork is more reliable,

Finally, sorry for the long resolution delay. Since @Infernio volunteered, I added him as co-maintainer of both packages.

@Infernio, I now have more time for this maintainance work, so I should be able to contribute more reliably. But if you prefer to completely take over, let me know and I will set you as primary maintainer.

Sorry for the late reply qbvt. Yes, the update fixed my issue. Thank you.

Definitely an improvement. Thank you. :)

You might still want to consider using the git describe method over fprint since that will automatically keep up with the latest upstream version without having to manually update the PKGBUILD every release, but you may just as well just make that change whenever 0.1.2 (or 0.2.0) is released and you’ll need to update the PKGBUILD anyway (because of how it’s currently set up).

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. I updated the PKGBUILD. Unfortunately, I don't/won't have access to an arch machine for at least a few days more.

Let me know if this update fixes your issue. If not, I will rollback the package.

I have the same exact error as FosRex.

I am getting an error during the Cleaning up process due to the recursive functions:

==> Cleaning up...
-> the PKGDEST for libstrangle-git is listed by makepkg but does not exist: /home/anshu/.cache/yay/libstrangle-git/libstrangle-git-0.1.1.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Using $pkgver in pkgver() makes the function recursive, meaning that you’ll grow the $pkgver every time it’s run, eventually leading to "fun" $pkgver strings like "0.1.1.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31.r135.0273e31".

Using git describe --long --tags | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g' (based on examples from the wiki) will right now result in "0.1.1.r22.g0273e31" on the current master, which seems like a better version string than the current situation. :)

Dependencies updated, thanks!

You also need these dependencies: linux-api-headers libx11 xorgproto

Looks like this needs a few tweaks to build in a clean chroot:

Any chance you could install the README.md locally too in the PKGBUILD? See https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=isrcsubmit-git for an example of additional documentation being installed from git repository.
