Arch Linux User Repository

In addition to needing to remove the submodules, the PKGBUILD is missing python from makedepends.

In case you missed it: cnmatrix and cnkalman have been incorporated into libsurvive https://github.com/collabora/libsurvive/issues/325#issuecomment-2760465783

I had submodule issues when building, and was able to get libsurvive to build correctly by removing those two libraries from the pkgbuild

Another thing:

According to the Arch Linux VCS packaging guidelines, "revision" package version should be prefixed by r, so:

echo r$revision.$hash instead of the current echo $revision.$hash.

But if you parse git describe --tags you can additionally add the proper release version number as first part (1.01), and so generate a version number like e.g. 1.01+31.r2232.4fb6d88 (see for example this PKGBUILD). (That then would also allow to add =${pkgver} to the provides entry, allowing for packages that might have versioned dependency to resolve correctly.)

Since changing the versioning scheme this way logically decreases the version number, $epoch should be incremented, i.e. epoch=1.

Regards!

Thanks for the cnmatrix fix.

Currently when I run namcap, it tells me that openvr should be a dependency:

libsurvive-git E: Dependency openvr detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libopenvr_api.so'] needed in files ['usr/lib/libsurvive/plugins/driver_openvr.so'])

Regards!

Ok I see that someone else packaged those separately. libsurvive links them statically, and if there are separate packages I don't think the libsurvive package should be the one to insist on providing them so I just manually delete those now.

This conflicts with cnmatrix:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
cnmatrix: /usr/include/cnmatrix/cn_flt.h exists in filesystem (owned by libsurvive-git)
cnmatrix: /usr/include/cnmatrix/cn_matrix.blas.h exists in filesystem (owned by libsurvive-git)
cnmatrix: /usr/include/cnmatrix/cn_matrix.eigen.h exists in filesystem (owned by libsurvive-git)
cnmatrix: /usr/include/cnmatrix/cn_matrix.h exists in filesystem (owned by libsurvive-git)
cnmatrix: /usr/lib/libcnmatrix.a exists in filesystem (owned by libsurvive-git)
cnmatrix: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/cnmatrix.pc exists in filesystem (owned by libsurvive-git)

Please check if you either need to remove the conflicting files from the package, or add conflicts=("cnmatrix") and maybe also provides=("cnmatrix").

The package libsurvive does not have this issue.

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

So in December there was a commit which broke hand tracking on Linux:

https://github.com/cntools/libsurvive/issues/294#issuecomment-1815183220
https://github.com/cntools/libsurvive/commit/464dd9734a8de20df818fd83e7c1b016b068bb52

It's easy enough to temporarily correct this by adding the following to PKGBUILD to the end of the "prepare()" function:

git revert --no-commit 464dd9734a8de20df818fd83e7c1b016b068bb52

In case anyone is having trouble getting the controller tracking to work on current builds.

@s-ol The xr-hardware (xr-hardware-git) dependency should take care of the udev rules. If those are missing some USB device we need to add them to xr-hardware.

I know we have missed something in the past because we had the rules shipped by the steam package installed /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/70-steam-vr.rules that has the rules for all the Vive/Index devices.

Unlike libsurvive proper, this doesn't currently install the udev rules as per the "Getting Started" guide. I think that would be a good addition:

install -D -m644 "${pkgname}-${pkgver}/useful_files/81-vive.rules" -t "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/udev/rules.d"
