Arch Linux User Repository

@nbryskin Since you aren't the current primary maintainer, that might be why you can't add me. You may need to put in the request to have them removed, and make you the primary maintainer.

@eeems I can't make you a maintainer, but I'll look at your PKGBUILD and update if it works fine.

I just emailed nbryskin asking for it this to be fixed. Supdrewin doesn't have an email address or other form of communication listed on their profile, so I can't contact them. I'll put in an orphan request if I don't hear back from nbryskin in a reasonable amount of time.

Updating the PKGBUILD to the following will fix it:

pkgname=linux-enable-ir-emitter-git
pkgver=4.5.0.r5.g30d2bbf
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Enables infrared cameras that are not directly enabled out-of-the box"
url="https://github.com/EmixamPP/linux-enable-ir-emitter"
license=('MIT')
arch=('x86_64')

provides=(linux-enable-ir-emitter)
conflicts=(linux-enable-ir-emitter chicony-ir-toggle)

makedepends=(git meson)
depends=(python opencv fmt)

install=linux-enable-ir-emitter.install

source=("${pkgname}::git+${url}.git")
sha256sums=('SKIP')

pkgver() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
    git describe --long --tags | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

build() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
    meson setup build
    meson compile -C build
}

package() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
    meson install -C build --destdir=${pkgdir}
}

Would one of the maintainers be able to either update it, or orphan it so that someone else can?

@Eeems, sure. I made the request.

I didn't do it before, because I was sure I would continue to add co-maintainers if that was the wish of some. And if I had left the package, I wasn't sure that the current co-maintainers would have done it as quickly as I did.

@EmixamPP Please orphan the package instead of flagging it out of date as "not supported". While you may not support it, someone else may pick it up.

This package misses dependencies:

glew

hdf5

Without these installed, compilation will fail after these warnings:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libhdf5.so.200, needed by /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.2.0/../../../../lib/libopencv_hdf.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libGLEW.so.2.2, needed by /usr/lib/libvtkRenderingOpenGL2.so.1, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

That’s good. But please note the linux-enable-ir-emitter.yaml is generated after user config.

@supdrewin you ruined the pkgver(), now it calculates the revisions of the pkgbuild git repo, the .install is pointeless; all that actions can be done in the pkgbuild

By the way if this can be useful, @FabioLolix has created a pull request on GitHub related to this package https://github.com/EmixamPP/linux-enable-ir-emitter/pull/28.
