Please remove the luminance entries from the conflicts and provides arrays, since this package actually is called luminance itself.

Regards!

Ahoj,

your package installs it's executable only as /usr/bin/com.sidevesh.Luminance.
This is an unexpected executable name and not easy to remember, so user experience not suited for manual command line start.

Can you add a symlink com.sidevesh.Luminance → Luminance, please?

Regards and thanks for the package!

I had a missing dependency of glib2-devel to build the code, build worked after installation

@sidevesh Yes, this time it worked! Thank you!

@eldelacajita can you try installing again ? I might have fixed the issue

Hi. I'm trying to install it and getting this error:

@yochananmarqos Addressed all the issues

@yochananmarqos looks like luminance-git is already taken by another package but seems like that one is outdated and not being maintained anymore, what is the procedure in this case ? I will look into making this into a static release untill then. Looking into and fixing the other two issues you mentioned

Preate a release tag or use static commit. VCS packages should have a -git extension. See VCS package guidelines

Do not invent a pkgver. The pkgver function generates r52.a9de9d5, so AUR helpers will always think there's an update to 1.0.0.

The post_* functions belong in a separate install file, not the PKGBUILD. In this case, they're not needed at all as Pacman already runs glib-compile-schemas & gtk-update-icon-cache via hooks.
