First of all thanks so much guys for your work on this package it makes such a difference day-to-day!
Anyway, after upgrading to Gnome 42, mutter-performance appears to build and install fine. However, in use, it seems to make no difference?! Under Gnome 41, silky smooth but with Gnome 42 it's almost as if the patch is not being applied at all - strange.
Do you think I am doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
@laurentrepond Reboot the machine and try building the package again.
Or add --nocheck option when building the package.

Does anyone has the same issue?
@ewout This also happens in the official package. Maybe you should make a bug report to the package's maintainer.
File "/usr/lib/mutter-10/plugins/libdefault.so" from package "mutter-performance" is missing dependency "libmutter-clutter-10.so.0"
@phush0 Restart your machine and build the packages again. The packages built successfully in my machine when I updated them.
If you have a problem during any system update with mutter-performance & gnome-shell-performance, please install mutter & gnome-shell packages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.
If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use mutter-performance-unstable
The default patch list includes "Dynamic triple buffering(!1441)", "text-input-v1(!3751)".
Latest Dynamic triple buffering patch has several included MRs from the main development branch to achieve maximum performance.
To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)
You can see some patches' git history here: https://git.saltyming.net/sungmg/mutter-performance-source/
@abrattic I guess the crash is from backported !1441.
Unfortunately, !1441 is synced to mutter 42 now, so backport to 41 is unlikely trivial.
@Saren @FiestaLake Could you take a look at the discussion here? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5218

If you are getting errors like
fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32'while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.Please notify me in comment section if this happens.
The optional performance patches are by default enabled.
