Please note that a debug option is disabled in this package.

To disable building the docs package, set an env: _disable_docs=y

To enable the check() process, set an env: _enable_check=y


If the building process is getting failed on check() like

83/114 mutter:core+mutter/backends/native / native-unit TIMEOUT 180.01s killed by signal 15 SIGTERM

then you might want to do one of these:

0) Unset an env: _enable_check=y

1) Kill your pipewire session manager; killall $(pacman -Qq pipewire-session-manager).

2) Reboot the machine.

3) Pass a variable --nocheck to makepkg (which can be passed along with --mflags first if you are using paru) to temporarily disable a check() process.

4) Add a line options=(!check) to the package's PKGBUILD file to disable a check() process.

And try again.

@NettoHikari or anyone unable to compile with the following error:

lto1: internal compiler error: bytecode stream: expected tag identifier_node instead of LTO_UNKNOWN

You need to rebuild sysprof and then try again.

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.

@parascent I still don't know why the commit is not reverted. Do the GNOME developers really hate us?

parascent commented on 2018-09-29 09:33 (UTC)

I am infuriated. Gnome was stuttering and slow without this. Now gnome 3.30 is so fast & buttery smooth.

The commit against which this package is currently based (34f5be72) has a nasty shell crash bug when using a Wacom pen: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/294

The fix for this is in mutter a3d9f987.

Saren commented on 2018-09-18 03:10 (UTC)

Package updated for 3.30 and tested. I have reverted to 3.28 because most extensions I am using wont work anyways.

glorious-yellow commented on 2018-09-17 19:57 (UTC)

GNOME 3.30 is in the main repo, this package should be updated

Saren commented on 2018-09-04 05:41 (UTC)

@glorious-yellow @Terence I removed 13870745 and updated the package. Thanks for notifying.

glorious-yellow commented on 2018-09-02 23:53 (UTC)

It appears only some animations are slow. The window maximize/resize animations are very laggy, but the panel and the notifications tray animate smoothly.

glorious-yellow commented on 2018-09-01 14:53 (UTC)

The shell still gradually gets slower, after about a day of usage.

@glorious-yellow @Saren commit 13870745 is closed because it will be replaced by an other one. Please remove it.
