@PhrozenByte: So the original patchset came from the same source as this repo was using, by pulling out commits here https://gitlab.gnome.org/xclaesse/nautilus/-/compare/gnome-48...type-ahead (his changes vs Nautilus 48). I ended up having to modify them to follow new upstream conventions, but xclaesse's commits were GPL-3.0 because they were made against the upstream repo, and my changes were to his commits (making them GPL-3.0 as well).

As for the PKGBUILD, yes, it's just upstream Arch package + the patches and minus the check (the check was failing for me on the archive test, which has nothing to do with what was changed and which I've tested as working on the resulting package).

@albertvaka: No need to make me co-maintainer (unless you're looking for help), you seem quite active here :) I appreciate all the work you've put in keeping this going over the years on that note! I didn't flag this as out of date because I wasn't sure if you'd be willing to accept an "unofficial" update, but I'll do that next time if we're in the same situation again (and after reading the last post in the typeahead thread, it seems like we might be unless upstream is willing to pull in xclaesse's changes).

Also, thanks for the attribution :)

Done! Thanks for the rebase @prurigro, I used your code and credited you in the PKGBUILD :) Btw, if you want to co-maintain as @PhrozenByte suggested, I'm happy to add you.

@PhrozenByte, about using patch files: I did that originally, but it is easier for me to maintain it this way and I try to minimize the effort I need to put here, but there's no important reason to keep it this way.

Hey, sorry this hasn't been updated, but unless someone flags this package as out-of-data I don't know when a new Nautilus version is out. I'll update it now.

@prurigro: Your repo is based on https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/nautilus, right? Besides this AUR package unfortunately still being out-of-date, I feel like that your approach better matches Arch's concept: Instead of relying on someone's fork of all of Nautilus the patchset should be moved to the package as *.patch files and applied to the original sources.

What's missing in your repo is attribution and correct licensing @prurigro: I assume you didn't write the patches? It needs correct attribution then and the code itself is licensed under GPL 3.0 I assume?

@albertvaka can you please update the package? Maybe @prurigro is willing to help out, maybe even as co-maintainer?

Thanks you two, your work is very much appreciated!

While we wait for an official update, I rebased the patchset against nautilus 49 and things seem to be working correctly: https://git.darkcloud.ca/kevin/nautilus-typeahead

Thanks for posting @empr, I added glib2-devel as a build dependency now.

empr commented on 2024-07-06 10:05 (UTC)

I had to manually install the package core/glib2-devel before this would build. I had this error:

nautilus/libnautilus-extension/meson.build:22:36: ERROR: Dependency 'glib-2.0' tool variable 'glib_mkenums' contains erroneous value: '/usr/bin/glib-mkenums'

This is a distributor issue -- please report it to your glib-2.0 provider.

Aborting... -> error making: nautilus-typeahead-exit status 4 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: libnautilus-extension-typeahead - exit status 4

thanks a lot for this, i cannot believe they removed this from the official package!

I would start by asking the Nautilus maintainers upstream at Gnome to re-add that feature. Only if they are against it (like they are for typeahead) we should consider maintaining an external patch for it. Having to maintain a patch like this one is a pain, I would be happier if we didn't need to do this.

Okay, I found the issue: My files used to be sorted by "Modified — Time" but after upgrading, that option is no longer available yet the files were still sorted by something (neither alphabetical nor chronological). Re-sorting by "Modified" fixes it.

Anyway, speaking of, is there a chance that you could reintroduce "Modified — Time"? GNOME certainly loves taking features away...
