The packages manager "yay" (command: yay -Syu --devel) always see a commit and it tries to update it even if there is no commit.

It's probably a mistake in the PKGBUILD see here: https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/691

@ValHue @jpegxguy should be fixed in the new v0.4 release

@ValHue It needs this in the service file

[Install]
WantedBy=graphical.target

Add it with systemctl edit or edit the file directly because it will be there in the next release anyway. It's fixed in github master but not in 0.3

I will get an error when I run:

sudo systemctl enable optimus-manager.service

The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
   .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
   a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
   D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
   instance name specified.

I've looked inside optimus-manager.service and I do not have the [Install] section, so I think that's where the error is.

Should we install it in another way?

I followed the instructions at https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager and I was unable to activate the service.

Thanks.

There are a couple issues with your PKGBUILD:

  • You're not installing the license, which is a requirement for MIT-licensed projects

  • You're pulling git master HEAD on a regular versioned package - pin commits or tags, or rename the package to optimus-manager-git

  • You're depending on python3, use python instead

  • Renaming the source in source=() is redundant in your case

  • Your packaging functions don't follow the Python package guidelines (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_package_guidelines)

Could you please fix the aforementioned packaging issues?

Install and set up in 2 minutes. Huge performance improvement compared to Bumblebee (twice as much FPS in CSGO than before).
