Arch Linux User Repository

@gcb0 You have already answered what the differences are between the packages.

Your next step now is to now go to the oscar repo and see for yourself how often new version tags come and what features/bugfixes are in master and not yet released.

Hi. Should I adopt this package or oscar? which also seem to build from git but pinning by version tag instead of git id.

Hi @harre. The patch needs to be part of the sources array otherwise it is not part of your AUR package. Without this it will not appear in the $srcdir directory. The only reason this works for you is because git apply ../../*.patch reaches back to the directory above $srcdir to the AUR repo which contains the patch. This will not work for any other build methods, e.g. clean chroot and likely AUR helpers (although I've not tried). Hope this makes sense.

@piki How do you build it? It does a cd before the git apply.

I just build the package with "makepkg -si" and it just churns on.

Regarding the patch missing in sources= My idea was to have optional patches added when needed, just adding *.patch and run updatepkgsums doesn't pick it up sadly.

odr-fix.patch is missing from sources=. Also the patch function is reaching back one directory too far, needs to be git apply ../*.patch.

I get the same error, I've reported this to upstream

https://gitlab.com/pholy/OSCAR-code/-/issues/87

and have added an ignore of ODR-violations until they have fixed it.

Any idea how to fix this error

This follows the master branch from git so it's never out of date.

@skypixel: thanks for spotting it, I have pushed update where adding it as optional dependency

Thanks for packaging this. I suggest to add qt5-wayland as optional dependency (optdepends in PKGBUILD), since it's needed when using Wayland instead of X11 (or, at least, I was having issues before installing it as suggested here).
