@seawright Thanks! Updated (4.2_2020-1) for this new release - OSS v4.2 build 2020 12-Jan-2021.

@alexdw New package uploaded at: http://www.4front-tech.com/developer/sources/stable/gpl/oss-v4.2-build2020-src-gpl.tar.bz2 sha512sum oss* 6b0c5390e92f9c9466669600321140b54d1fde5eeaef2f9938d6bdbc7ae686f4a1ad0fa9669a1505962eb515d61d29d8a677911557a9b245ce039e1ab3b77d69 oss-v4.2-build2020-src-gpl.tar.bz2

Note: oss-nonfree has been updated to the latest release (4.2 build 2020): https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/oss-nonfree/

However it doesn't look like the open-source (GPL) package has been updated yet: http://www.4front-tech.com/developer/sources/stable/gpl/ (latest files still oss-v4.2-build2019 from 19-Dec-2019)

If/when it is I can update this PKGBUILD similarly.

@je-vv: As discussed in the previous comments, it needs some patches to build with latest kernels, but unfortunately I haven't had time to get it working with the latest version (4.2 build 2019). oss-nonfree (pre-compiled) should be working though, and maybe also oss-git.

Failing to build, any dependency missing?

Aborting...

FYI, interestingly oss-nonfree works with the new version (4.2 build 2019): https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/oss-nonfree

@seawright: No worries, and thanks for your contributions.

Does anyone have build2019 working in Arch? If so which patches did you need to apply? I tried a few mentioned in the oss-git comments but got stuck on this again (in dmesg) when trying to load with soundon: osscore: Unknown symbol GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE (err 0)

@alexdw: Thank you for your offer but I feel I must decline. While I use and therefore have an interest in the ongoing development of OSS4 I do not use Arch and have little knowledge of its package build system. I hope my refusal doesn't result in the Aur OSS* packages becoming unmaintained.

@seawright: Thanks for the heads-up. I'll try to find some time later this week to update this AUR package (and oss-nonfree if required). Feel free if you would like to make the updatse yourself or even take over as Maintainer. I haven't had an active setup running OSS for a while so updates can take a while as I need to fire up a VM to test.

Re. my previous comment, I haven't tried it but 4front-tech have released an updated source archive which can be downloaded from: http://www.4front-tech.com/developer/sources/stable/gpl/oss-v4.2-build2019-src-gpl.tar.bz2

It maybe as simple as updating "pkgver" & "sha512sums" in PKGBUILD to use the updated sources.
