I don't use this package anymore because I use wivrn/wayvr for space drag. Disowning.

Needs a dependency: qt5-quickcontrols2 otherwise it will build but fail on startup with: [ERROR] 2026-03-24 02:22:34: QML Error: file:///opt/AdvancedSettings/res/qml/common/mainwidget.qml:2:1: plugin cannot be loaded for module "QtQuick.Controls": Cannot protect module QtQuick.Controls 2 as it was never registered

I just did a one-time PKGBUILD fix and version update.

Put please anyone else adopt it and maintain it, since I am not going to use it.

Regards!

Note: I emailed the maintainer, the email bounced as the address does not exist anymore.

Dependencies need to be changed from Qt5 to Qt6:

Add:

  • qt6-multimedia
  • qt6-declarative
  • libxtst
  • libx11

Somehow, Qt5 packages also seem to be needed according to namcap:

  • qt5-base
  • qt5-websockets
  • qt5-multimedia
  • qt5-declarative

So build options might need adjustment to cleanly build for Qt6 or Qt5 only, or make a split package ovras-qt5 and ovras-qt6 (both having provides=("ovras=${pkgver}"), conflicts=('ovras'))?

Also, libudev0-shim seems not to be needed.

Also, you should change the license identifier to be SPDX compliant: Instead of GPL, use GPL-3.0-or-later (yes, GPL3 is the license version here, according to the LICENSE file; so the old identifier GPL also was wrong because it means version 2).

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

This package downloads it's source as generic filename (v${pkgver}.tar.gz).

This is likely to cause conflicts if $SRCDEST is set (e.g. in /etc/makepkg.conf), because this makes all downloads go into the same directory and when another package also uses such a generic filename conflcits are pre-determined.

Please add ${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz:: in front of the source entry to ensure that the downloaded file is named package name specific.

Regards and thanks for the package!

We are currently at version 5.8.11.

The package has already been flagged out of date on 2023-10-10, but not been updated.

Without qt5-websockets it does not build and fails.

Also it's out of date, latest version is v5.7.4
