The latest version of vala seems to be causing errors with the build process, a workaround for this issue would be to downgrade vala, I have successfully built pamac-aur using vala-0.46.6-1-x86_64, however there may be other versions that would work as well.

I'm having trouble with the following build error Are there any missing dependencies or solutions?

Hi, is it possible to provide a binary version package? (something like pamac-bin)

Thanks !

pamac-tray-appindicator has been replaces by pamac-tray-icon-plasma for plasma desktop.

I create compatible pamac-tray-icon-plasma pkgbuild to AUR.

Repo: https://github.com/ZorinArch/pamac-tray-icon-plasma

@Zeph you can use this build and maintain it.

Is there a way to re-enable the tray appindicator? Cheers!

Using arch linux with gnome here. Everything updated. When trying to update the pamac-aur here, there is an error in the compilation and what I see here is an error:

Currently pamac-aur requires an asciidoc package, so please add it to the dependencies to avoid building issues.

Kind regards,
