Arch Linux User Repository

I've just pushed 7.3.0-3, which includes the following (overdue) changes:

• AUR support is now disabled (because it is currently broken upstream)
• patches to support building against libalpm 14 (pacman 6.1)

There seem to be a few bugs related to downloading files still.

Unfortunately, I no longer use pamac-classic, nor do I have experience with Vala, nor do I have much time to investigate the cause of the bugs.

If anyone wants to take over maintainership (or be a co-maintainer) to fix these issues, let me know.

Probably related to this: https://git.cromer.cl/cromer/pamac-classic/issues/12

AUR has been broken in pamac-classic for a while now due to changes on Arch Linux's side of things. If anyone can fix and do a pull request, I will merge it. But right now I don't have time to investigate myself and is at the bottom of my priority list.

@Cromer: Pamac-Classic v7.2.1 not compatible with new Pacman v6.0. Could you please fix this?

very useful on Arch with gtk

+1 for adding it on official repos

@remussatala Try unchecking the "Hide tray icon when no update available" setting in the preferences menu

pamac-tray not show

@Cromer My apologies for the confusion. Due to keeping gnome-shell/mutter at the previous 3.34 (something I always do to avoid the horde of issues when that jumps to a new version) I still had vala at version 0.46.6-1. After upgrading to vala 0.48.2-1 the build works fine. Sorry for the noise!

json-glibs does not need to be in run deps, it is already pulled in by gtk3.

Also vala in arch linux has the cairo-gobject vapi: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/vala/

@glitsj16 reverting to cairo with a sed is not needed and not recommended. Cairo has: usr/lib/pkgconfig/cairo-gobject.pc which will handle it. However cairo is missing in the deps for this package, it should be added.

Hi, upstream changed dependency 'cairo' to 'cairo-gobject' for 7.2.1 (see https://git.cromer.cl/cromer/pamac-classic/commit/62a9402dac3269228238a9424ca5d6dd5b9a0fee), which doesn't exist in Arch Linux. This causes a build failure:

We need to revert to 'cairo' (which BTW needs to be added to the makedepends array), as that package contains 'cairo-gobject.h':

$ pkgfile cairo-gobject.h
extra/cairo

This can easily be achieved by adding the below, either in a prepare() function or integrated into the current build() function: sed -i -e "s/cairo-gobject/cairo/" meson.build

Additionally, this package needs to add a run-time dependency on 'json-glib':

$ readelf -d  /usr/bin/pamac-system-daemon | grep NEEDED | cut -f2 -d[ | cut -f1 -d] | sort 
libalpm.so.12
libc.so.6
libcurl.so.4
libgio-2.0.so.0
libglib-2.0.so.0
libgobject-2.0.so.0
libjson-glib-1.0.so.0
libPamac.so.7
libpolkit-gobject-1.so.0

$ pkgfile libjson-glib-1.0.so.0
extra/json-glib

@sudobash418, the terminal says it wants to build 7.1.2 to 7.1.3. Anyway, I tried downgrading vala but that didn't work, so I did it oldschool - uninstalled vala and then installed vala-0.42. Then I added vala to the ignorepkg list of pacman to prevent it from updating until this problem is solved. And the building of the new pamac-classic worked.
