This package has new dependencies on pantheon-settings-daemon and pantheon-dock, which are not currently provided by any official repository.

One way to build this (in a clean chroot, without an AUR helper) would be to build packages providing them from the AUR first, then build it against them:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pantheon-settings-daemon-git.git
$ cd pantheon-settings-daemon
$ makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT
# pacman -U --asdeps pantheon-settings-daemon-git-1.0.0.r18.e4b709d-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst 
$ cd ..
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pantheon-dock-instctl-git.git
$ cd pantheon-dock-instctl-git
$ makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT
# pacman -U --asdeps pantheon-dock-instctl-git-r2179.4a0b6af-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst 
$ cd ..
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pantheon-session-git
$ cd pantheon-session-git
$ makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT -I ../pantheon-settings-daemon-git/pantheon-settings-daemon-git-1.0.0.r18.e4b709d-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst -I ../pantheon-dock-instctl-git/pantheon-dock-instctl-git-r2179.4a0b6af-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
# pacman -U --asdeps pantheon-session-git-r148.48b482e-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

@quequotion, Thanks, now I can continue building

to have entries in the display manager

I don't think, for this specific thing, the git version was ever required. The "stable release" version should provide the gnome-session and xsession files just as well. Unfortunately neither is available from an official repository yet.

@qkvylq

libwingpanel-2.0.so=0-64

Upstream has changed the whole way they version and name their library, but Alucryd's wingpanel package has not. This package of mine is incorrect also.

In this case, I think you can work around by removing the "=0-64" bit from line 15 in the PKGBUILD (might as well remove it from both wingpanel and gala). Note that in the near future, all packages requiring libwingpanel--including this--may need to be rebuilt if Alucryd changes the library name in the wingpanel package.

I will try to get around to updating this package tonight.

The package is no longer being built

yay -S pantheon-session-git
 -> Could not find all required packages:
    libwingpanel-2.0.so=0-64 (Wanted by: pantheon-session-git)

What can I change to build?

Needs a wingpanel version who is not available

Do we still need the "git" version to have entries in the display manager?

@btd1337

How are you building this?

It should get gala and wingpanel from [extra] when built in a clean chroot, until their sonames bump (when new stable releases get packaged).

It needs to update PKGBuild dependencies to build works correctly.

depends=(
  (...)
  gala
  wingpanel
  (...)
)

@bkb

Thanks for the feedback! That sounds very familiar.

The symptoms are the same as were had quite some time ago, when gala, cerbere,or g-s-d would fail to start.

To be sure: you ought to have read the wiki, which would have told you that wingpanel is empty by default and plank does not have its autostart. There's a possibility you are looking at empty wingpanel (black or transparent top bar), no plank (missing startup), and an empty background (no theme or backgrounds package). This could be remedied by installing any wingpanel indicator and creating plank's autostart, if that is the case.

I will look into if I can reproduce your situation and if there is another cause (failed to build autostarts, etc.).

EDIT: The package I built in a clean chroot includes all the autostarts it should, in the directory /etc/xdg/autostart/.

This package gives a mouse with the background. But nothing else possible. It doesn't seem to xdg autostart anything, and in fact the installation doesn't seem to copy anything in the xdg start directory
