I spent some time this last weekend trying to get pcsx2 working with xlink kai (which is also in the aur)[2].

This PKGBUILD sets -DENABLE_SETCAP=OFF, which prevents the build from doing sudo setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' on /opt/pcsx2/pcsx2-qt[1]

Running that command and having libpcap installed is necessary to use xlink kai, at least on the games I tried. Without those commands the PCAP Switched ethernet device type option doesn't work.

Can we enable that in the PKGBUILD? Are we able to use setcap in the build chroot?

Totally fair! And I think that'd be a great differentiator between our packages as a matter of fact. I've kinda always wanted to have a stable and a git version. Now if we could only get it into the main repo xD I'm going to also be working on other distro packages in the future but will be maintaining pcsx2-git as whatever the hells on the git repo no stop

@FabioLolix Thanks for the links, I'll take a look. I will say though, this package seems to have gone back and forth between vendoring and devendoring across its history, I'm sure devendoring will piss off upstream even more lol

btw also Alpine is building this and they are devendoring some stuff and applying some patches

Once they do a stable release, then sure. For now I think it makes more sense to follow the pre-release tags because the alternative of sticking to a 3-year old unsupported release doesn't sound good for anyone using this package.

Heya, maintainer of pcsx2-git here. So, my understanding is you're planning on maintaining this as stable in the future?

@eclairevoyant Yes I know, says nothing for GLX not even for EGL, but it says

Minimum System Requirements

CPU Supports SSE4.1

OpenGL 3.x support

4 GB system memory, etc.

This package will track nightlies until the next stable release, as that is what upstream supports and the last stable release is 3 years ago.

I'll try to keep up as much as possible with upstream, but realistically releasing an update every few hours is not happening, especially if I'm going to be checking that it builds properly as one should. Most likely I will only be pushing new versions on weekends.

So, expect once or twice-weekly updates. OOD flags will be removed, just comment if there is a build issue.

Also a reminder: if there are issues specific to this package (i.e. you tested the official AppImage and the issue is not present in the AppImage), report them here. This shouldn't happen often as I will try to maintain deps and flags in accordance with the upstream CI.

If you find an issue with both this package and the AppImage, then report it upstream. If you haven't tested the AppImage... test the AppImage.

Standard caveats and guidelines about AUR also apply:

  • Read the wiki

  • There is no support for non-Arch distros or AUR helpers

  • Always build in a clean chroot before reporting build issues

Nothing on that page says GLX. Anyway this is not a packaging issue, so this is not the place for this topic.

@eclairevoyant Here says that pcsx2 is working, that's why.
