Arch Linux User Repository

maximbaz: I'm not really interested in maintaining this vaporware anymore. Take it if you want.

ainola: per https://github.com/jonls/redshift/pull/704#issuecomment-609986670, lets change back to minus7' fork

@otahontas according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository

Ensure the base-devel package group is installed in full (pacman -S --needed base-devel).

and if you check https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/base-devel/ you'll see that base-devel package contains both autoconf and automake, so please make sure you install base-devel before installing anything from AUR.

The package requires xorgproto as a makedep. It won't build without it

Needs 'git' in makedepends or else the build fails in chrooted environments (aurutils).

makedepends=('intltool' 'python' 'git')

alexf91, thanks for the update; I pushed the new commit hash.

Build fails:

==> Extracting sources...
  -> Creating working copy of redshift git repo...
fatal: reference is not a tree: eecbfedac48f827e96ad5e151de8f41f6cd3af66
==> ERROR: Failure while creating working copy of redshift git repo
    Aborting...

Looks like the commit doesn't exist anymore. It works fine with 7da875d34854a6a34612d5ce4bd8718c32bec804.

@nperry the wayland branch was rebased, I think; I updated the PKGBUILD

looks like HEAD commit ref has changed?

the package redshift-wlr-gamma-control-git works for me

Ditto, same error here as well!

@Stunkymonkey I'm getting the same error, i.e.

$ redshift -m wayland
Waiting for initial location to become available...
Location: xx.xx N, xx.xx E
Data too big for buffer (6164 > 4096).
Error sending request: Argument list too long

thx, pkgconf is truly in base-devel, I am stupid

No, pkgconf is in base-devel, which no AUR packages need to explicitly depend on.

since today i receive the following error

$ redshift -m wayland
Waiting for initial location to become available...
Location: 48.xx N, 9.xx E
Data too big for buffer (6164 > 4096).
Error sending request: Argument list too long
Aborted (core dumped)

not sure if this is wayland related

@Spleeno you would need to ask the author of the patch; I think he's available on IRC channel for sway.

I just need different color temperatures on one screen so my old x11 redshift config ended with: [randr] crtc=0

Is there any way to target outputs on this version?

@rsa This package is just a patch on top of the normal redshift; enabling wayland means it can do that functionality in addition to what redshift normally supports and is a proper "provides". If you use both Sway and i3, for example, you'd need to uninstall one redshift and install another to switch between the two, as they'd conflict but offer mutually exclusive functionality.

Why enable randr and vidmode if this package is geared towards Wayland?

Thanks for the info @minus, the version is adjusted now.

@ainola, yeah, just confirmed that it works on my laptop w/ intel graphics, but not my PC w/ AMD graphics.

(sorry for the delay, btw)

I squashed a lot of commits, thus the version number that gets generated is lower than the one given in the PKGBUILD, thus yay rebuilds it every time I upgrade. Could you adjust the version please? The current version is 1.12.r25.geecbfed

@aionola This is strange, this works really well with my current Sway setup. Did you use set the wayland backend?

drak3, e00E, perchance are you two running AMD graphics cards? I believe that the wlroots gamma protocol is currently broken for amdgpu.

@e00E, i'm getting the same error. I'm on Sway

@m45t3r, I can't get this to work on sway/wlroots, and I appear to not be the only one. I'd argue against using that branch until those issues are fixed: Gnome and Plasma have this functionality built-in, which really only leaves sway as the big Wayland player that needs this functionality. The current branch is breaky but at least works.

Would you please consider to switch it to https://github.com/jonls/redshift/pull/704? This is based in a more recently upstream.

Here is a patch:

@jakebailey Sorry for the delay, wayland is now added to makedepends.

@evernow It seems to me that you need to use manual method or install geoclue2 properly. I think I had this issue with a regular redshift as well, that's why I have location-provider=manual in my config file, check the man page please.

Pinging about the wayland makedep. (It'd nice to be able to build this for my aurutils repo.)

@evernow Are you using sway-git? This package assumes you're using it (since I don't think wlr-gamma-control is implemented by anything else). It's been working for me for a while.

This does not work for me.

Getting "Failed to run Redshift

@eggze , can you take charge of this package?

@OhDaeto, do you have any intention on switching the source to that other repo? I can confirm that the segfaults are fixed with it.

Forgive the quick followup, but I realized after posting that I should test it under X to see if it works without wayland as well, and it does. A makedep is probably the right way to go given this package just adds the wayland support without affecting any other functionality. I tested the package with wayland as a makedep with i3, and it works as expected.

Wonderful, thank you. One more thing I've found now that I can build it; this depends on the wayland package to build as well. I'm not sure if it should be a makedep or a regular dependency, though. Most likely a regular dependency given you need wayland at runtime to actually use this.

Adding wayland to depends lets the package build, and I confirmed that it works with sway-git.

@jakebailey added

Can git be added as a makedep? Right now, this can't be built in a clean chroot (e.g. with aurutils).

Would you consider to switch it to https://github.com/jonls/redshift/pull/568? This seems to be updated version of the original attempt to implement wayland into redshift.

I just tested it with the branch from the PR with usage of the current PKGBUILD and it seems to work just fine. And I also do not have segfaults when I press Ctrl+C to kill running redshift process…

Hi @OhDaeto, I belive that the package 'wayland' is missing as a make dependencies (as well as the git package is). It would be lovely to update your package.

Thanks!
