Please either rename this package to river-classic-git or bump to the unreleased main banch. I've prepared such a PKGBUILD to become the new river pkg in the extra repo once 0.4.0 non-monolithic gets released.

_branch selects which branch to build. It's declared at the top of the PKGBUILD. It can be overridden:

  • _branch=main makepkg -rsi
  • extra-x86_64-build -- -- _branch=main

What is "$_branch" in the source for exactly? It's not declared anywhere and I had to change it to main to be able to get Rill(window manager) working.

With the changes done to packaging of wlroots, can you change the dependency from wlroots to wlroots0.18 (i.e. https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/wlroots0.18/)

Thanks!

The PKGBUILD needs updating too as the following have also changed:

source=(
  'git+https://github.com/riverwm/river.git'
  'git+https://github.com/ifreund/zig-pixman.git'
  'git+https://github.com/ifreund/zig-wayland.git'
  'git+https://github.com/swaywm/zig-wlroots.git'
  'git+https://github.com/ifreund/zig-xkbcommon.git'
)

They are now:

source=(
  'git+https://codeberg.org/river/river.git'
  'git+https://codeberg.org/ifreund/zig-pixman.git'
  'git+https://codeberg.org/ifreund/zig-wayland.git'
  'git+https://codeberg.org/ifreund/zig-wlroots.git'
  'git+https://codeberg.org/ifreund/zig-xkbcommon.git'
)
