@gonzo2028: There are 2 alternative ways: 1. @aaronfischer splits the package into 25 different ones and whenever there is an update he will have to update 25 individual packages; good for the useres, not so good for the maintainer. 2. @aaronfischer "merges" all the files from the split packages into a single package. This will result in installing binaries, udev rules and .desktop files for 25 devices for every user. Less work for the maintainer, not practical for the users. As is it, the maintainer maintains one single "split-package" and users that use an AUR helper such as yaourt, can uninstall the packages they don't need. This way users get to keep only the files they need to support their own device and the maintainer does not have to modify and commit 25 packages every time there is an update. Hope this helps clear it.

@edward_81: Please read the previous comments here. I've talked to Stefan about this. Every version of roccat-tools need a specific version of libgaminggear to work correctly. There are two options here: Consistent/reliable package and a little bit of hasle on upgrades -- or easy upgrade process and the chance of a broken package with weird bugs everywhere. I've choosen the first option.

Is possible to change the dependency line for libgaminggear from: libgaminggear=0.11.1 to: libgaminggear>=0.11.1 Because every time i try to upgrade the system with yaourt/aur, it complain that roccat-tool-common need that exactly version of libgaminggear.

Could the repo be updated to https://github.com/roccat-linux/roccat-tools/commits/master or otherwise incorporate the patch in there? it enables more hardware support

Just updated roccat-tools-tyon to 5.9.0-2, now I'm getting this error msg whenever I start the configurator via command-line:

roccattyonconfig: symbol lookup error: roccattyonconfig: undefined symbol: roccat_config_window_pages_set_active_page_blocked

The program doesn't start anymore.

EDIT: I got 0 results on Google for this specific error msg, but I was lucky enough to fix it, by simply upgrading roccat-tools-common to the latest version :)

I'm trying to install this via @TheCynicalTeam but I'm getting errors about the signature being invalid. Any help available?

I've also just now tried installing from this AUR. Doing so with lua53 package installed ends with the following error, not sure if there is more detail recorded elsewhere:

Thanks @Martchus for your work! I've tested and integrated it.

Martchus commented on 2020-09-02 15:15 (UTC)

@TheCynicalTeam And the PKGBUILD from my previous comment doesn't work for you? I was able to build with the latest and greatest of everything available at the time (including Lua 5.4). (I also mentioned my binary repo there. The BUILDINFO file within my packages contains an exact list of dependencies/versions.)

Martchus commented on 2020-07-06 13:35 (UTC) (edited on 2020-07-06 13:37 (UTC) by Martchus)

Here's a version I've created in preparation for Lua 5.4: https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs/tree/master/roccat-tools/default

When adjusting the CMake argument it builds fine against Lua 5.4. I also added the version constraint 'lua<5.5' because it is likely going to need rebuild on every minor Lua release. I also added the patch mentioned by @StefanT to fix the build error.

By the way, this package is provided by my binary repository: https://martchus.no-ip.biz/repo/arch/ownstuff


I'd also like to note that adding 25 individual packages is not that bad for the maintainer. I'm maintaining over mingw-w64-qt5-* packages in the AUR and I'm using a simple script to update them simultaneously. But it is of course additional effort, e.g. at some point I've even introduced a templating system to avoid repeating common parts of the PKGBUILDs.

The only real disadvantage I see due to this massive split packaging is that makepkg --printsrcinfo and other makepkg commands take significantly longer to execute than usual. (I thought the build was stuck in the first place.)

Martchus commented on 2020-07-06 09:15 (UTC)

This package needs to be rebuilt against lua 5.4 or use lua53, see https://www.archlinux.org/todo/lua-54-rebuild/.

Considering the build error I've got this package likely goes into the lua53 category:

-- Checking for module 'lua'
--   Found lua, version 5.4.0
Version mismatch lua 504 != 503
CMake Error at cmake_modules/FindLUA.cmake:123 (MESSAGE):
  Could not find Lua

However, maybe we can also workaround it (e.g. it might just work fine when making the check less strict).
