I don't believe fcitx5 is actually required to build the package. SDL can still use it at runtime, but it interfaces entirely through DBus.

(plus it's annoying to have this reinstalled every time a new commit is pushed and see the notification when I start Plasma)

Sounds more reasonable to me now, thanks again.

Sorry everyone for the 2 pages of talk down here :D

With pkgver in provides, you can use depends=('sdl3>3.1.1') (without =) for any newer version or even depends=('sdl3>=3.1.1.r819') for a version newer than a specific commit.

However, I doubt that it's practical to actually use this as "get me version never than prerelease" because it's not guaranteed that there will be a tag higher than prerelease tag (at the moment there is none). But now I see that it's not useless and can actually be used. Even though it's not recommended by SDL itself.

After testing it with a dummy package, I realized I was wrong. I want to apologize, I always thought it worked this way. I hope I did not upset you in any way, and I can only thank you for making me understand this thing during our conversation.

You're actually confused, because provides=(something) means "get version from package that provides" in context of depends=(something=X.X.X).

I think you are the confused one. pkgver is NOT automatically added to each provide. You need to add it explicitly. Otherwise I wouldn't have asked to add it!

Try depends=('sdl3>=3') if you want.

If maintainer adds provides=(sdl3=$pkgver) this will result in provides=(sdl3=3.1.1...) as there is no 3.1.2 anymore and pkgver will be updated to the correct one. This is the same as just provides=(sdl3). I don't understand you.

yataro commented on 2024-06-28 00:54 (UTC)

Of course it won't be selected because there is no 3.1.2 tag or prerelease. The tag was removed a while ago, but the version was not updated... Why do you want to provide a non-existent version?

The version 3.1.2 will disappear when this package is updated. And "implicit provides" only apply for the base package sdl3. We are on the alternative sdl3-git here. Try a PKGBUILD with depends=('sdl3>=3.1.2') and you will see that sdl3-git is not picked.
