Arch Linux User Repository

EDIT: I was mistaken about the .gz being the correct tarball; it seems that there is still a .pkg.tar.zst, but it's now named with the full version included in the name of the file, so the PKGBUILD will still small updates to handle this:

The latest prerelease seems to be including Arch binaries (after the last few had disabled them), but as a .pkg.tar.gz, so the PKGBUILD would need a slight change to account for that in addition to the version bump.

https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases/tag/v2025.1207.140157

Any way this could include a way to automatically fix KMS capture? On wayland it's necessary to do the command "sudo setcap cap_sys_admin+p $(readlink -f $(which sunshine))" to make sunshine work, and I keep forgetting to do this after sunshine updates and end up locked out of remoting into my system.

Obviously using "which sunshine" wouldn't be necessary since we know the location of the sunshine binary.

@antoyo It looks like the latest Sunshine Beta GitHub release (v2025.617.220707) was published without the actual .pkg.tar.zst binary. At the moment, the expected file (sunshine.pkg.tar.zst) is missing from the release assets.

The package needs to be updated to take into account the update to libminiupnpc.so. Thanks.

Does not build because sunshine.desktop is missing.

@Whizz_Bird

Thanks for reporting this!

It looks like the latest Sunshine GitHub release (v2025.514.173708) was published without the actual .pkg.tar.zst binary. At the moment, the expected file (sunshine.pkg.tar.zst) is missing from the release assets, which is why the download fails during the AUR build process.

This issue is upstream and not related to the PKGBUILD itself. I'll keep an eye on the GitHub release, and once the binary becomes available or the release is fixed, the package should build correctly again.

In the meantime, you can either wait for the upstream to fix it or manually install an older version if needed.
