The dependency list includes packages that do not need to be listed because they can be safely assumed to be installed on every system, such as glib2, glibc and systemd-libs. Is there a particular reason for that or were they just added by mistake?

Builds fine on aarch64

Please add wayland-compositor to provides= so regreet works

@coolguy019 Can you build or run without it? If not, I imagine you don't need it. Sorry if I am wrong.

Should we consider adding swaybg as a dependency for desktop backgrounds?

@graph: you just need to rebuild/reinstall both wlroots-git and sway-git. After rebuilding, everything is fine:

$ yay -Ql wlroots-git | grep libwlroots
wlroots-git /usr/lib/libwlroots-0.19.so
$ yay -Q sway-git
sway-git 1.10.r7373.274a5fc-1
$ ldd /usr/bin/sway | grep libwlroots
        libwlroots-0.19.so => /usr/lib/libwlroots-0.19.so (0x000078c9e9f33000)

The .install file of sway-git even notes that you should rebuild wlroots-git and sway-git together. If you update one, but not the other, then you are bound to get issues like this.

Needs an update since https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wlroots-git got updated to libwlroots-0.19.so.

sway: error while loading shared libraries: libwlroots-0.18.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

yrlf commented on 2024-06-02 09:32 (UTC)

@rekman: at least yay will automatically update wlroots-git first if both sway-git and wlroots-git are in the package list, but won't rebuild sway-git if only wlroots-git is in the package list.

wlroots-git being a makedepend would not change that.

However, it would be an interesting feature to add to AUR helpers to automatically add all reverse-dependencies from the AUR to the list of packages to rebuild. Should not be impossible to do.
