Arch Linux User Repository

@deathye Could you be more explicit? What isn't working?

not working after the last arch update

sway depends on xcb-util-renderutil and will not run without it. Please add it to depends()

@auruser123

Subprojects wlroots: NO Neither a subproject directory nor a wlroots.wrap file was found.

Which means sway-git will be built without wlroots, and nothing would work AFAICT.

Meson has multiple ways of detecting dependencies:

• as a subproject;
• using Meson integrated package manager (wlroots.wrap);
• from the system (standard include, pkgconfig, CMake, …).

The complete log is:

Neither a subproject directory nor a wlroots.wrap file was found.
Subproject  wlroots is buildable: NO (disabling)
Run-time dependency wlroots found: YES 0.12.0

So you can see that wlroots is found when building sway. If not, sway would simply not build as it's a required dependency. That Dockerfile should reproduce your workflow, and it's working fine. If you can reproduce your problem, please send me a Dockerfile so that I can understand it if I'm missing something.

FROM archlinux/archlinux:base-devel

RUN cd swaybg-git && makepkg -si --noconfirm --needed
RUN git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/sway-git.git
RUN cd sway-git && makepkg -si --noconfirm --needed

I just reproduced this again. I installed wlroots-git, and then installed sway-git. While building sway-git, I get:

Subprojects wlroots: NO Neither a subproject directory nor a wlroots.wrap file was found.

Which means sway-git will be built without wlroots, and nothing would work AFAICT.

@auruser123 are you sure? Could you provide the exact logs?
I cannot reproduce and build wlroots-git-0.12.0.r267.g306cf11d-1 and sway-git-r6581.62ec528c-1 just fine in a clean environment.

with the last wlroots-git , sway-git is built without wlroots, and fails to start citing a missing wayland interface

@cvelteren Are you sure? No problem building wlroots-git-0.12.0.r224.gdc61f471-1 and sway-git r6575.97adba05-1 for me. Maybe the problem has been fixed upstream.

This package fails to build

Aborting..```

Your reasoning feels right; if deleting the build cache breaks the "debug, not stripped" package, then we shouldn't force that option by default. Having a second debug package is safer. Thanks for raising that issue.

Also, @SirCmpwn wrote that contrib scripts should not be included, neither here, nor in the stable package. I’m not here to start a meaningless war, my personal opinion is that the scripts come in handy, and I’m going to follow the stable package on that point.

EDIT: oh, I see there are AUR packages for these scripts. Well… in that case, dropping contrib seems fair.
