@GreyXor I always rebuild wlroots-git first before sway-git building. I did that yesterday. I tried again today, two git repositories were updated, it builds fine. Git is git...

maderios you have to build wlroots-git first

with paru you can do : paru -S --rebuild wlroots-git sway-git

The current sed call in pkgver can't deal with the version being 1.11-rc1 instead of 1.10-dev. This breaks the pkgver so that the version is .r7536.0e19d85 instead of 1.11.r7536.0e19d85.

I suggest the following patch to the PKGBUILD:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD

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.
