If I rename it to sway-scroll, that possibility becomes harder.

No, that have zero influence on adoption in the official repository, instead correct naming is appreciated :)

Hi Fabio,

Thank you.

I named the package sway-scroll-stable on purpose, hoping that at some point in the future there might be an official package called sway-scroll. If I rename it to sway-scroll, that possibility becomes harder.

  • epoch=1 is not needed for new pkgbuilds

  • Don't have to provide itself
conflicts=('sway-scroll-git')
  • Are only variations that need provides and conflicts sway-scroll
