Hi cipher699, I've added your changes as well as enabled the web client. It makes sense that this version should have the same options enabled as the official package.

Hi, thanks everyone for updating the PKGBUILD. I think these changes are also needed.

And can we add the web client, since transmission-cli in the main repo has it. And this can be the git version of it.

I've updated the package. Other people here are probably better versed in AUR packaging and/or transmission than I am, so let me know if there's anything it should change. You may have to delete cached sources from a previous version if you're rebuilding.

It seems like the bug in the "small" library has been patched in the transmission upstream master, so the patch is no longer necessary. glitsj16's PKGBUILD without the patch still did not work, but I changed the command in package() from make to ninja and it worked. Thanks to glitsj16 for the help.

I think libsmall needs to be added to the submodules unpacked in prepare(), viz.

    git config submodule.third-party/small.url "$srcdir/small"
[...]
    git -c protocol.file.allow=always submodule update \
[...]
    third-party/small

Will resolve when I get home. Sorry for delay.

Update co-maintainer list @glitsj16 -- you have been added.

(Sorry I dont have any other time right now)

@cephian Did you use the latest revision of my PKGBUILD? Those libsmall errors should have been fixed in revision 6. Upstream has a fix for building from git (https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/5743) but that isn't merged yet. Feel free to post your errors somewhere and we can have a look what's going on. Also, don't worry about co-maintainership. Although I do appreciate people's comments about it, the main thing for me personally is getting a properly working PKGBUILD out to AUR users.

As a co-maintainer myself (who was added because I fixed something in the comments) I don't seem to have permissions to add another co-maintainer. I would be happy to update the package but glitsj16's fixed PKGBUILD still does not build for me. In particular I seem to get errors building libsmall which complain about uintptr not being defined in src/transmission/third-party/small/include/small/detail/exception/scope_guard.hpp. I tried to just patch this manually but it still failed at a later stage of compilation. I'm not sure if I have the bandwidth to debug this myself, but if someone helps or posts a PKGBUILD which works on my system I will update this package.

cipher699 commented on 2023-07-07 04:35 (UTC)

I agree with @yar, @glitsj16 should be the co-maintainer. I had sent a mail to current maintainer on 26 Jun.

yar commented on 2023-07-07 04:07 (UTC)

tbh when someone shows the initiative glitsj16 has, you should just add them as a co-maintainer

glitsj16 commented on 2023-06-21 05:59 (UTC)

Updated my PKGBUILD referenced in earlier comment to account for upstream's recent commit.
