@samhh My bad, I had to fix the way the symlink is created since it was not recognised as a file owned by the package by pacman, but the error you experience was a side effect of this fix, at least when upgrading from a previous version to 5.3.0-3.

It should be enough to uninstall vieb and re-install it, though; I just tested it.

Vieb can run as a native Wayland app with hardware GPU support and WebRTCPipeWireCapturer enabled by copying the included vieb.desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications.desktop and updating the Exec= line:

Exec=/opt/Vieb/vieb --force_low_power_gpu --ignore-gpu-blacklist --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WebRTCPipeWireCapturer,VaapiVideoDecoder --ozone-platform=wayland

@MithicSpirit you're right; I will try to merge this into vieb-bin and adopt it, since the maintainer hasn't responded when I tried to contact them regarding the binary symlink a while ago.

I think a package building from source isn't necessary as the release cycle has been steady so far.

This should be a -bin package as it does not require any compilation (even though it is possible since this is open source, see the AUR submission rules for more info). I realize that vieb-bin already exists (and appears to no longer be maintained), but you can try to request the current maintainer for co-maintainership, or, if that fails, submit an orphan request.

That worked, cheers @BachoSeven!

5.3.0-1 to 5.3.0-3 fails with the following for me:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
vieb: /usr/bin/vieb exists in filesystem

@BachoSeven Cheers! Didn't realise that was also prebuilt.

@samhh in the meantime, you can use the vieb package I created, which uses the .pacman tarball and is updated to v5.3.0

FWIW as far as I can tell 5.x works with the same PKGBUILD if you just update version and checksum.

.pacman is not affiliated with Arch, it's a custom packaging extension similar to .deb/.tar
