The package needs an update. 0.11.2 is released, and this current version is not compatible with the current wayfire version in the official repos. As leo_sk sent, the PKGBUILD needs to be updated.

Corrected PKGBUILD for latest version:

However, some plugins are now seperated and will need to be installed separately. If you are using -git packages, then you don't need to be here anyways and can install those git packages (pixdecor, focus-request, wayfire-shadows, filters etc) from AUR.

In case you are installing the above pkgbuild, run:

wayfire-plugin install https://github.com/soreau/pixdecor
wayfire-plugin install https://github.com/timgott/wayfire-shadows
wayfire-plugin install https://github.com/soreau/filters
wayfire-plugin install https://gitlab.com/wayfireplugins/focus-request
wayfire-plugin install https://github.com/dkondor/wayfire-scale-ipc

Install only what you need from above. Other plugins can also be installed in similar fashion with github/gitlab repo (provided they are up to date)

Confirming that the packages needing rebuild message goes away after installing wlroots0.17, and actually on another box doing:

pacman -Syu wlroots0.17

Ended up clean. So that's good.

Unfortunately those needing to build for whatever reason will find issues doing so... A patch might be needed so that 0.17 version of wlroots is required, like when wlroots upgraded on arch from 0.16 to 0.17...

Most probably after installing wlroots0.17 the packages needing rebuilding message will no longer include wayfire neither wayfire-plugins-extra, though they still fail to build.

The rebuuild was attempted given:

That while upgrading the box.

@je-vv thanks!

hopefully @aperez can update the PKGBUILD soon

@bermudi, try applying the patch I shared on comment https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wayfire-plugins-extra#comment-949350. The issue you're finding is the same I found some time back, and it's due to wayfire-plugins-extra, latest released version, 0.8.0, depending on wlroots 0.16, while wlroots on official repos moved to 0.17 already. Fortunately wlroots0.16 is also offered.

That said the patch is pretty similar to the one that was required for wayfire and another wayfire related package. I'm not sure why it wasn't applied to wayfire-plugins-extra, when it clearly required a pretty similar change.

I don't know if the package also works on aarch64, as it does on wayfire, but I guess so.

BTW @aperez, notice that I disable most bloated fancy plugins on wayfire, but use one from extra plugins, workspace-names like:

[workspace-names]
HDMI-A-1_workspace_1 = 1
HDMI-A-1_workspace_2 = 2
HDMI-A-1_workspace_3 = 3
HDMI-A-1_workspace_4 = 4

And it's only available from extra plugins. It's pretty light on resources, and it shows the destination workspace name when changing from one workspace to another. Not only this is useful when not using the fancy showing workspaces, but also when not wanting any sort of pager on waybar.

So I really recommend to have wayfire-plugins-extra working as the wayfire one. As it currently is, it doesn't work...

Greetings ! And thanks a lot for these great packages, they have allowed me try wayland before, and finally, I hope, staying on wayland.

Just noticed applying the same changes that ware applied to wayfire (in essence using wlroots0.16) just works out fine. Here the patch:
