I'm planning to move this to the official repositories. In order to base our package on your PKGBUILD, we'll need you to license it under 0BSD, see https://rfc.archlinux.page/0040-license-package-sources/.
Could you add a 0BSD license file to the repository? Alternatively, run
pkgctl license setupand it will do it for you.Thanks for maintaining this so far!

I think maybe we should add socat as a dependency, as apparently it's not present on all systems by default, and so the mpvpaper backend can't work without it.

Waypaper stable (2.7) doesn't support awww until upstream releases new version. Use
-gitversion if need the latest.https://github.com/anufrievroman/waypaper/issues/254

Can you update as this doesn't work with the latest hyprpaper version 0.8.1.

This is currently not working with hyprpaper-git because a merge on 12/4/2025 in hyprpaper removed support for image preload/unload.
I have submitted a PR to fix this for users of hyprpaper-git without breaking functionality for the stable hyprpaper package: https://github.com/anufrievroman/waypaper/pull/229

@metak. Do you see a chance to update the PKGBUILD to waypaper 2.3? This includes many great new features that I want to include into my dotfiles.
