I looked through the aur guidelines, but I did not see anything that could prohibit using a locally installed typescript, so it's now possible to build without downgrading the system typescript package.

If upstream updates to v6, I think I'm going to set it back to the system package.

Made a bin version from the upstream release, if that is easier. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/weylus-community-bin

@Zorn It should be fixed now. I needed to update the Cargo.lock file with a patch because the Weylus package version was still at the old version.

@briellabugs Please downgrade the system typescript package to a version before v6.0, then manually build it. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Downgrading_packages

Note: I recommend this tool: https://github.com/archlinux-downgrade/downgrade

Issue #26 has been resolved (see https://github.com/electronstudio/WeylusCommunityEdition/issues/26).

But now there's another one: attempting to install weylus-community-git using an AUR helper (such as yay) results in the following error

error: cannot update the lock file /home/prof/.cache/yay/weylus-community-git/src/weylus/Cargo.lock because --locked was passed to prevent this help: to generate the lock file without accessing the network, remove the --locked flag and use --offline instead.

"Weylus requires typescript 5.5.4 to build - it's incompatible with 6.0. You should probably contact the maintainer of the AUR package."

@Creeperman3000 Updated for missing makedepends and depends. It should now be in line with the main Weylus-git package. Also, the desktop file should install correctly now.

I have noticed that this package is not properly maintained. I have the latest build (2025.11.4.fd1f1f1) locally. Please submit a patch or add me as a co-maintainer to push the update.

Sorry, I didn't notice this optional dependency.

CsiPA0723 commented on 2024-10-31 19:40 (UTC)

@beroal

The gst-plugin-pipewire is already referenced as an optional dependency. Although maybe I should modify the comment that if you use pipewire you also need it not just for wayland support.

Do you think I should just add it as a required dependency?
