Edit: Nevermind. It did just take a bit of waiting.
Updating this bumps the version up to wlroots-git 0.18.0.r6693.5dd614b9a-1 at the moment. And building sway-git complains about it needing a versions lower than 0.18.0. Is this a case of me just needing to wait a little until the versions match again? Or is manual intervention required? Sorry, I'm inexperienced when it comes to building packages.
It would be nice to include the displaylink patch https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/uploads/b4f932e370ed03d88f202191eaf60965/DisplayLink.patch
The whole discussion
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/1823
It’s making wlroots working with Displaylink/evdi
Install AUR libdisplay-info will fix the problem.

Run-time dependency libdisplay-info found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
Looking for a fallback subproject for the dependency libdisplay-info

needs libdisplay-info as a dependency
This does not need a dependency on vulkan-validation-layers. After https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/3850 WLR_RENDERER=vulkan works fine without that package.
@teacher4711 you may enter src/wlroots-git and run git checkout xxx to that specified version of commit
Use git log to show all commits
Build with makepkg -e to apply changes. Without -e makepkg will re-extract everything
Sorry for asking, but:
The package version is: pkgver=0.16.0.r5511.e59f4d4f
The build version is: wlroots-git 0.17.0.r5921.4ff46e6c-1
river-git needs 0.16 - Can I force building 0.16?
Thanks for maintaining the package!
Cheers Michael
Some how meson was not installed as a dependency:
==> Starting pkgver()...
/home/user/.cache/pikaur/build/wlroots-git/PKGBUILD: line 55: meson: command not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in pkgver().
Aborting...
@q234rty should be fixed now.
Latest commit seems to break pkgver() again?

IMPORTANT
Please do not flag this package as out-of-date if the only change you need is to update to a newer version. It is not needed because it always fetches the sources using Git and uses the most recent version without needing to modify the PKGBUILD — just rebuild the package.
Also, please try building in a clean chroot before assuming that the PKGBUILD is broken.
