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Please do not flag this package as out-of-date if the only change you need is to update to a newer version.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.

The provides version info for libwlroots.so is wrong and the version info for wlroots is missing completely.

Version info for provides for .so files seems to be automatically provided by makepkg (taken from the SONAME of the library). This is also what the community package for wlroots does (wlroots currently has libwlroots.so=9-64, wlroots-git would have libwlroots.so=10-64 with the automatic versioning)

Fix below:

now it works again, thanks!

@primalmotion: thanks, I overlooked the fact that *-git packages should provide the original package.

I can't update to the latest change:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

@junglerobba done, thanks!

Can the seatd dependency be changed to libseat so it works with the package from the community repo? seatd on the AUR also provides libseat, so that way it works with both packages.

can confirm the package needs libseat. https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2844

@codicodi the PKGBUILD also needs to be edited to enable libseat. Maybe the maintainer should change it?

With https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/pull/2786 merged, wlroots needs libseat for session management. It seams to be available in AUR as https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/seatd/
