It seems debugedit package is a dependency

That repository is not the official repository for this package. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do for that issue, you need to have the appropriate version of libdisplay-info to build this package.

Apparently now the libdisplay-info issue was dealt with, but the repo maintainer also says the repo is unmaintained.

https://github.com/rywng/wlroots-nvidia/issues/1

Mentioned is the possibility of forks etc. but I'm not really finding anything about that. (?)

For me this whole thing started when I relatively recently switched to Sway/Wayland from i3/X. There's no way I'm the only one running a Dell XPS 15 (other other integrated Nvidia situation) and running Sway/Wayland.

Thank you, and it does indeed now compile for me.

Is there any plan to change the libdisplay-info dependency? As for that package I still get:

:: installing libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64' required by wlroots-nvidia

Looks like a fix has been merged upstream, I've bumped to 0.17.4 and am able to build with the libliftoff dependency. Please try again now.

I will review the patch and likely add it today.

raku-cat,

Just returning to this as it's really not been a showstopper for me. I'm mostly tired of excluding this package with every update.

First the ssh was rejected but just to skip past that I cloned over http anyway.

Where did you find this screenshare patch?

Apparently the gitlab requires an account but you have to email about getting registered so I've just done that.

Is there any place besides right here I should be requesting these things fixed properly? The repo or something?

@chrisco23 The easiest way would be to manually build the package rather than an aur helper.
Clone the aur repo somewhere:
git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/wlroots-nvidia.git && cd wlroots-nvidia
Add the contents of the below patch to a file named whatever you want (using libliftoff-fix.patch in the following example), and then edit the PKGBUILD to include this patch.
Edit the source section like so: 

source=(
    "$wl_pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/releases/$pkgver/downloads/wlroots-$pkgver.tar.gz"
    "https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/releases/$pkgver/downloads/wlroots-$pkgver.tar.gz.sig"
    "wlroots-nvidia-screenshare.patch"
    "libliftoff-fix.patch"
)

Add the patch below the existing one in prepare(): 

prepare() {
    patch --directory="$wl_pkgname-$pkgver" --forward --strip=0 \
        --input="$srcdir/wlroots-nvidia-screenshare.patch"
    patch --directory="$wl_pkgname-$pkgver" --forward --strip=0 \
        --input="$srcdir/libliftoff-fix.patch"
}

Run updpkgsums to update the checksums in the PKGBUILD, then build and install with makepkg -i.

@raku-cat oops had posted wrong filename. Can you please give me a little more detail? I've never tried to patch an AUR package. In fact I can't remember the last time I even used "patch". Years and years. Getting old/no memory.

if it matters I'm using sway and yay.
