Arch Linux User Repository

Should be working now. Let me know.

I'll fix it today.

You can adopt the package and apply all the needed changes. I do not use Sway any more, so I can't test the changes and ensure they are appropriate.

can somebody update the package with @thotypous patch ?

The following patch fixes the issue reported by @danshick. Please apply:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index 745a53e..dbac880 100644
--- a/PKGBUILD

arch-meson is breaking this build by setting --auto_features=enabled. It needs to be set back to auto so that our build can detect if you are using systemd, elogind, or basu. You could also manually specify a logind provider with -Dsd-bus-provider=systemd or similar.

Build currently fails with

xdg-desktop-portal-wlr-git/meson.build:31:1: ERROR: Assert failed: sd-bus-provider must not be set to auto since auto_features != auto

Yeah this is a circular dependency issue that occurs only at build time (if you build the package, remove the other implementation and install the package it will work). Maybe I should remove the dependency on xdg-desktop-portal so that the package builds without installing another implementation, but then you'll still have to ensure xdg-desktop-portal is installed.

Keep in mind that you still need a -gtk/-kde implementation in most cases anyway. Portals are free to implement a subset of features, if you have multiple installed it will use wlr first and then fill the gaps with the other portals.

For example, the "file chooser" portal is not provided by the -wlr portal impl, so you won't be able to use Flatpaks that use this feature unless you install another implementation as well.

Hi,

I feel this package is still not installable using package managers like yay or aurman and I had an issue using makepkg directly. Indeed, it looks for xdg-desktop-portal which looks for xdg-desktop-portal-impl. As the wlr is not listed, we'll be asked to install either kde either gtk. Is there a way to install only wlr?

See https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/issues/49 for more details about this.

Thanks @Depau for the detailed comment. Installing -kde actually solves the issue I had.

Thanks, much appreciated. Now if users raise issues, we'll have a convenient way to get them onto master with debugging symbols present.
