If you're having trouble installing xlibre-server due to circular dependencies, follow this procedure:

yay -S xlibre-server-bootstrap
yay -S xlibre-input-libinput
yay -S xlibre-server

Similarly, to revert:

pacman -S xorg-server xf86-input-libinput

This is an unfortunate reality of building AUR packages with circular dependencies from source. I don’t like this solution, but at least it's a solution.

I'm also considering an alternative approach: having xlibre-server provide xlibre-server-bootstrap, so that packages needing to build against xlibre-server can list xlibre-server-bootstrap as a makedepends instead. If you're knowledgeable about this or have a good argument for or against it, I’d appreciate your input.

Very much look forward to yolo this, just want to confirm.

  1. It's not gonna irreparably mess up my X-Server config if I need to roll back?

  2. Is the full installation handled by the 3 aur packages? I saw the GH mentions recompiling certain things but I think it's auto-magically covered here yea?

My system ( i3 + Xfce4 + Nvidia970 {proprietary diver} )
