Yeah, works without issues with 6.15 after my fix was merged. It's the non-git version that now fails to build with 6.15. Maybe it's time to switch as 6.15.1 is already in testing?

Will not build on 6.15 even though a merge has been made. Will build when pulling from git repo directly.

@Lawstorant Regardless of timing, the request to make firmware optional was independently valid. This package includes a module
xone-wiredthat does not require the firmware.Lawstorant commented on 2025-04-14 09:40 (UTC)
The request to make firmware optional coincides wit the date where you took over the maintaining of the firmware packages and added like a million haskell dependencies by mistake. I could understand if that WERE still the case.

Whether firmware is optional makes no difference to me, but I wouldn't characterize it as a "mistake". It's common for modules and firmware to be split with only optdeps connecting them. Installing firmware is ultimately user responsibility, which some might even prefer to manage without an additional AUR package. I assume the user who requested that the firmware be made optional is managing fine without it.
Switching forks will be considered when the stable package stops working. Feel free to flag it when that happens. Before then, there's no need to force people who still want to use the medusalix version to switch.

And I must say, I do not agree with the notion that the firmware is optional. It's not just for wireless controllers, but for everything wireless (like headsets) and the vast majority of supported devices are wireless.
Another thing is that the driver doesn't handle missing firmware cleanly and still asks for it. It's in no way designed to work with the firmware missing just like other drivers that rely on firmware (amdgpu is one such example).
That fact that it's a separate package comes solely to licensing differences.
I think making it optional was a mistake.

Okay, it will be broken in about 6-7 weeks when 6.15 lands as 6.15 introduced breaking changes. I already created a fix for the active fork. I don't think keeping it alive longer that that would make sense. dlundqvist should just create 0.4.0 release soon.

The firmware is required for the wireless controller, but some people with wired controllers want to build fewer packages.
As far as the stable package is concerned, it can stay pinned to the medusalix repo until people start complaining that it isn't working anymore.

@xiota why is the dongle firmware an optional dependency? It's required to work.
