Please do not flag package out of date, unless it doesn't build. It's a Git package, the version is computed during the installation.

Since yesterday, zeal-git seems to require tomlplusplus at runtime (pacman -S tomlplusplus, should probably be added to depends).

I'm getting this since system upgrade to QT6.10:

CMake Error at src/libs/ui/qxtglobalshortcut/CMakeLists.txt:45 (target_link_libraries):
  Target "QxtGlobalShortcut" links to:

    Qt6::GuiPrivate

  but the target was not found.  Possible reasons include:

    * There is a typo in the target name.
    * A find_package call is missing for an IMPORTED target.
    * An ALIAS target is missing.

I Think GuiPrivate needs to be added to CMakeLists.txt's find_package and target_link_libraries

I tried simply adding the GuiPrivate library stanzas but the build then fails later on. I've created an issue upstream: https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/issues/1727

I believe AUR package managers already do that.

No, they don't usually.

@SpotlightKid I added provides directive. As to the unclean build root issue, I don't think that is something package needs to address. People should ensure clean build, and I believe AUR package managers already do that.

The PKGBUILD is still missing provides=(${_appname}).

Also, when not building in a clean chroot, CMake will built this app against Qt5 and then the dependencies will be broken.

Here's an improved PKGBUILD: https://cpaste.org/?59647808f770962e#3k98aJY6aKrPtBskmc8nDqJJ4n5vmtLLBbcC2n6U7tBj

@wpd I've never seen that issue. Do you happen to have default Git branch name set globally?

I added #branch=main just in case.

wpd commented on 2023-08-18 01:04 (UTC)

I got a "fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD" ==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to be empty. ==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version:

To fix it, add a #branch=main to the git source

source=("${_appname}::git+https://github.com/zealdocs/${_appname}#branch=main")

I think some build dependencies are missing. I get the following error when trying to build the package:

The PKGBUILD is missing provides=(${_appname}). Without it, it won't satisfy the dependencies of packages depending on zeal.

Something has changed with the upstream repo maybe? Fails to build:

Cloning into 'zeal'... done. warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout ==> Starting pkgver()... fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD ==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to be empty. ==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: error: failed to build 'zeal-git-0.6.1.r271.g6c2160f-1': error: packages failed to build: zeal-git-0.6.1.r271.g6c2160f-1
