My PC can't launch Gnome a few days ago so I had to switch to KDE Plasma. I can't verify whether the PKGBUILD works now. Please help maintain these packages if you could, Thanks!

Misses cmake and gi-docgen in makedepends :) Also, I'm getting an error ninja: error: '/usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/org.gnome.Sysprof3.Profiler.xml', needed by 'src/meta-dbus-sysprof3-profiler.c', missing and no known rule to make it while building, can this be fixed somehow?

@jonathon I have edited this package according to your advice. Thanks!

The Mutter package does provide some version of libmutter so including that is a good thing, it just needs to be the matching version. As far as I can tell, the actual soname version is taken care of by makepkg during packaging (e.g. provides=libmutter-10 generates provides=libmutter-10.so=0-64); this means a valid version mismatch will happen when the number changes (and so protect against gnome-shell{-git} breaking).

@saghm Basically, yes, you need to first remove the gnome-shell package with pacman -Rdd gnome-shell and then you can proceed to install both mutter-git and gnome-shell-git. This is due to gnome-shell depending on specific version of libmutter.so, that the mutter package provides, and a possible fix of the situation would be to similarly add it as provides. However, among others, this could result in a situation when user replaces mutter with mutter-git without replacing gnome-shell with gnome-shell-git, which could break their system. I'm open to suggestions and discussion about this though.

I can't figure out how to install this in a system with Gnome already installed. When I try to install it, it fails due to breaking the gnome-shell dependency on the stable version of mutter, but when I try to install them both at the same time, gnome-shell-git can't build without mutter-git already being installed. Is the only way to build/install these to have gnome-shell not installed at all beforehand, or am I missing something?
