This PKGBUILD is a work in progress. If you find PACKAGING bugs, please let me know ASAP.

Upstream bugs are to be reported upstream. Check out the emacs-devel archives to confirm if this is an already known bug. In fact... Why are you not subscribed to emacs-devel?. Also check the emacs-bug-tracker archives.

Reporting bugs: Write to the Emacs Bug Tracker and report it there. Or, better yet, use the debbugs client included with the text editor. You will find instructions at https://debbugs.gnu.org/. Good luck!

If you confirm it is a packaging bug, you are welcome to report it here.

Yaourt and other automated tools users BEWARE! This PKGBUILD is written with hand updating in mind and I won't fix bugs arising from such use. Besides, cloning the same repository time and time again from a non-profit such as the GNU Project/FSF gives out a very low image of you.

Nealsid. Instead of polluting this package forum thread section with low quality comments, your fellow AUR users and myself, the maintainer who actually added support for pgtk three years ago, would appreciate if your read makepkg's man page and made yourself familiar with the -p flag.

If anyone wants to build with Wayland support, I had to make the following patch (but I'm not sure how the package version difference snuck in there)

You are soooo GenZ that vou can see beyond your navel.

Second, yes it seems there's a bug that seems to be relatively recent. I've already fixed it in my repository, but... Should I give it to you today, you entitled brat?

This is really inappropriate, and violates Arch code of conduct, see the sections on respect, flaming, and ranting.

in the case of replace, i think it is indeed misused. it is used to replace obsolete packages, emacs obviously is not.1 as said in wiki, alternative package in aur should use conflict and provide instead of replace.

if a user has emacs installed and is using a repo that has this package prebuilt, when doing a Syu there would be prompt like "Replace emacs with emacs-git?[Y/n]", because replace makes pacman think emacs is obsolete. the more resonable behaviour should be prompting conflict issus when user explicitly wants to install emacs-git. this happened in our repo, but if the user only use aur and official repos, that would be fine. 2

@toropisco I am sorry I didn't give enough details, you are right.

Regarding my reply: I just followed your tone, so your advises about emotional intelligence, etc, ain't really on-topic. Your reply about "replaces/conflicts" was something along the lines "RTFM". You could've said "you are wrong because X says this, and Y mentions that, read manual for details". Instead you basically said "go read the docs", which feels like arrogance, so of course I got annoyed and replied sarcastically.

I'm sorry, either way, I am thankful you are maintaining this package.

Sigh. Child, when you want to report a bug, you report a bug with details. Don't start going tangentially and finish with a tantrum full of insults. You are soooo GenZ that vou can see beyond your navel.

First, learn how to report bugs properly. Something along the line: "I have this problem. The details are so and so. I've looked into this and this seems to be the fix". The maintainer may or may not use your fix, but will be thankful that you reported something that needs to be corrected.

Second, yes it seems there's a bug that seems to be relatively recent. I've already fixed it in my repository, but... Should I give it to you today, you entitled brat?

Third, learn to behave socially. I strongly recomment you read these two books:

  1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26329.Emotional_Intelligence

  2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26324.Social_Intelligence

Hi-Angel commented on 2023-02-15 16:09 (UTC)

@Hi-Angel, your request is unreasonable.

So, you claim that it is reasonable that when I tried installing emacs-git I didn't get a query "do you want to remove emacs", and when I out of curiosity pressed "yes, I want to continue", pacman failed with a wall of text about conflicting files?

Ha, alright. Folks, anybody else considers that reasonable as well? Might be the new trend in package management that I missed, sorry 🤷‍♂️

toropisco commented on 2023-02-15 15:19 (UTC)

@Hi-Angel, your request is unreasonable.

Three learning hints:

  1. Install emacs-git; run pacman -Ql on it.

  2. Run pacman -Fy, then run pacman -Fl on emacs.

  3. Compare outputs, giving careful attention to the contents of /usr/bin

Question: Do you see why you are wrong in your assertions and request?

Finally, read PKGBUILD(5) and pacman(8) for further enlightenment.

Cheers.

For some reason while installing this package and having the usual emacs package installed, pacman doesn't see it as a conflict.

I think the replaces=('emacs') needs to be changed to conflicts=('emacs'). It's done this way in i3-git and I confirm that works.
