Arch Linux User Repository

I uploaded a new release to fix building in 4.20 kernels. The error in make.log related to something removed in 4.20 (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/04cfcc7ab358e331b32cabde1e853a125f3f8735#diff-43768cc89c01c730cb119634b42dfa81).

The functionality wasn't apparently stable enough to be worthwhile. Removing it should have no effect on kernels < 4.20 either.

evdi 1.5.1 is not building for 4.20.0 (manjaro) and maybe 4.19.12 (manjaro).

PS : /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.5.1/build/make.log doesn't exist

I needed to install linux-headers (Possibly should add as a dependency)

You need to upgrade to v1.5.1

Same problem here as for @darose; cannot build evdi DKMS after upgrade to kernel 4.19.1-arch1-1-ARCH. Downgrading kernel to 4.18.16-arch1-1-ARCH helped.

evdi DKMS isn't building successfully after upgrade to kernel 4.19.1.arch1-1:

[2018-11-13 19:14] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> dkms install evdi/1.5.0.2 -k 4.19.1-arch1-1-ARCH

[2018-11-13 19:15] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] Consult /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.5.0.2/build/make.log for more information.

I've updated the package to 1.5.1. Don't know if this should go in the pre release or the full release package, but here is the output from git diff on this package:

When could we expect the 1.5.1 release here?

@PlusMinus This package needs dependency "libdrm" to build in a clean chroot environment. Otherwise, this error is encountered:
