I'll fix that, about the warning I'm not sure I can do something

Please replace gtk4 with libadwaita in depends. (libadwaita depends on gtk4)
Foliate does not start without it.

Also there is this meson warning:

WARNING: Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of `meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated.

Thanks!

Revisioned to use gtk4 branch

Hello people, I've missed the previous comments, I'll check the pkgbuild this weekend

@JCL813 I wanted to test this out quickly, but it took some more changes to get it to work because the gtk4 branch uses a submodule.

depends=('gtk4' 'gjs>=1.52.0'  'webkit2gtk' 'gettext')

source=("${pkgname%-git}::git+https://github.com/johnfactotum/${pkgname%-git}.git#branch=gtk4" "git+https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate-js.git")

md5sums=('SKIP' 'SKIP')

prepare() {
  cd "$srcdir"/"${pkgname%-git}"
  git submodule init
  git config submodule.src/foliate-js.url "$srcdir/foliate-js"
  git -c protocol.file.allow=always submodule update
}

(as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines#Git_submodules)

I think that

source=("${pkgname%-git}::git+https://github.com/johnfactotum/${pkgname%-git}.git#branch=master")

Should be changed into

source=("${pkgname%-git}::git+https://github.com/johnfactotum/${pkgname%-git}.git#branch=gtk4")

Since the "gtk4" branch is being actively updated and is on version 3.0.0. The "master" branch is on 2.6.4, the same version as the one in the main repository.

Updated PKGBUILD for Version 2.4.2

@darktimesahead: You are welcome.

@Kaliwaal, thank you.

This modified PKGBUILD helped me.
