@shrisha: I was stating the actions the maintainer would need to apply, but you could apply them to your local copy of the PKGBUILD before makepkg building it yourself as well.
Basically, you just need to git clone the read-only repository linked at the top of this page, and modify the PKGBUILD in a text editor. Find the line with the provides
declaration, and add gnome-shell=$epoch:$pkgver
to the setting, after the existing gnome-shell=$pkgver
. Strangely, I have no such thing in my local chaotic-aur built copy, yet the gnome-shell-extension-arc-menu-git
package installs just fine with this package and mutter-performance
.
Maybe also try the chaotic-aur
repository builds first? Assuming they even work with Manjaro. I have no idea what's up with forks of Arch, and they tend to break random things, hence users are asked to consult Manjaro's support resources for their specific issues.

If you have a problem during any system update with
mutter-performance
&gnome-shell-performance
, please installmutter
&gnome-shell
packages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use gnome-shell-performance-unstable
To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)
If you are getting errors like
fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32'
while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.Please notify me in comment section if this happens.
The optional patches for performance and fixes are by default enabled.
A package for mutter(compositor) performance patches: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mutter-performance/
