Arch Linux User Repository

There is no new tagged (or otherwise differentiable) version to update to. Existing bumps to arbitrary revisions have been done whenever I get around to it to avoid the package falling into complete disrepair (which would cause it to be deleted and most likely recreated by some third party) and to make sure that people who don't pay attention don't get a version that is years out of date. The actual package has always been ladybird-git, and that will remain the case for the foreseeable future as well.

I agree with @timschumi. "Doesn't build in my dirty build environment" because you don't use extra-x86_64-build, makechrootpkg or an AUR helper that supports building in a clean build environment is not the responsibility of the maintainer to fix. The issue with building in a clean chroot provided by paru should be reproducable, though and I personally would fix such issues, even if it's not an officially supported way (Idk if it's already fixed). FWIW, ladybird builds fine in my CI/CD (build log) and if you don't want to have an effort building it yourself, you can download the built pkg from my user repo https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories#oscloud

@timschumi The latest version contains paths that I guess aren't belonging into the pkg:

pacman -Fyl ladybird 
<omitted>
ladybird usr/usr/
ladybird usr/usr/Tests/
ladybird usr/usr/Tests/LibMedia/
ladybird usr/usr/Tests/LibMedia/avc_in_matroska.mkv
ladybird usr/usr/Tests/LibMedia/master_elements_containing_crc32.mkv
ladybird usr/usr/Tests/LibMedia/vp9_4k.webm
ladybird usr/usr/Tests/LibMedia/vp9_clamp_reference_mvs.webm
ladybird usr/usr/Tests/LibMedia/vp9_in_webm.webm
ladybird usr/usr/Tests/LibMedia/vp9_oob_blocks.webm

In case you don't already do so, please always check the built pkgs with namcap for packaging errors before uploading the updated PKGBUILD.

It is not helpful that this "works fine" for you in a Docker container

Neither is "this doesn't work on my machine". What am I supposed to do, magically fix an issue that I can't reproduce?

As far as I am aware, my Docker setup [1] represents the minimal set of packages that AUR packages should assume, and it still works fine. If you can find a way to reproduce the issue within a modified version of that, then I'll be happy to take a look.

as installing this package with an AUR helper does not build this in a Docker container for anyone else.

Maybe they should.

PS: On the topic of AUR wrappers, the Arch Wiki clearly states:

AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux. You should become familiar with the manual build process in order to be prepared to troubleshoot problems.

@timschumi this AUR package still does not build with 20240716-1. It is not helpful that this "works fine" for you in a Docker container as installing this package with an AUR helper does not build this in a Docker container for anyone else.

Building works fine here in a clean Docker container.

Unable to get ladybird 20240711-1 to build, but had no issue building ladybird 20240702-1.

Got the following error:

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja".
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.

And ninja is installed:

$ which ninja
/sbin/ninja
$ ninja --version
1.12.1

I have a hard time building ladybird in a chroot of paru. It seems to have trouble finding Ninja, despite being a build dependency.

Maybe you could take a look at it:

Let's wait until the new build process has stabilized, last I heard was that there might still be some moving-around of certain parts.
