@yochananmarqos, of course I realize that there is no "need" to add the conflicts. However, as the maintainer of libinput-gestures I know it can not co-exist with that other package so what is wrong with specifying that conflicts explicitly? I consider it "documentation" within the PKGBUILD about that other package. I can't see any harm adding that explicitly and I don't see anything in the Arch docs prohibiting or recommending against it.

@bulletmark: libinput-gestures-git provides and conflicts with libinput-gestures. There's no need to add any conflicts here as packages already provide and conflict with themselves.

@xiota, this package conflicts with libinput-gestures-git so why should I removed that conflicts?

bulletmark commented on 2023-10-18 01:13 (UTC)

@xiota, if you wanted a response or action then you should have provided a justification + link to give your comment some authority. I saw that post a month ago and just assumed it was random odd unsolicited spammy brain-fart like we often see around here and so ignored it.

Flagged because you did not respond at all to previous comment for a month.

AUR Submission guidelines:

Do not use replaces in an AUR PKGBUILD unless the package is to be renamed

The rename exception does not apply here.

Also, the conflicts should be removed because libinput-gestures-git already provides/conflicts with this package.

@xiota, please provide a reference for your demand. Also, please don't flag a package out of date unless it is actually out of date.

Please remove replaces directive to comply with AUR submission guideline.

@bulletmark, yes, I wouldn't install these two packages together either - no need, but when I decided to try Garuda Linux - that package was part of the input device support meta-package, and installing the usual X11-Gestures+touchegg bundle - I got the described lags when processing gestures. Considering that I have quite a high-performance PC, it's probably not in the load that this software produces on the CPU, but in the fact that these 2 programs simply interfere with each other, trying to process the same events in their own way. Also thanks for the tip - I will definitely describe the issue on the developer's github.

@labaman, I don't see why anybody would ever choose to run libinput-gestures in parallel with touchegg but if they really want to then I don't see they should not be allowed to. libinput-gestures should use tiny CPU etc if you have configured it correctly (apart from whatever the scripts/programs you configure for actions use). It is also standalone and should certainly not conflict in any system sense with any other program. Raise an issue if you think it does.
