Building and using Litecoin 0.21.2 requires fmt, so please add fmt to depends. The build documentation hasn't been update yet to reflect the new dependency, but this has already been reported.

As a side note, has anybody managed to build version 0.21.2 in a clean chroot? When building in a clean chroot, I get the following error:

Building the package normally works without problems though.

@rpodgorny: You can use makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO to easily ensure the .SRCINFO file is up to date.

Could you please match the pkgrel in PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO? Thank you.

It's building now, when it's built, I'll check. But I think everything should work. UPD: The icon is displayed.

ok, please try this version.

ico container files are not supported by the freedesktop icon theme specs [1] although it works somehow.

Nevertheless they should probably be converted to a png file using convert <icon name>.ico <icon name>.png or icotool -x <icon name>.ico as stated by the wiki [2].

@BlitGaming you can now try this version. i don't use any desktop environment myself so i can't tell...

In the file .desktop has a path to the icon, but there is no icon. Please fix it)

i've added the boost patch to make it compile again...

...still, this is kind of against the arch policy of being as much upstream as possible. :-( ...so please be sure to also kick the upstream developers! ;-)

The package no longer builds with the latest version of Boost (1.78) because of the following issue: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/issues/743
