Now that stable 4.17 release is out, this mudlet-git package has been switched to using Qt6 instead of 5, since Qt6 is future. Currently it builds and seems to work with few caveats: 1) qt6-multimedia which is needed for sound in Mudlet is still a work in progress, thus at this moment sounds won't work, 2) since this is the first time cmake build is used, it seems that some of the 3rd party dependancies that are built during compilation are being built using hardcoded system paths (libraries like libqslog.so need to be exactlx in /usr/lib or Mudlet won't start even though it compiles and installs successfully), so keep in mind for potential conflicts. As a consequence of those hardcoded paths, this package now installs with /usr prefix and can no longer be installed alongisde stable mudlet. Other than that, please let me know if there are other problems. :)

Since Mudlet devs could use all help with testing Mudlet before new releases, decided to recreate mudlet-git package. Please test and report bugs to Mudlet devs over on Github (https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/issues) or join the Mudlet's discord channel and whine at them there. ;)

Just a small dependancy update, lua51-utf8 is now in [community] as lua51-luautf8.

Moved to better versioning ( latest_revision.latest_commit), previously it relied on latest git tag (4.6.1) which was very old and might have confused people given that stable version is much higher. AUR helpers might warn you about downgrade, but it isn't.

Can now be installed side by side with stable Mudlet, this one is installed in /opt/mudlet, has it's own icon and desktop file.

Was a bit overzealous with versioning, now it looks more reasonable. Also, now using system qtkeychain.
