Arch Linux User Repository

I have added kdsingleapplication to the depends section of the PKGBUILD. Please let me know if anything else is missed!

Seems like kdsingleapplication (https://github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko/commit/8ea03e41e063314ea712f4b81db80c2a4cd85c2d) should be added as a dep, the package fails to built without it.

The issue is that currently the arch version of spdlog does not work with fmt 10.1.0, see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/79387. One can either patch system spdlog w/ https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/commit/62a4b8ce4ee985e7c7f3c2bbce2195634c5d7ae3, or one can downgrade fmt to 10.0.0, build nheko-git and then upgrade fmt back to 10.1.0.

yeah, i am getting the same error as the last person, something is broken :(

Has anyone managed to build this recently? I'm getting errors during compilation.

Switching to system coeurl just moves the problem to the next bundled library until at some point is not possible to progress. The problem might be related to spdlog but using bundled or system spdlog has no difference. Enabling hunter allows nheko to finish building but then segfault at startup.

Dependencies are out of date, the package requires gst-plugin-pipewire, otherwise it throws "Missing GStreamer elements: pipewiresrc" error at runtime.

Now that nehko is coming to arch proper (https://archlinux.org/packages/community-testing/x86_64/nheko/) I wonder if nheko-git can be changed to be installable in parallel to that? That would greatly improve the beta testing workflow where you can keep a stable version of nheko installed that's supposed to always work and then still can test the current development state.

They'd need to not share their profiles/sessions then as well. Thoughts?

Edit: After discussion in the nheko room it seems that using profiles for the separation of user data should be good enough, which leaves changing the package to not conflict with nheko proper. I have the following patch, which also changes the icon, name and patches the desktop file to launch into the git profile directly. Adapting this fully would require users to either migrate their profile data manually or sign in again in the new profile. The icon is from the nehko room (downscaled with `convert --size AxA to all the required sizes.)

Everyone! If you have updated nheko-git sometime after commit fa0c14b84 but before commit 1a9f7860, I highly recommend you rebuild! There was an issue where sending 'confetti' messages could cause the message to get stuck, which would break sending any additional messages in that room.
