For now, people should install the non-git version of this package (plymouth). It builds and is working fine.

I'm sorry, all, but I don't think I have the time/energy to figure this one out right now. So if anyone else wants to have a crack at this, let me know - I will keep trying to keep this package buildable, but don't really know what to do right now to actually make it work.

segfault here too as @eternalfloof commented. Is there any way to downgrade?

The latest upstream plymouth-git segfaults when running on my machine, so I would avoid upgrading at this point in time:

                Stack trace of thread 868:

Note that this does NOT appear to be the fault of the latest PKGBUILD revision. I can repro the bug on the previous November 14 PKGBUILD as well. Instead, the issue appears to be due to the latest commits checked into plymouth. Git bisect points to a few possible commits (some intermediate commits weren't bootable)

only skipped commits left to test
possible first bad commit: [8b1669acb200c487f9205ed93ffe3da744946d97] device-manager: Support kernels with CONFIG_VT=n
possible first bad commit: [2165fe4f3b50cd9b452023e857e7bf277ca82001] Merge branch 'dev_input' into 'main'
possible first bad commit: [dacfb36b5714cd34791ab85d72629886075ff492] Add input device support

It's not clear to me if this is a packaging bug or an upstream bug. I tried creating an account on gitlab.freedesktop.org to report but their email validation appears to be down :(

doesn't seem to work with a custom theme after last update

The package is not buildable in a clean chroot environment (22.02.122.r117.gca15d30c) Meson is missing the runtime dependencies of libevdev and libxkbcommon.

Run-time dependency libevdev found: NO (tried pkgconfig)

plymouth/meson.build:46:0: ERROR: Dependency "libevdev" not found, tried pkgconfig

Run-time dependency xkbcommon found: NO (tried pkgconfig)

plymouth/meson.build:47:0: ERROR: Dependency "xkbcommon" not found, tried pkgconfig

Upstream has merged meson support; PKGBUILD has to be re-written to use meson instead of the previous scripts.

Just did a system update and plymouth-git failed to build:

Well, the comment editor doesn't like copy-paste, just dumps a wall of text without line breaks. Here's the end of it:

==> Starting build()...

/usr/src/aur/plymouth-git/PKGBUILD: line 69: ./autogen.sh: No such file or directory

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

Aborting...

-> error making: plymouth-git

And there doesn't appear to be an autogen.sh script. Looking at the sources, plymouth appears to be using the meson build system.

The plymouth.initcpio_install script needs to have ${FONT} stuff quoted to account for fonts with spaces in the name.
