Due to previous servo-latest installations, you may have permissions warnings while installing like:

warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/lib/servo/resources/
filesystem: 644  package: 755
warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/lib/servo/resources/ahem/
filesystem: 644  package: 755
warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/lib/servo/resources/resource_protocol/
filesystem: 644  package: 755
warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/lib/servo/resources/user-agent-js/
filesystem: 644  package: 755

you will need to pacman -R servo-latest before you install this package. Make sure /usr/lib/servo does not exist before reinstalling. New installs and upgrades and installs following this won't need explicit uninstallation.

An alternate solution is to sudo chmod 755 <all affected directories>

The url of the pkgver() function (and probably the url variable too) should match the one used for the downloaded binary. Currently the pkgver when installed says r20201110-1 (as does the https://servo-builds.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html website) even though the website from the source array download ( https://download.servo.org/ ), which also seems like the official download site, says the binary is from 2021-12-21. The commit info from servo --version is from 2021-12-18 (still newer then 2020-11-10 as implied by the pkgver() ).

Could you change the url(s) to the servor.org ones? :)

Installing gst-plugins-bad fixed the missing libgstplayer-1.0.so.0 for me. Unfortunately I get loads of fontconfig errors, and accompanying garbage font rendering on a fresh install with xfce desktop. No other programs has this problem.

Errors are: Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf", line 5: invalid attribute 'translate'

Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf", line 5: invalid attribute 'selector'

Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf", line 6: invalid attribute 'xmlns:its'

Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf", line 6: invalid attribute 'version'

Same for all conf.d files and attributes.

running servo fails with: /opt/servo/servo: error while loading shared libraries: libgstplayer-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

so, missing dependency?

I think there's an issue on lines 39-40 of the PKGBUILD. $_pkgname does not exist, which results in files ".csh" and ".sh" being created (literally, only dot and extension). Thanks.
