Switched to default to cuda disabled (no nvenc) because cuda is a heavy package and Nvidia users are minority on Linux.

Nvidia users, install cuda manually before building or run as _build_cuda=t makepkg (method to pass variables to AUR helpers may vary).

Comments here are for matters related to this AUR package only. Discussion of upstream issues should take place upstream. The upstream link is in package details.

For those concerned about "losing" upstream support for AUR, such support had already officially been discontinued long ago. The relevant comment from 2023-02-21 is pinned.

Before reporting issues to upstream, confirm them with git checkout or upstream binaries. Properly confirmed bugs do not need to mention AUR.

Package-specific issues should be reported here.

In order to simplify maintenance of Sunshine, we have decided to drop support of this AUR package, since we are now publishing a pre-compiled pkg.tar.zst package as well as the PKGBUILD file to our GitHub releases. If someone would like to take over the AUR it would be ideal if there is communication with us in our Discord. Please reach out if you're interested. Thanks!

@Fael Thanks for reporting. Should build now. Don't know if function is affected. If so, help identifying relevant upstream commits would be appreciated.

The build seems to be broken after the last system update. Here’s the log.

@HatsuneCthulhu The problem with making more packages is the difficulty of keeping them all synced and updated. It may be considered, but I don't expect major problems. Users who are currently using nvenc would need to have cuda already installed. They should be able to rebuild without change in functionality.

For those interested, usage on Linux from Steam Hardware Survey, June 2024:

  • AMD 62.71%
  • Intel 9.29%
  • Nvidia 17.54%
  • Other 7.84%

Stats list individual devices. Rounding error doesn't fully account for difference from 100% (2.62%). Possibly, lesser used cards from major manufacturers were dropped from the list.

Glad to see you took the user feedback onboard. Might I suggest potentially splitting the AUR package into sunshine and sunshine-nvenc if it's going to cause issues for nvidia users when trying to update?

Or maybe sunshine-nvidia might be a better name

Forgot to push the update. cuda should be disabled by default now.

fabian-ang commented on 2024-07-17 14:34 (UTC)

This still defaults to cuda enabled. Only when running as _build_cuda=false makepkg -s pacman does not try to install cuda

Pretty sure most people on linux are probably using AMD, this basically makes the AUR package redundant if we're expected to maintain variables in the PKBUILD everytime we want to update.

@shogeki cuda is a makedep, required to build the package. It may be uninstalled after building. This was omitted by the previous maintainers and the cause of complaint that this package is "partially broken".

cuda is a heavy package (1.7G download, 4.8G installed). Options could be added to allow users to skip it. The PKGBUILD would be more complicated. cuda enabled would stay the default

Update: Set _build_cuda=f to skip cuda.
