This conflicts with wlroots but wlroots is a dependency for wf-shell-git which means we can't currently install wayfire-git and wf-shell-git at the same time. What is the best way to solve this conflict?

@lama_reborn your requests have been implemented.

I would to point out a minor issue here. If you use wlroots-git package you might end up not being able to compile wayfire. Reason is stated on wayfire.org webpage - they are not able to precisely keep up with upstream wlroots project. For that reason they created git subproject in wayfire git that points to the latest wlroots commit wayfire functions with. Here you can see it: https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/tree/master/subprojects

After finding that out and not being entirely happy about this package I prepared another AUR package that compiles with build-type=release (which turns on compiler optimizations), compiles wlroots subproject and wf-config subproject and has X11 as optional dependency. Since it was promptly marked as duplicate and deleted from AUR I am not going to bother arguing that and will just put the changes here. Feel free to adopt parts of it or nothing at all.

Also thanks for maintaining this.

@cock Check /usr/bin/arch-meson, which this PKGBUILD uses, which already selects a buildtype appropriate for packaging.

can you please add: buildtype=release or otherwise starting wayfire takes ages(confirmed the problem is this) because it's a debug build

(please do this in your other packages too)

kaneki commented on 2021-11-18 20:56 (UTC)

Yup, the repo has been changed back to the original url.

CrezyDud commented on 2021-11-17 13:27 (UTC)

you can change the git repo back to 'git+https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire.git' changes for wlroots have been merged

CrezyDud commented on 2021-10-30 13:31 (UTC)

version number is wrong keeps updating over and over, because the version number doesn't update

PedroHLC commented on 2021-10-19 18:14 (UTC)

The 0.7.x branch contains more commits to keep compatibility with wlroots 0.12, they are not meant for master.

https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/pull/1069

That's why master is still tagging as 0.6.0.

SolarAquarion commented on 2021-09-30 17:22 (UTC)

Basically my feeling is that wayfire master wasn't tagged, only the 0.7.x branch is tagged
