Add Electron-Ozone about packages HOT 11 CLOSED

Nope, I can't and won't build packages with downgraded dependencies. Even in a chaotic repo we have to keep some quality!

It seems like the upstream package is using this GN: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gn-m85
AUR's package maintainer should use it too...

EDIT: I'll be trying to build with it, if it works I'll request changes in the AUR...

*EDIT2: Here's the failure log with gn-m85: https://lonewolf.pedrohlc.com/chaotic-aur/makepkglogs/_lab/electron-ozone.log

No worries, you told me on Telegram some days ago.
Following the Electron development, I saw (and tested) that we can already use the Chromium flags to enable Wayland thanks to Ozone in their nightly build. This will probably land on version 12 iirc. We will not need this soon enough.

😢 I've been trying to build this package for ages.

Fellow Wayland user here...

What errors are you getting?

from packages.

I used to have compilation problems related to upstream issues, now it just won't start building cause there isn't any gn<0.1809 in the repos 😄

from packages.

Have you tried modifying the PKGBUILD from

makedepends=('git' 'gn<0.1809' 'gperf' 'harfbuzz-icu' 'java-runtime-headless'
             'jsoncpp' 'libnotify' 'lld' 'llvm' 'ninja' 'npm' 'pciutils' 'yarn'
             'python2' 'wget' 'yasm' 'python2-setuptools' 'libpipewire02' 'nodejs'
             'openh264')

to

makedepends=('git' 'gn' 'gperf' 'harfbuzz-icu' 'java-runtime-headless'
             'jsoncpp' 'libnotify' 'lld' 'llvm' 'ninja' 'npm' 'pciutils' 'yarn'
             'python2' 'wget' 'yasm' 'python2-setuptools' 'libpipewire02' 'nodejs'
             'openh264')

Edit: Sorry about the issue closure - missclick.

Edit2: I tried to build it myself but I ran into what appears an easily solvable problem with some library declarations/imports but unfortunately I have never used this framework.

Just an update,

This log is generated from the daily attempts: https://lonewolf.pedrohlc.com/chaotic-aur/makepkglogs/_daily/electron-ozone.log

@PedroHLC make it do first:

pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/g/gn/gn-0.1731.5ed3c9cc-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Also, for more info, check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive#How_to_downgrade_one_package

@PedroHLC Just as a side note, I left my pc compiling all night and I woke up with a successfully created electron-ozone with the old version of gn that I linked.

It seems it might not be needed after all.

Sorry, I forgot to close this one, we have it building for more than a month...
Do note that building it usually fails (like it did today): https://lonewolf.pedrohlc.com/chaotic-aur/makepkglogs/_daily/electron-ozone.log
