Arch Linux User Repository

There's a bunch of patches in the gentoo rep that could be included, esp. the one that fixes use_system libxml.

Other bits…

• use_system ffmpeg has been working for a long time again

• libvpx & libwebp should also work

• if you reduce the build commands in build() to ninja, ie. move the rest into prepare(), you can restart (makepkg -e) the compilation just fine if it crashed (out of memory etc. – recommend running with "earlyoom -m 2") – assuming it did start. If one compiles in /tmp it may also be worthwhile to prepend it with "rm -f tools/clang/crashreports/*", as those reports can be large in size (or at least were during the 'jumbo' period).

• this patch… https://pastebin.com/6nb1LwmU …addresses three issues I had:

• ccache wouldn't actually work with the PKGBUILD no matter what I tried (check "ccache -s" during chromium compilation and see if the counters actually change). I had to "patch" it in – "" as the comment in that gni has it seem like that's actually the intended way nowadays. CCACHE_CPP2 isn't needed, btw.

• I can build/run with use_system icu just fine after these changes (bogus dependency & hardcoded include that the unbundle script forgets).

• These two media/gpu/test lines (again bogus dependency) needed to be removed or else compilation wouldn't start.

I never test

Does this package work with swaywm (wayland) ?

Are the patches updated?

I think there is another error with this variable name:

...
_use_wayland=0           # Build Wayland NOTE: extremely experimental and don't work at this moment
...
if [ "${_wayland}" = "1" ]; then
...

I think I know what the problem is with the last error: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=964411#c15

If I compile with gn works but it fails with gn-git due this change.

It doesn't compile. Problem with vulkan:

you need spirv-headers as a make dependency
