Arch Linux User Repository

I'm going to try that. Thanks!

Edit: Yup, that did the trick!

@megadriver: Nope, not really... Can you try building in a clean chroot? Maybe there is some whacky interaction with some other package that you have installed.

When trying to build, I get this:

Error: Could not parse document:
 I/O  warning :  failed to load external entity "legal.xml"
 /home/repo/gdm-plymouth/src/build/../gdm/docs//C/index.docbook:84:  parser  error :  Failure to process entity legal
     &legal;
            ^

 /home/repo/gdm-plymouth/src/build/../gdm/docs//C/index.docbook:84:  parser  error :  Entity 'legal' not defined
     &legal;
            ^

Any ideas?

This package can be updated to 3.32 with minimal changes. Anyone struggling: modify the pkgver in the PKGBUILD to be 3.32.0 and change the first value in the sha256sums to be 'SKIP' and make the package - it builds the new version with no issues.

Any updates on 3.32?

I got a build error, do you have any idea how to resolve it ?

I tried to build this without having gobject-introspection installed and it failed to build. Could you add this as a dependency?

Here's the PKGBUILD I made following cg505's instructions: https://gist.github.com/undu/db2a6a75cb3f17b35bcf232e1a51eeb3

It works on my system ;)

For those upgrading to 3.30.0: it is not sufficient to just bump pkgver. You will get filesystem conflicts in pacman for /lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules. This file should be in /usr/lib/... instead. For this you need this commit, which is on master but not on a release yet. The extra/gdm build includes this commit.

git.gnome.org is GONE! They have moved everything over to GitLab. Please update the tarball to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/archive/3.28.0/gdm-3.28.0.tar.gz (they also have .tar.bz2 but no .tar.xz). It seems to work after updating the source URL and checksum.
