Arch Linux User Repository

With GNOME 40 hitting any day now (currently in staging), expect some problems with this package. I will update it as soon as upstream releases a new version but it may get borked for a little while. This is common with new GNOME releases and this particular release has more changes than usual. First week or so could be a little rough if you use a lot of extensions.

edit: it's been updated but there's a mistake upstream in 40 compatibility for this release. Expect a new release soon addressing this.

edit 2: rolled out to GNOME 40.

Thank you so much! That fixed it, I used this app before in Fedora and I didn't need to restart GNOME, but it is a very minor issue.

@vmartini have you restarted GNOME shell since installing and enabling it? This isn't needed with most extensions but seems to be needed with this one. I'd try rebooting your machine first.

Hi, I just installed this package and the app freezes when I open it. I ran it from the terminal to see if there was any error output but there are no error messages. Any ideas of what could be the problem? I'm using GNOME 40.

@amatas, those are all included in dependencies already.

I get these build errors if the packages at the bottom are missing. Perhaps they might be added to the makedepens:

Errors:

Packages needed:

vala, gobject-introspection, autoconf-archive

@reedlaw automake is part of base-devel. These packages are a prerequisite for using the AUR https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started and thus not included in PKGBUILD makedepends (see the note here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#makedepends).

Package is missing a dependency:

==> Starting prepare()... ./autogen.sh: line 16: aclocal: command not found

Should have 'automake' in the depends list.

@liamtimms Thanks for your help and sorry for the confusion. You were right, the problem was an old cached version in pamac, using yay solved it. The sha256sum has no issues. I'm still learning and today i learned something, thank you ;-)

@realOtto can you verify that this is happening in a clean build with makepkg? It is working on my end so potentially you may be hitting an issue with a cached version from an AUR helper. You can even check the sha256 checksum manually by grabbing a the latest release from https://github.com/gnome-pomodoro/gnome-pomodoro/releases and running sha256sum gnome-pomodoro-0.18.0.tar.gz yourself.
