Hi, there seems to be a version problem when upgrading from proton-git v7.0.1 to proton-git v8.0.1 after pacman builds and installs the package, pacman says the new package is still v7.0.1 and not v8.0.1

What can I do to remedy this? Thanks. Dave.

@Rulatir @Kyatik @rabcor Ideally this package would allow you to use a local build of proton within Steam per the instructions on the Github page. I haven't had a chance to go through the PKGBUILDs so this package make not install everything needed to do this yet.

I'll have to go through the PKGBUILDs of this, proton-git, and the proton package. Ideally, you could simply symlink a folder into ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/ and be able to use the latest/customized proton.

@Rulatir

you better to ask @JoshH100, I just made his proton package to use git, and abandoned it in flavor of him.

THIRDING the question asked by @rabcor and @Kyatik

@yurikoles

How exactly does this package work? Proton is typically bundled with (and run through) steam, is this an independent package, e.g. will I be able to run applications through some command like $proton instead of $wine to use proton instead?

(copied from rabcor's comment because not answered)

what is the difference this proton-git with proton?

If I want to use the proton installation compiled by this package with steam, how would I go about it?

Version issue is now fixed.

Edit PKGBUILD and change pkgver() to following code as mentioned in the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines

pkgver() {
  local version count

  cd "${pkgname}"

  version="$(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g')"
  count="$(git rev-list --count $(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags)..)"
  printf '%s.%s' "${version#proton-3.7*-}" "${count}"
}
