The versioning method needs to be changed. I've come up with a proper one, read on for the explanation and one-liner:

The current method gives the incorrect version (21.0.99). The xserver repo's meson.build always contains the correct version (currently 21.1.99.1).

Still use git describe to append the current commit hash to the end of the pkgver, but not use it for the pkgver number. Because right now, you end up with xorg-server-git 21.0.99.1.r127.gda9d012a9-1, but it's really 21.1.99. 21.1.1 was released a few weeks ago.

Since meson.build always has the proper version, I actually have tweaked your command into a one-liner that will always get the correct version:

git describe --long --tags | sed "s/$(git describe --long --tags | cut -d- -f3)/$(grep -m 1 version meson.build | awk '{print $2}' | sed "s/'//g;s/,//g")/g" | sed 's/^xorg.server.//;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g' gives us:

21.1.99.1.r127.gda9d012a9

and the package named: xorg-server-git-21.1.99.1.r127.gda9d012a9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

So literally all you have to do is replace the one line in the PKGBUILD, and xorg-server-git will always be the true accurate version. This will avoid situations like the current one where xorg-server is on 21.1.1 but xorg-server-git is on 20.0.99 despite being actually built on 21.1.99.

You could also take a slightly different versioning approach like other -git packages do (for example libva-vdpau-driver-vp9-git) and use git rev-parse and rev-list, and use this:

printf ".r%s.g%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" | sed "s/^/$(grep -m 1 version meson.build | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d"'" -f2)/g"

which gives:

xorg-server-git-21.1.99.1.r17753.gda9d012a9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Either one will always make sure the version is correct while appending the commit hash, the way it should be.

Hello! cvt support appears to have moved to a separate libxcvt library.
build() currently fails if the package is missing and package_xorg-server-git() fails if it's installed (it tries to copy the now missing cvt binary and manpage).
Could you please update the deps and _install?

Thank you for this package!

This needs xorgproto-git to compile

Quickly 'resolved' the previous issue by commenting out the last line in PKGBUILD

find fakeinstall -depth -print0 | xargs -0 rmdir

Although there might be a better solution.

Even with the fixed mesonbuild, I still get a build error.

@xenu https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/8569/files -- it appears to be a bug in mesonbuild

I have been getting a build error the last couple of days probably due to upstream commits to Xorg.wrap on 2021-03-25:

@Rucikir

fair enough, if xorg-xwayland exists no point maintaining it here.

Rucikir commented on 2020-12-11 23:54

Hi! the extra package extracted xwayland to a standalone package (so, from the split package xorg-server-xwayland to xorg-xwayland).
I plan to do that too for my HiDPI package since it only touches xwayland, and I’ll remove xorg-server-*-hidpi-git and switch to xorg-wayland-hidpi-git.
You may want to consider mimicking what was done in extra. If I’m first to write that package, I’ll send you the patches ;-)
