How to install mesa-git?

@ishaan2479

mesa conflicts with mesa-git so you have to remove it.

Mostly a semantic thing, but is mesa-git which conflicts with mesa

@Buju

Many -git AUR packages work only with the Manjaro unstable branch, since AUR packages usually closely follow the Arch stable branch

Highly doubt this is true

@ishaan2479

First install lib32-mesa-git from AUR and then try to install mesa-git:

lib32-mesa-git depends on mesa-git, please check pkgbuilds dependencies before making this kind of suggestion

Now Disregard what has been suggested so far

For this scope any AUR helper in unsuitable

Best way is to build the pkgbuilds in a clean chroot, create a local repository and add/remove both at the same time

You can use buildpkg from the manjaro-tools-pkg-git package for chroot build and darkhttpd webserver for creating the local repository

Since mesa-git and lib32-mesa-git share the same source is better to configure a common source folder (SRCDEST= in /etc/makepkg.conf , you can copy it into your home folder as .makepkg.conf if you don’t want to edit the system’s one)

For building a pkgbuild with buildpkg:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/mesa-git.git
buildpkgc -p mesa-git

Move the builded package to a folder dedicated for the repository, in there type:
repo-add $VAR.db.tar.gz *.pkg*

This command create the database of the packages, where $VAR is the name of the repository

The darkhttp systemd service for my repo

$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/darkhttpd@fabio.service
[Unit]
Description=Darkhttpd Webserver
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/darkhttpd /mnt/SHARE3/Webserver/repository --mimetypes /etc/conf.d/mimetypes --port 2000
#ProtectSystem=full
#ProtectHome=on
#PrivateDevices=on
#NoNewPrivileges=on

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Created copying darkhttpd@.service as darkhttpd@fabio.service and edited to specify the folder to serve
sudo cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/darkhttpd@.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/darkhttpd@$USERNAME.service

Service start and enabled with:

sudo systemctl enable --now darkhttpd@fabio.service

The repository configuration:

[Lolix_repo_clean]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://192.168.1.200:2000/$repo/$arch

To be added to /etc/pacman.conf and /usr/share/manjaro-tools/pacman-default.conf (in this also uncomment the multilib repository to build lib32 pkgbuilds)

Mesa-git fails to build

Builded lib32-mesa-git successfully, I added the builded mesa-git package into one of my local repositories (created with darkhttpd static server), added same as bellow Edited /usr/share/manjaro-tools/pacman-default.conf to add the multilib repository because it isn’t there by default Note that changes will be lost with the next manjaro-tools-base-git update

---

After the repo is operational you can build lib32-mesa-git

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lib32-mesa-git.git
buildpkgc -p lib32-mesa-git

After the package is builded move it to the repo folder and re-created the packages database
