Where did the alvr-nightly AUR package go? #1417

Description

There used to be an AUR package for ALVR called alvr-nightly. This package seems to have disappeared now, but is still mentioned on the wiki. Is it meant to be gone from the AUR?

Have you tried alvr-git?

brakenium commented 1 year ago

Currently I am not at my computer, but I did try it and the build seemed to fail. If it helps I can try to build it again and send the logs in here

You can run ALVR-x86_64.AppImage instead of building it.

brakenium commented 1 year ago

While appimages work, they don't integrate well with the rest of the system. So given the option I will opt not to use them. It looks like others are having issues with the AUR package as well and gave some potential fixes I will try. Though if the alvr-nightly package does not exist anymore, it might be a good idea to remove it from the project documentation?

the build should work again as of https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/commit/2dab06b1cfb274c694d529bbc48caee40cfa3054

the build should work again as of 2dab06b The AUR package site is deleted, how would that work?

galister commented 1 year ago

as i mentioned above, it's alvr-git now.

unclamped commented 1 year ago

as i mentioned above, it's alvr-git now.

wouldn't a git package be for the latest commit pushed to the repo?

galister commented 1 year ago

which is also what the nightly pipeline builds once every 24h.

if you're looking for an aur that grabs the tar.gz binaries and installs them on your system, that most likely won't happen, as there are plans to discontinue the tar.gz binary builds. they are not compatible with some of the major distros and are a big cause of confusion for linux users.

the two main options are to build it yourself or to use the appimage. alvr-git will do the former for you.

brakenium commented 1 year ago

I just checked and alvr-git does seem to build again. So with that I'm closing this issue.

SolidStateDj commented 1 year ago

The problem is that in the installation guide, it references installing the alvr-nightly aur package, but that package no longer exists, so I suggest updating the guide to replace all mentions of it with alvr-git.
