I did not noticed cairo-compmgr in [community] has switched to git version. I'm maintaining the cairo-compmgr-git [1] in AUR. Maybe there is some redundancy and the git version may be deleted. However if this only a temporary situation awaiting for a new upstream release then the AUR package should be kept.
Does somebody know more about this package?
It doesn't compile with our vala anymore and there have been multiple vala related patches and also some refactoring iirc. It was easier to use git than try to backport the patches. Especially after taking a look at their bug tracker [1] and git repo (hardly any recent commits) I didn't feel like getting in touch with upstream would help a lot. Maybe I'll contact them next week end.
Yes I've seen what the situation was while handling the previous vala increment (cairo-compmgr was still in AUR at that time iirc). The code has been updated since and was working untill the switch to the newer vala version. -- Cédric Girard
