• Category: maintained/ (fresh new AUR submission, not a fork of an existing AUR package – corrected 2026-09-25 after briefly landing under adapted/; the user plans to register and push it to AUR themselves, hence maintained/ per the same convention as lunduke-paint-git).
• Created 2026-09-25 as a dependency of [[lunduke-edit-git]]: pins the last GTK3-era GNOME release (3.18.0) of gtksourceviewmm, since official Arch’s own gtksourceviewmm package moved to the gtksourceviewmm-4.0 pkg-config module/API (still built against gtkmm3, just a renamed/incompatible module). lunduke-edit-git’s meson.build specifically requires gtksourceviewmm-3.0 >=3.18, which no longer exists anywhere else. Underlying C library (extra/gtksourceview3) is still officially packaged, only the C++ bindings at this API version were gone.
• Initial version built from the plain release tarball (pre-generated configure, no autoreconf/mm-common needed) – clean first try. Switched to a git checkout (source=git+.../gtksourceviewmm.git#tag=3.18.0) same day at the user’s request, so the package carries real upstream commit history up to the 3.18.0 fork point instead of a bare tarball snapshot. Considered (and rejected) pulling in Arch’s own packaging repo history (pkgctl/gitlab.archlinux.org packaging namespace) instead – that only tracks PKGBUILD/pkgrel history, not the software’s source, and doesn’t extend back to 3.18.0 anyway (Arch’s GitLab packaging migration postdates that release by years).
• The git-checkout build needs --enable-maintainer-mode on ./configure (plus sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var) – without it, SUBDIRS skips the gmmproc codegen dir entirely (a release tarball ships buffer.cc etc. pre-generated from buffer.ccg; a raw git checkout only has the .ccg/.hg templates and needs maintainer-mode’s SUBDIRS to actually run gmmproc). First attempt without this flag failed: “No rule to make target ‘buffer.cc’”. Matches official Arch’s own gtksourceviewmm PKGBUILD build() flags exactly (same sed -i .../libtool and M4PATH= tricks copied from there too). makedepends needs git, mm-common, gtkmm3-docs on top of the tarball version’s plain pkgconf.
