I will fix that. Thanks, Iyán

Each version of adwaita-qt will install a single file IIRC, that file being /usr/lib/qt/plugins/styles/adwaita.so Thus, logically, one cannot install both the Qt4 and Qt5 versions simultaneously, because the packages will error out with a conflicting files message. The solution is simple, and in accordance with long-standing package policy, adwaita-qt is the "main" package, and all other packages must provide/conflict against it. For more details, see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#conflicts The adwaita-qt5 name is different, since it is what this package used to be called, and if anyone depends on "adwaita-qt5" which does not exist, this package must provide that dependency. (Some people might argue that the package should be called adwaita-qt5 anyway. It would match the naming for other qt5-* packages then.) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Pacman will automatically uninstall foo during the next upgrade and replace it with your package. Not the kinda thing that's suitable for packages that *can* be used as an alternative. With conflicts=(foo), it's the job of a package to conflict with what it provides (if they do conflict) and not the other way around. For example foo-git provides and conflicts with foo. But foo has no reason to conflict with foo-git because the conflict has already been stated in the other package. So if your changes follow those rules then you're good.
[aur-general] Doubt conflict array & request check PKGBUILDS
Hi, I recently adopted two packages from AUR: adwaita-qt and adwaita-qt4. Today @morealaz (who is maintaining adwaita-qt-git) asked me to edit some of the arrays in the PKGBUILD (please read comments in the AUR website) and after reading the wiki I did a commit with those little changes. I am not sure if they are correct and he argues that I should a conflict array. Can someone have a look at these two (three) PKGBUILDS and tell me if I should change something and why? Thanks, Iyán
