gamescope-ogc-git fails to checkout wlroots submodule

[LukeShortCloud]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Are you using any gamescope patches or a forked version of gamescope?

• The issue occurs on upstream gamescope without any modifications

Current Behavior

There seems to be an issue with the wlroots commit being used in the build. gamescope-ogc-git currently failed to build due to a git submodule issue.

I can take a closer look at this later in the week.

I looked into this a couple of weeks ago. We're currently between a rock and a hard place. Upstream has diverged significantly enough that it isn't possible to do a simple rebase, and the merge conflicts are outside of my understanding. Upstream has switched to the upstream wlroots and is no longer maintaining the fork. There were some incompatibilities when I attempted to switch this package to upstream as well, though I don't have a log of the specifics at this time.

It might be best to push all the additions into feature branches, then sync main with upstream, and individually fix each feature we need. Some can be replaced (there is a new way to do intel rotation that needs testing for example)

Oh, wow, that does sound annoying. I used to help maintain a fork of Gamescope a year or two ago (with some simple patches and rebases). wlroots was always the cause of a lot of pain.

If I recall correctly, the feature branches here is a similar approach we wanted to take with linux-ogc. Is that right?

Luckily, short-term for Arch Linux users, I have a binary build of the last working gamescope-ogc-git package (gamescope-ogc-git-3.16.19.r57.g4a55229-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst) available in the winesapOS repository. @chepe-andres FYI
