Hello 'community' package maintainers,
libgda 5.2.10 is in the 'community' repository, and the latest version
is 6.0.0. Its build system was changed to Meson along with some new
features added and other deprecated disabled, besides being a soname
bump. So, I understand how demotivational it is for the package
maintainer.
Personally, I'm a GNOME's Gtranslator user and it can not be updated
to its 42.0 release without libgda6. I tried patching gtranslator's
source to use libgda5 but then I faced a libsoup2-libsoup3 conflict
due to its dependencies ("libsoup3 symbols detected. Using libsoup2
and libsoup3 in the same process is not supported."). Because of that,
libgda6 is the way to go.
So this email is to suggest a 'libgda6' PKGBUILD that was prepared and
made available in the unofficial repository FCGU — notice the
different pkgname to avoid replacing libgda which could cause
dependency breaks.
libgda6 PKGBUILD:

Please kindly consider making this release available.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Rafael
