Support wireplumber 0.5 about pwvucontrol HOT 12 OPEN

Hi here, there is already a wp 0.5 branch in the WirePlumber rs repository.

from pwvucontrol.

If you really want to you can parallel install libwireplumber 0.4 with 0.5 on the same system as long as you only copy libwireplumber.0.4.so to your distro's /usr/local/lib equivalent and skip the rest of the stuff (wpctl, wireplumber binary itself and so on).

Thanks for this hint. I have created a compatibility package in the AUR to provide this and also created an AUR package for pwvucontrol.

Commenting to follow this issue, and to give my vote for support of wireplumber-0.5

from pwvucontrol.

Same here, would love to make an AUR package but I don't think I should ship one since it requires a version below.

@ThatOneCalculator I managed to make it work. Here is my diff:

Yes. I will have to wait for wireplumber-rs 0.5 as well.

If you really want to you can parallel install libwireplumber 0.4 with 0.5 on the same system as long as you only copy libwireplumber.0.4.so to your distro's /usr/local/lib equivalent and skip the rest of the stuff (wpctl, wireplumber binary itself and so on). Then pwvucontrol can be built against that and still work. This is what I do on my system during development since upgrading to Fedora 40 which ships wireplumber 0.5.

It only uses libwireplumber to talk to pipewire and having that older library version has no impact on the functioning of your pipewire or wireplumber installation.

Yes. I will have to wait for wireplumber-rs 0.5 as well.

Of course! I didn't mean to imply you ought to do anything in the meantime. I'm just opening to keep track of what's going on. I have a bad memory, so I've already cloned this repo and failed to build twice.

you can parallel install libwireplumber 0.4 with 0.5

Thanks, I appreciate the tip! I don't really want to mess around with going behind my package manager's back though, I'm happy to wait.

Hi,

Sorry for the dumb question, but where can I get libwireplumber.0.4.so ?

Thanks

from pwvucontrol.

If you're also on arch, it's likely still in your pacman cache. You can do
ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg/|grep libwireplumber to check. Copy the latest 0.4 to an empty directory and extract it using unzstd and tar. That should give you a just usr directory containing the package contents, including the file you want under ./usr/lib

If it's not in the cache, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/downgrading_packages#Arch_Linux_Archive

Debian Trixie (testing) is currently at libwireplumber 0.4.13 (, or libwireplumbe-0.5). Is there any chance to downgrade to build process such as it builds with 0.4.13?

@flipreverse I tried applying it directly but got error: corrupt patch at line 14

from pwvucontrol.

Also, even applying those changes manually, I get this:
