      3# Waycast began as a fork of swaybeam (https://github.com/forkline/swaybeam)
    
      4# and has since been renamed. Upstream publishes `swaybeam` and `swaybeam-bin`
    
      5# to the AUR, and an earlier iteration of this package was called
    
      6# `swaybeam-hyprland-bin`; all three are listed as conflicts because they
    
      7# install the same binary path.
    
      8#
    
      9# Installs the archives built by the project's Release workflow rather than
    
      10# compiling, so no Rust toolchain is needed. Those archives are dynamically
    
      11# linked against GStreamer, PipeWire and glib and are built on Ubuntu 24.04,
    
      12# so they need glibc 2.39 or newer -- fine on Arch, and the reason the
    
      13# depends list below is not merely `glibc`.
    
      14#
    
      15# Refreshing for a new release: bump pkgver, then `updpkgsums` to pull the
    
      16# real checksums. They are SKIP here only because the assets for this version
    
      17# are not published yet; a -bin package should carry real sums.
