I've taken over maintenance for this package and updated it to 1.0.1, so hopefully all issues will now be resolved.

Currently I'm getting this error:
==> Starting build()...
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED):
Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

Update the VERSION argument <min> value. Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
error: failed to build 'multiwatch-1.0.0-1':

System: Immutable Arch Linux blendOS through /system.yaml.

If anyone has an idea... Kindly advise? :) Thank you!

These are required updates to PKGBUILD to have 1.0.1 working.

1.0.1 supports meson so we don't have to fight cmake policies anymore. https://paste.xinu.at/Vce/

Pushed up the aur-mirror version of multiwatch to be a current AUR package for convenience.
