Maintainer of anki-release-source here. For anyone who has seen the Github issue @lolilolicon linked I think it's clear that building anki "correctly/cleanly" is extremely difficult.

I'm not sure if it's the right place to merge anki with anki-release-source. @dae (Anki developer) seems rather apathetic to our dilemma of wanting a correct/clean build. Because of that I think we cannot expect upstream to improve on this issue. I'm inclined to follow @dae's advice and just "get with the times" and accept bazels ugly build techniques, although only with gritting teeth.

Maybe someone will want to follow the path that the OpenBSD Maintainers took and put in the time to make bazel build nicely. For now, let's keep this package here for such a hypothetical person because it will definitely not be me. I will gladly improve anki-release-source and keep it up to date, but the prospect of large rewrites of patches for future updates will keep me from doing anything larger inside of bazels configs themselves.

If noone adopts this package in the coming weeks I think we can talk again about merging anki-release-source and anki.

No need to merge so quickly.

This package might build anki in a different way than anki-release-source does, which requires a lot of pulling stuff off the Internet in the building process, including I believe the rust toolchain & Qt binaries, etc., which can be a problem for some users.

There is a proposal towards this end. Let's see how it goes.

We should ask the current maintainer of anki-release-source to merge their PKGBUILD into this one as it is also technically a duplicate of this package.

Sorry for that, the sums are updated.

please update the sums

This package right now isn't properly updated.

There're a few other Anki packages in AUR.

If you want to compile Anki from source, try anki-release-source or anki-git.
Otherwise, take the precompiled binaries: anki-official-binary-bundle. Note the installed size of the binary package is about 10x larger.

Try these out & report back if there's any issues.

The same error reported by @dechimp is occurring here.

Come to think of it, it is a little different:

The checksum for ankitects-anki-core-i18n-aefd745.tar.gz is not correct.

Other checksums are either correct or skipped (for git and patches), which should be the right way to do things judging by a quick websearch of mine.

After correcting the checksum, I successfully built and installed Anki.

Oh man, I was working through this update (problem with git config and cargo), pre- checksum change. Finally expected it work and it didn't because I'd downloaded the new, broken PKGBUILD by accident. Thought I was going crazy.

tonkku107 commented on 2021-09-23 21:18 (UTC)

Looks like the new maintainer just changed the version numbers and didn't touch any of the build instructions or even try to build it before releasing...
