Arch Linux User Repository

Ahoj,

this PKGBUILD downloads and compiles stuff in package().

This should not happen.

Please:

• Move the download, that cannot be handled in the source array, to the prepare() function, so that build() and package() can run in an offline environment,
• move the compilation into the build() function.

Also, please download git submodules via the source array and reference them in prepare(), es explained here in the Arch Linux wiki for -git packages.

Here an excerpt from the terminal:

Also the license identifier should be updated to be SPDX compliant:

flare E: AGPL3 is not a valid SPDX license identifier. See https://spdx.org/licenses/ for valid identifiers, or prefix the identifier with 'LicenseRef-', if it is custom.

(e.g. AGPL-3.0-only or AGPL-3.0-or-later)

Regards and thanks for the package!

I have downgraded the AUR package to 0.13.0 while we wait for blueprint-compiler to be updated. Thank you to those who reported the latest build's failure to build.

0.14.1 fails with:

For me the build seems to hang after cargo finishes:

   Compiling flare v0.11.1 (/home/marcin/.cache/yay/flare/src/flare-0.11.1)
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 7m 58s
(hangs here)

Installing gnome-keyring solves the issue reported at 2023-08-17, 07:22 UTC. Maybe it needs be added to the depends array?

But it is really inconvenient to have to store secrets in gnome-keyring, if I use other methods :-(.

I have freshly built and installed the package.

When I start flare, a popup windows occurs saying

Error

The communication with Libsecret failed

This package was wrongly marked out-of-date, with a comment about URLs not working. The package is indeed working and is not out-of-date. In future, please create a comment for this kind of concern, rather than making the package out-of-date.

There is another typo:

source=("https://gitlab.com/schmiddi-on-/$pkgname/-/archive/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")

should be

source=("https://gitlab.com/schmiddi-on-mobile/$pkgname/-/archive/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")

That has been fixed. My apologies for the typo.

The upstream URL seems to have changed. It's https://gitlab.com/schmiddi-on-mobile/flare not https://gitlab.com/schmiddi-on-mobileii/flare, notice the two ii's in mobileii.
