Arch Linux User Repository

if you are having issues with the key, run this command:

curl -sS https://freenetproject.org/assets/keyring.gpg | gpg --import -

fixed building with java10+ until its fixed upstream next release

The version is inconsistent with the PKGBUILD

Hi all,

unfortunatey i keep getting a build error.

snipp:

I'm using Antergos Linux with KDE Plasma v5 with all lates updates. My computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad T510 with 8 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD by Samsung.

All further dependencies (java-service-wrapper, java-hamcrest, junit) are already installed.

Can you tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Regards

I've applied your patch, 14mRh4X0r. Thanks!

I was hoping to figure out a way to use the pre-built jar, as it's a reproducible build, but the build also downloads the dependency jars the package uses, so that'd be a bigger task.

I feel I should also mention what security settings are in place for the wrapper. As set by fred/gradle/wrapper/wrapper.properties the distribution is downloaded over HTTPS and distributionSha256Sum is set so if the checksum is wrong it'll fail the build. The official checksum list is https://gradle.org/release-checksums/, and the build uses 4.2.1 as of this writing.

The reason the build fails with Gradle 5 is that Witness - the Gradle plugin the build uses to verify dependencies after fetching them - uses a deprecated function that was finally removed in Gradle 5.

Using the gradle wrapper in the repo makes sure the build always works. However, this does download the specified gradle version from gradle.org.

I got the same build error as klore when trying to build 1483. jihem's suggestion of downgrading to gradle 4.10.2 fixed the issue for me as well.

jihem: Downgrading gradle working, thank you

klore: I was able to fix this bug by downgrading the package gradle to 4.10.2.

I think the maintainer should replace the dependency gradle with gradle4.

hi, i can't compile 2018-12-24
