Arch Linux User Repository

WARNING: Lens has closed its source code

Lens has officially become a closed source application so this package will no longer be updated and may soon request to be removed from the AUR.

If you are interested in continuing to use Lens you can use the lens-bin binary package or, better, use an open source alternative such as k9s, kdash, Headlamp or Seabird.

For those people who have problems building the package, please build it in a clean chroot, it will work for you and save you trouble. Steps to do it:

# Install devtools
sudo pacman -S devtools
# Clone pkgbuild repo
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lens.git
cd lens
# Build package in a clean chroot
extra-x86_64-build

Please, consider fixing the package build.

Now it doesn't build, so it's rather completely broken since at least 6.4.4

error Command failed with exit code 1.

The build order is fixed starting from 6.5.0 where introduction of npm workspaces will make lerna understand package dependencies correctly. Notice that 6.5.0 will require the assumed AUR package to migrate from yarn to npm.

To fix this in a practical way right now in 6.4.0+, the script in AUR package could build OpenLens before other stuff.

It seems to need multiple tries in the same environment on systems with large number of cores due to a race condition (that's my speculation) for now. So if you have a lot of cores and it fails - just let it complete the failed run and then try again, should compile fine. Made a ticket about this on the devs Github: https://github.com/lensapp/lens/issues/7290

@insanemal I know, but that doesn't take away from the fact that version 6.3.0 is a buggy piece of crap. As soon as 6.4.0 is released I think that can update the package.

@ogarcia

They didn't remove the functionality. They removed remote repositories from their git repo.

You can re-enable those features by manually installing that plug in.

Open up the Extensions menu paste: @alebcay/openlens-node-pod-menu

into the text box and click install.

This will be the state of things moving forward.

Perhaps this package could use nvm as a makedepends instead of nodejs-lts-gallium, which conflicts with the main nodejs package? Yes I could build this in a clean chroot using the devtools package or similar, but many people use an aur helper and not all of them support that.

Yes, it seems to me that they changed the tag and that is why the sum does not match. Solved. Thanks @daftaupe!
