Arch Linux User Repository

i don't know if this is obvious to everyone but i had to switch my system java default to openjdk 17 via 'sudo archlinux-java set java-17-openjdk'. compile failed with a default version of 21.

Just pushed an update with some significant changes:

• Build from source instead re-packaging the Debian package.
• Run a sub-selection of the tests.
• Use system Scala, rather than bundling it.
• Add some security hardening to the service.

There is a risk this is broken for some users or affects some use-cases. Let me know if you experience any problems. Thanks!

Thanks for co-maintainer :)

@carsme no problem, I will take up the offer of co-maintainer however :)

@PolarianDev Sorry for stealing this, I noticed your comment when I was nearly finished with the updated package.

If you'd like to join I can invite you as co-maintainer.

@PolarianDev that would be appreciated! A starting point: git diff for 5.5.0.

Do people still want this package maintained, if so I will adopt it :)

I have adapted the PKGBUILD, feel free to test and change to your needs or give suggestions for improvement. I can at least run it via systemctl on my system now, not quite sure if I missed something specific to my config: https://github.com/michaelsx/aur_neo4j-community

Your upstream url is also using some tracking link shortener that returns a 404

systemctl start neo4j.service fails with the same error
