Sure. I think they are just JDBC support files so you can't use them on their own, so probably not worth including Java in the optdepends. If anyone needs to use the .jar files, they will already have another Java app running that tries to load them, so they'll get the Java dependency via that package.

Sorry, I don't. I needed this for other package and only noticed this thinking it might be worth pointing out.

@micwoj92: How do you use the .jar files? I assumed they were support files for other Java applications, not usable themselves in isolation.

Please consider adding java runtime to (opt) depends, this package contains several jar files.

If you want the easiest option you can use the unofficial repo I manage. It got removed from the Archwiki because I haven't found working instructions on how to set up signed packages yet, but you can still see the instructions if you look in the page history: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Oracle_Database_client&oldid=615120

Once you've added that you can just run pacman -Sy to update the repo, then pacman -S oracle-instantclient-sqlplus or whatever and it will install whatever packages you need automatically. From that point on, any time you do a pacman -Syu to upgrade your system, it will pull in any newer Oracle packages automatically.

@Malvineous how? I can't get it, these packages are such a pain to try and upgrade.

Malvineous commented on 2024-05-14 12:45 (UTC)

@Nyyr: Just install the packages at the same time and they will upgrade together, it's only an issue if you install them one by one - same as any other packages with version-specific dependencies.

Nyyr commented on 2024-05-14 08:05 (UTC)

BEWARE: When upgrading you have to uninstall oracle-instantclient-sqlplus first otherwise it fails (dependency break).

I haven't tried to replace it with printf or echo because it already worked on makepkg without any change, but I agree that it looks like a bug in yay (the error message looks like it's mixing something, perhaps yay itself overrides the pĺain routine).

Either way, I've just upgraded it here to the new 21.4.0.0.0-1 release and it's working (with yay). Thanks!

@hexd: Have you tried it with printf or echo? Surely it would have the same problem. It sounds like a bug in yay trying to screen-scrape the output instead of looking at the .SRCINFO file.

EDIT: I removed the text anyway as now makepkg can automatically download the files direct from Oracle there's no longer a need to have those extra instructions.
