Arch Linux User Repository

Such a usefull PKGBUILD, thanks to juanmah for the work maintaining it.

So many votes. And yet still no official Arch package for Zotero.

Why is it so ? Is there anything about Zotero that makes it difficult to build/maintain ? Is it lack of interest by any official Arch packager ?

By the way, Zotero 7 (late 2023)

Zotero 7 represents a major upgrade of the underlying Mozilla Firefox architecture, accompanied by a major rewrite of its source code.

@rosenberg the error seems pretty clear. Have you tried not building the package as root? Have you read the wiki about using the AUR?

I always test the package if it installed from AUR.

I also run 'makepkg PKGBUILD', and it builds correctly.

Can you try to build another AUR package and confirm if you can build it? Or building through AUR?

I cannot build it:

==> ERROR: Running makepkg as root is not allowed as it can cause permanent,
catastrophic damage to your system.

Hi omnibus,

I cannot reproduce your problem. Maybe is better to report this fail upstream.

As a workaround, while this problem persists, you can download an old PKGBUILD for this package and install it.

Hi, I don't knwo if this is the place for this issue report, sorry.

after last update I'm experiencing problems with zotero generating new items in my bibliography. I always use zettler also, both with betterbibtex plugin and no issues. But since that update, zotero generates erros

Zotero-bin (zotero-bin 6.0.22-1) openend in console only says:

(zotero:177043): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:54:11.654: Theme parsing error: <data>:1:77: Expected ')' in color definition

But this always appear witouth any issue.

I tried to regenerate Better CSL JSON and Zotero gives error generating file

In the other side zettlr:

Thanks. Sorry, I missed the note in the changelog.

Thanks for the explanation @fusion809. I only want to point out that Zotero developers eventually make some fixes only for Mac. Then, they make a new version exclusive for that platform. This practice is not intuitive or habitual, and leads to this conundrum. Thus, I beg to check the changelog (https://www.zotero.org/support/changelog) before notifying if the package is out-of-date.

@warwickmm Please only flag this package as out of date when it's actually out of date. If you check the changelog you linked you'll notice 6.0.21 is an update that's only available for macOS. If you go to the download package of Zotero (https://www.zotero.org/download/) you will notice that the download links for Linux and Windows are for 6.0.20, only macOS' download link has been updated to 6.0.21.
