Arch Linux User Repository

With the release of 25.07, anki does no longer officially support Qt5 as all compatibility code has been removed. I'm considering merging this package into the main anki package.

If anyone wants to take over and patch anki to continue supporting Qt5, please let me know in the comments here. If I see nothing in the next two weeks I'll move to merge this with the anki package.

No longer building

@thatoneecommunist Thanks for the report, I think I've found the issue now. Currently testing it in clean chroots/various scenarios. Will push once confirmed reliable.

Edit: pushed with '-3'. (pkgrel bumped that AUR-helpers will actually catch the update, will force a rebuild for others who are not affected by this issue)

No longer builds unfortunately

With 2.1.64 major enhancements were made to the PKGBUILD. See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/anki#comment-916346 for more info

@GTP Hmmm... I've been trying to optimize the build better than the anki devs do in their releases. a cargo build --release does not compile for me sadly.

It seems that your installation script is compiling this as a development build:

 Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 41.25s

You should instead make cargo produce a release build.

If your build aborts due to "unknown public key" like this:

==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
    anki git repo ... FAILED (unknown public key C0A351979B37E3B9)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!

Please manually import this key once via gpg --receive-keys <key-id> as below.

✖ 1 anki ❯❯❯ gpg --receive-keys C0A351979B37E3B9
gpg: key 3F5566A2D16899FB: public key "Anki Signatures <gpg@ankiweb.net>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1

This is best practice for packages to ensure security.

Module "PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets" moved from to "PyQtWebEngine".

Module "PyQtWebEngine" throws errors when installed over pip.

Fix it by:

sudo pip uninstall pyqt5

sudo pacman -S pyqt5 (choose default)

Thanks, I can confirm that it builds now
