Arch Linux User Repository

Fixed dead links and released a new version. @mkurz, thanks for the patch!

This package currently places dead links into /usr/local/bin/

$ ls -la /usr/local/bin/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   31  6. Mär 11:12 async-profiler -> /opt/async-profiler/profiler.sh
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   25  6. Mär 11:12 build -> /opt/async-profiler/build

However neither /opt/async-profiler/profiler.sh nor /opt/async-profiler/build exist.

Moreover, none of those links get correctly installed, so pacman does not even know this packages owns them:

$ pacman -Qo /usr/local/bin/*
error: No package owns /usr/local/bin/async-profiler
error: No package owns /usr/local/bin/build

correct would be to link to /opt/async-profiler/bin/asprof and /opt/async-profiler/bin/jfrconv instead - and have them correctly installed into /usr/bin/ - in way that pacman knows which packages owns them. So this must be done not in an *.install file but within the package() function. Actually, this is quite normal how to build a package... Also: The Arch packaging guidelines explicitly state that packages should use /usr/bin. /usr/local/bin is reserved for software installed manually outside of pacman.

To make things easy I already fixed that in my own fork: https://github.com/archlinux/aur/compare/async-profiler...mkurz:aur:async-profiler_fix-links?expand=1

To pull in my fixed you can just do:

git remote add mkurz git@github.com:mkurz/aur.git
git fetch mkurz async-profiler_fix-links
git merge mkurz/async-profiler_fix-links

You can check that the links are correctly owned by pacman now:

pacman -Qo /usr/bin/asprof /usr/bin/jfrconv

Updated. Thanks for the patch!

Flagged out of date. Please make sure to also add fdtransfer to the install binaries when updating.

Sure, IDEA Ultimate does.

Did you know that IDEA starting from 2018.3 supports async-profiler OOTB?

@asm0dey it takes half an hour to compile java-openjdk on my laptop.

Regrding lagging behind: we both support several packages, so we know that software can lag. But when you subscribe on releases RSS somewhere it becomes easier to minimize gap.

@incubos any ideas on how long it takes tom compile?

Thanks, specifying options in PKGBUILD also works! But still I don't think that supporting java-openjdk debug package set in AUR is a good idea, because it always will be lagging behind. Do you want to do it yourself?

P.S. Hm, it doesn't look quite stable yet: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/java-openjdk
