Fails in what way?

sausix commented on 2023-03-27 18:59 (UTC)

@fbrennan
This line fails because not in checking chain of previous lines:

Thanks for the bug report @sausix. Building with Python works for me now. Also, users of Intel Xen processors can try the new Intel OpenCL FPGA stuff if they want. :-)

@fbrennan: you made my day lad, really glad to have you helped out :smile: I'll try to make my best to get back to active maintenance in the future.

When running user-blender.slice.sh manually: Substitution pattern not terminated at -e line 1.

Useless use of cat in grep. Useless use of perl, only to cut decimal digits. And Perl isn't always installed.

You can pass the math to systemd completely...
man systemd.resource-control: MemoryMax=bytes ... Alternatively, a percentage value may be specified, which is taken relative to the installed physical memory on system.

More important problem:
Addons path '*/blender-git/src/blender/scripts/addons' is missing. This is an external repository which needs to be checked out. Use 'make update' to do so. * CONTINUING WITHOUT ADDONS *

Blender is almost useless without its addons. You see all the errors on stderr of blender.

Users may now compile either with ninja-mem (which I now also maintain) or user-blender.slice.sh if they use systemd. You can try it by exporting BLENDER_GIT_USE_SLICE_AUR=y.

Hello once again,

I reverted the change because the consensus reached was to use the GitHub mirror instead.

Hello friends,

I, the old maintainer of this package, Fred Brennan, am back.

@bartus did a good job here and I don't mind if he keeps pushing but due to the broken state the package was in took it upon myself.

I want to make y'all aware of a major change.

Please see https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=blender-git&id=951939b42a00cee9eaf19654d0163703e6476ea1

This package will now PROMPT you to change your VCSCLIENTS to tell git NOT to pull the whole repo. I'd like to justify this.

This package is enormous. Many use AUR helpers. The Blender Git server was craawling for me. I've used Arch since age 16, I understand this is not how we do things, and so I have done my very best to make it painless.

To pull a whole Git repository and never be prompted, supply VCSCLIENTS_IGNORE_BLENDER_GIT_AUR=y in your environment.

I felt this breaking change was fair as the package was broken for months.

HOWEVER, I am not deaf to community concerns. If you hate this, tell me, and I will revert the commit. Thanks.

Blender's git repo has moved to projects.blender.org
Change protocol to git+https (since their gitea installation does not support pure git)

git+https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender.git
(and the other sub projects too...)

Branch is now "main".

Better clear your AUR cache.

@longboarder241 Did you try a clean build? Have you retried the build some hours later? Even the official buildbot of Blender gets stuck after bad commits some times. These errors are fixed quite fast.

I could successfully build Blender. But I just realized i'm using fix environment variables to build only the suitable kernel for each of my devices: "CUDA_ARCH=sm_61". Maybe a full build had an impact on my system too... But it's a general recommendation to select the correct kernel to save compile time and a lot of RAM!
