Arch Linux User Repository

There is now also a chatty-beta package for those who want to be bleeding bleeding edge: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chatty-beta

For users who have used this PKGBUILD on version earlier than 0.9.x, note that from PKGBUILD 0.9.1-1 onwards, the PKGBUILD will not include as many patches as <0.9 PKGBUILDs did. One of the things this means is that the configuration will now be read from $HOME/.chatty instead of $HOME/.config/chatty. I'd recommend to either create a symlink (cd $HOME && ln -s .config/chatty .chatty) or move (or copy) the directory (cd $HOME && mv .config/chatty .chatty) prior to running version 0.9.x+ the first time.

I'm not sure where I should post this since it involves Awesome WM but...

Using Awesome WM I'm trying to make Chatty always with start in a specific position and size. The position parameters are working as intended, but Chatty doesn't care about the W and H dimensions, it always start with the last dimensions bypassing the ones I putted in the rc.lua

PD: One weird thing is that every time I'm changing the window size it also moves, always in a bottom right direction. This is annoying but not a problem, I'm mentioning this just in case it is related to the possible issue.

java-environment is already a make dependency and it is theoretically possible to build and run the package with a different JDK than OpenJDK 8 (though admittedly I haven’t tried). If you fail to install and/or run it with OpenJDK 10 or 11 or Oracle’s JDK (currently 14), please submit bug reports to upstream. (Note that this is in accordance with https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java_package_guidelines#Dependencies and what upstream themselves specify ("It runs on […] Java 8 or later.").)

Please add 'jdk8-openjdk' as make-dependency to make installation easier.

jdk8-openjdk is an explicit make dependency and needs to be installed

@troyBORG That's how to fix your problem

@Freso Please commit this patch to update to the current chatty version 0.10:

Just a caution, this doesn't work with the current "jdk-openjdk" package (Java 13). If you install this package when prompted, you will get the following error: = = = = = FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

@Freso thank you for the explanation.
