hi @j1simon, as long as czkawka-gui builds, I don't see any reason to not build it. This is a source package. For this reason we don't have to care what upstream provides in binary form. :)
I've already set it to deprecated in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=czkawka#n85
For the request, I'll email you.
fabiscafe, I can take care of the package.
One thing, though—there's no point in continuing to compile czkawka-gui; this package is being discontinued in version 12: "Version 12.0 is the last released version - no new binaries will be provided. New users and existing users are encouraged to switch to Krokiet."
What I'm not sure about is the czkawka-cli package.
@gbr good find, thanks!. It was added just recently, and I missed it completely: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/tree/8bd6fb84702b483a49f1dd36686cabd5fc1d6ef4/data
I'll work on it (hopefully) this weekend. (If someone wants to write a patch, I'd be happy :D it's essentially the same as for the other "flavors")
Why there's no desktop file for Krokiet?
@Segel sounds like something was wrong on your end. Please try in a clean build environment. I sadly cant recreate it.
/usr/sbin/xvfb-run: line 185: kill: (179373) - No such process
A connection to the bus can't be made
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in check().
Aborting...
-> error making: czkawka-exit status 4
-> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
czkawka-gui - exit status 4
The error is non critical and can be ignored but check() is failing.
Hi @dc46and2 I suggest you to use the czkawka-*-bin to avoid build times.
Of course you also have the options to:
Speedup the build process (up to -90% time) of krokiet, by removing the --release flag
Remove Krokiet and -cli completely from the PKGBUILD (To long to explain it in here, so thats for users who can write PKGBUILDs themself
Use the pre-build binary directly from upstream git -> https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/releases/tag/7.0.0
My PKGBUILD here always follows the purpose of providing a release ready, close-to-upstream setup that works in an Arch build environment. That comes this time sadly with this bug of a much to long build time. :(
Thanks for the very useful software. I just want to build/install czkawka-gui, but I'm waiting a long time for krokiet to build. Would it be better to have a separate PKGBUILD for krokiet? Or is there another way to avoid building the unwanted packages?
schnedan You can remove the --release flag and build it as "development" snapshot. This should shrink down build time by up to 90%
See the pinned bugreport.
For the build problem I have no idea. It works for me in a clean build environment.
