@lykwydchykyn Tested right now, works on my setup. Thank you!

Ok, upstream is amenable to including icons again, but in the meantime I've added the icons to the package.

I've also corrected the java runtime dependency and fixed some other things related to upstream's new build processes.

@LazyGamble, @Ralf_Mardorf -- sorry for the java issues. It had been hard-coded to a specific version in the past due to compatibility issues. I will take a look at the guidelines and update the java dependencies when I get the 5.1 issues sorted out.

Just a note about 5.1.0 -- upstream for some reason dropped icons and other metadata files from their universal release, which we have been using to build the AUR package. I've reached out to them to see if these can be put back in, in the meantime I'm holding off on updating the PKGBUILD.

If I get no response in a reasonable timeframe, I'll just have to add in the icons as extra files manually. no biggie, I guess.

It still doesn't run.

$ pacman -Q jre-openjdk diylc
jre-openjdk 24.u36-1
diylc 5.0.0-3
$ diylc
Unrecognized option: --add-exports
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.

My bad, after running

$ archlinux-java status

diylc does run.

Hi! Java 23 is no longer maintained. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history

Ideally just follow: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Java_package_guidelines#Dependencies

For Example see provides of: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/jre-openjdk/

Example: depends=('java-runtime>=17'...)

currently only zulu is available for 23 which is a very niche build.

Thank You! :)

@Sandelinos -- I've added your code. If there's a way to add an icon for it that'd be the frosting on the cake, but it at least does what it needs to now. Thanks!

I've updated to diylc 4.41.1. Along with this, I've updated the java requirement to OpenJDK 23, as 11 was no longer working. I suppose we could stop specifying a version, but in the past some newer versions broke the software.

@SingularityCat -- it seems upstream removed the bundled JRE at some point. Thank you for the suggestion though.

@Sandelinos -- I will look into that.

The "sources" here are a set of pre-built JARs and a bundled JRE for Microsoft Windows - that bundled JRE serves no purpose and can be safely removed, shaving around 100MB (about 83%) of the installed package size off :)

Could you add mime info for .diy files so we can set DIYLC as the default app for opening .diy files?

Currently .diy files are just identified as XML documents and I'd have to set DIYLC as the default app for all XML files, which I don't want.

Something like this:

/usr/share/mime/packages/bancika-diylc.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
  <mime-type type="application/x-diylc-project">
    <sub-class-of type="text/xml"/>
    <comment>DIYLC project</comment>
    <glob pattern="*.diy"/>
  </mime-type>
