if you are having issues with the key, run this command:

curl -sS https://freenetproject.org/assets/keyring.gpg | gpg --import -

If you use openjdk 11 the service will not start. Disable ShenandoahGC in the wrapper config to fix this.

https://freenetproject.org/freenet-build-1492-released-video-diagnostics-pitch-black-plugins.html

Changes to the package:

• Building with jdk17 now works along with WebOfTrust plugin, jdk11 is now the minimum in order to keep the pkgbuild and build script simple
• Be sure to use the updated wrapper.config and java-service-wrapper package

1 unit test fails (GzipCompressorTest) with jdk17, if that is of any concern to you, stick with jdk11

Build fails with the following message

https://freenetproject.org/freenet-build-1491-released-platform-support.html

Changes to the package:

• As before, make sure to build with jdk15 or earlier or plugins wont work

As for software77.net, FreeNet works with IpToCountry.dat copied from previous versions (to sources) and builds by modifying a PKGBUILD. Or you can use this one https://web.archive.org/web/20200226213039if_/http://software77.net/geo-ip/?DL=4 in PKGBUILD URL.

This file looks like it is a piece of very old crap https://github.com/kaseya/IpToCountry which is not maintained anymore.

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: software77.net

everything else resolves/downloads just fine on this machine software77.net might be down permanently

https://freenetproject.org/freenet-build-1490-released.html

Changes to the package:

• Gradle 7.0
• Even though the ability to build with jdk16 is available, it breaks some plugins and could be other issues with the main router.

Changes to the package:

• Git verifies the signed tag now, you will have to import the freenet developers key from https://freenetproject.org/assets/keyring.gpg ** or gpg --recv-keys FD6C57F9
• Includes the Library plugin
• /opt/freenet folder permissions updated, youll likely see warnings about it when updating. Systemd will change them on its own. Install the package twice and you shouldnt see the warnings again if it changed them correctly.
• freenet.ini.pacnew can be ignored unless you want a fresh install, only updated for new installations ** New installs will have opennet disabled until you manually enable it
• wrapper.config.pacnew should be updated if youve made local changes to yours
• freenet doesnt overwrite our newest geoip db anymore

@skydrome: Thanks for fixing it. It works now :) I appreciate your help!

fixed it for using git-fetch without a gitconfig

Hi all,

looks like i°m keep getting a new build error:

Run

git config --global user.email "you@example.com" git config --global user.name "Your Name"

Does that mean i need to provide login data in order to download sources?

fixed building with java10+ until its fixed upstream next release

The version is inconsistent with the PKGBUILD

I'm using Antergos Linux with KDE Plasma v5 with all lates updates. My computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad T510 with 8 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD by Samsung.

All further dependencies (java-service-wrapper, java-hamcrest, junit) are already installed.

Can you tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Regards

I've applied your patch, 14mRh4X0r. Thanks!

I was hoping to figure out a way to use the pre-built jar, as it's a reproducible build, but the build also downloads the dependency jars the package uses, so that'd be a bigger task.

I feel I should also mention what security settings are in place for the wrapper. As set by fred/gradle/wrapper/wrapper.properties the distribution is downloaded over HTTPS and distributionSha256Sum is set so if the checksum is wrong it'll fail the build. The official checksum list is https://gradle.org/release-checksums/, and the build uses 4.2.1 as of this writing.

The reason the build fails with Gradle 5 is that Witness - the Gradle plugin the build uses to verify dependencies after fetching them - uses a deprecated function that was finally removed in Gradle 5.

Using the gradle wrapper in the repo makes sure the build always works. However, this does download the specified gradle version from gradle.org.

I got the same build error as klore when trying to build 1483. jihem's suggestion of downgrading to gradle 4.10.2 fixed the issue for me as well.

jihem: Downgrading gradle working, thank you

klore: I was able to fix this bug by downgrading the package gradle to 4.10.2.

I think the maintainer should replace the dependency gradle with gradle4.

I was using a custom version of apache-ant and didnt see they change updated their package. Thanks, its good now.

I just tried to build the latest version (0.7.5.1481-2), and it went successfully until it stopped with this, using my aursync repo:

/home/tydynrain/.cache/aursync/freenet/PKGBUILD: line 79: /etc/profile.d/apache-ant.sh: No such file or directory

nope cant hurt, in fact i had to do that for the i2p package also. If this happens with other java apps you are probably better off just setting this in your bashrc

For those having the same problem as I did, here is a tip: If are having encoding errors while building WebOfTrust plugin like the one bellow

[javac] /tmp/yaourt-tmp-alkis/aur-freenet/src/plugin-WebOfTrust/test/plugins/WebOfTrust/WoTTest.java:1177: error: unmappable character (0xB2) for encoding US-ASCII [javac] final int trustCount = (identityCount*identityCount) / 5; // A complete graph would be identityCount?? trust values. [javac] ^ [javac] 10 errors [javac] 1 warning BUILD FAILED /tmp/yaourt-tmp-alkis/aur-freenet/src/plugin-WebOfTrust/build.xml:225: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

The encoding of your java might be different from the file (as you can see, mine was US-ASCII instead of UTF8) So if you are having this problem, add the following line in the PKGBUILD in the prepare() function: export JAVA_TOOLS_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF8

Now it compiled without errors. Perhaps it is worth looking into adding it to the package, skydrome. I guess it can't hurt anyway.

thanks for notifying me, fixed

Hi! Please add "p7zip" as a build dependency. It provides the "7z" command, which is needed to run the PKGBUILD.

Updated to version 1481 which now uses the gradle buildsystem and simplifies the pkgbuild

https://github.com/skydrome/db4o-7.4-java/raw/master/db4o-7.4-java.zip https://github.com/skydrome/db4o-7.4-java/raw/master/seednodes.fref These two links are broken, at least from my home connection. Is there any other ways to get these two files?

@sipaktli - I had the same error, and switching to openjdk8 via "sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk" worked for me to build the package (make sure that openjdk8 packages are installed, first).

If I enable the systemd service, freenet is very rarely running once my computer is fully booted, though it starts and runs fine if I manually start it. If I add Requires=network-online.target, After=network-online.target, and Restart=on-failure, then it starts successfully at boot, and is still running once my computer is up and running.

This is what I have in my freenet.service file:

[Unit]

Description=An encrypted network without censorship and monitoring.

Requires=network-online.target

After=network-online.target

[Service]

Type=forking

User=freenet

ExecStart=/opt/freenet/run.sh start --quiet

ExecStop=/opt/freenet/run.sh stop --quiet

Restart=on-failure

WorkingDirectory=/opt/freenet

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

I hope this helps anyone who might be having the same issue.

hi

i've troubles with freenet (sometimes)

if my internet hangs up (and i need reboot) freenet FAILS and i need restart it via systemctl
