Arch Linux User Repository

@archmylinux Yes, I'm getting the same error. Might be worth reporting upstream: https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues

Can anyone confirm this issue ?
Nobody I know uses development Frescobaldi let alone on Arch Linux.

Starting Frescobaldi from the command line I get :

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you so much @rdoursenaud. I had tried git: file: ssh: but not git+file:… I obviously should have rtfm.

@archmylinux You're missing 'file://'. Try 'git+file:///absolute/path/to/frescobaldi'. See 'man git clone' & https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines for more informations ;)

Slightly off topic: since the frescobaldi repo is somewhat big (~100M), I am trying to make this PKGBUILD file to clone from my local frescobaldi repository clone which lets assume is up to date with upstream.

I tried changing everything I could from this line :
source=("${pkgname}"::'git://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi.git')
to:
source=("${pkgname}"::'git:///path/to/fresco-git')
source=("${pkgname}"::'///path/to/fresco-git')
…to no avail.

What I am my missing here‽

Its probably more of a general PKGBUILD question but I am not sure.

Thanks @rdoursenaud, I did recompile "python-poppler-qt5" and now frescobaldi works fine :-)

@archmylinux I guess it has something to do with a poppler update. Try recompiling python-poppler-qt5.

Not sure what the problem is but I get a "segmentation fault (core dumped)" error when starting Frescobaldi. It started a few weeks ago and since then I've been using the latest point release "frescobaldi" (i.e. not "frescobaldi-git) package from the AUR. What should I try to help resolve this issue?

You define _gitroot='https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi.git', but _gitroot is not used anywhere, so you can drop it. In the pkgver- build- and package-functions ou should cd into ${_gitname}.

Thanks @archmylinux.
Took me a while to figure out the bits and pieces but it's there ;)
