Arch Linux User Repository

Updated! Thanks for the reminder. (I made the commit last week, actually, but forgot to actually aurpublish it.)

Now would be an opportunity for pkgctl version upgrade. This finds the new upstream version and updates the PKGBUILD accordingly. (Note that this does not update the .SRCINFO.)

Sure, applied the diff. Thanks for the tip. (Still learning the AUR ropes 🙂)

For pkgctl version check to work, we need to adapt the section name in .nvchecker.toml, see below.

And, just for my sanity, I propose to make the regex slightly less ambiguous:

--- a/.nvchecker.toml
+++ b/.nvchecker.toml
@@ -1,6 +1,6 @@
-[geogebra]
+[geogebra-5]
 source = 'regex'
 url = 'https://download.geogebra.org/installers/5.2/'
-regex = 'GeoGebra-Linux-Portable-([\d-]+).tar'
+regex = 'GeoGebra-Linux-Portable-([-\d]+)\.tar'
 from_pattern = '-'
 to_pattern = '.'

@ccorn: Thanks, that makes sense. Appreciate the help. I just bumped the version and added an .nvchecker.toml.

@vEnhance: Take a look at geogebra-5's versioned dependency (on Java 11 for some graphics-related native interfaces that must be met) and at the startup shell script geogebra which tries to use JRE 11 even if another version is the system default. That's why geogebra-5 works.

Let's copy and adjust the .nvchecker.toml from extra/geogebra and keep updating geogebra-5 until extra/geogebra is actually usable.

I can't figure out why, but this AUR package still works for me while the extra/geogebra continues to not work (it simply crashes with error code 10, with no additional useful error messages). I bumped this up to 5.2.848 to match extra/geogebra and the discrepancy continues, despite the similarity of this PKGBUILD to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/geogebra/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD?ref_type=heads. I've also checked on multiple Arch devices I own to rule out issues specific to one of my devices.

Anyone else seeing this?

@Misaka13514: ah, good point.

For other people reading: the story is, there used to be that extra/geogebra was the newer version 6 of GeoGebra, so there was a separate AUR package for people who wanted to use the older version 5, including people like me (I never got used to the v6 interface). Now I see on https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/geogebra/-/commits/main/?ref_type=HEADS that extra/geogebra got reverted down to version 5 a few months ago, which I didn't know about previously (I've just used this AUR thing for a long time). So yes, in theory, that means this AUR package is no longer needed.

However, I just tried to install extra/geogebra on my computer and it crashed (whereas this AUR version continues to work fine). At some point I'll try to figure out why and whether I need to be reporting something, but I'm about to travel to the Int'l Math Olympiad in London so my free time will be a bit limited in the near future.

I don't understand how this package differs from extra/geogebra.
