Arch Linux User Repository

Hamsket is the new name for Rambox-OS. Please use this package instead of rambox-os-git.

As rjt said, Rambox-OS is renamed to Hamsket. I made a new package for the git version, located at hamsket-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hamsket-git/). Please switch to the new package.

@bjo I think it's the same error as below, namely Sencha CMD does only work correctly with Java 8 or earlier. If you have Java 8 as default runtime it should build. I don't know what would be the appropriate way to fix this, help is sure welcome.

Building fails here:

I've created an AUR package for the binary builds: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rambox-os-bin/

Thanks for the hint!

@bjo There is quite some controverse about the original rambox, leading to creation of a truly FOSS fork. See https://github.com/ramboxapp/community-edition/issues/1811 and https://github.com/ramboxapp/community-edition/issues/1810

Why do you use the fork instead of the usual repo?

@bbaserdem : see previous comment

I have found what is wrong: Sencha CMD 6 does not work with Java 9 or newer, it needs Java 8 or earlier. This should be specified in Sencha CMD's dependencies (which isn't). Building rambox-os in a clean chroot with the Sencha package, automatically grabs a (newer) JRE and sets it as default, so specifying it in rambox-os's makedepends does not work. (Well, I guess this is the reason it does not work) You need to modify Sencha CMD's PKGBUILD, and include that package in your chroot build.

I'll message sencha-cmd's maintainer to fix the PKGBUILD.

I didn't have an error indeed. I am also not very familiar with NodeJS or Electron myself, but I'll have a look

Trying to build this in clean chroot fails, I'm getting build error with log here; https://pastebin.com/MSV23j7p

I don't know much about nodejs, or electron. Any idea how I can fix this? (I assume people have built this package 2 days before successfully judging from the comments)
