Arch Linux User Repository

New version of EAP is available: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/articles/IDEA-A-2100662348/IntelliJ-IDEA-2025.1-EAP-1-251.14649.49-build-Release-Notes

and today, it seems the old 2014 version has been released, any chance to release a new EAP version?

Version Expired

I know, but it is not clear that the package is bundled with jre (like with any other package). Also, I need to disable bundled jre sometimes in case of problems.

You do not need to maintain a separate package actually. That will be a "split" package. I.e. in one PKGBUILD the two packages are built. See an example in webstorm-eap.

@ashark no I like keeping them same per release. Each of them has different versions of JBR anyway

@artafinde Can you please separate the bundled jre to a separate package? See webstorm-eap as an example.

added aarch64 support after jetbrains released builds for aarch64 on linux

Just helped a friend with some confusing behavior around starting this from terminal.

It seems you've made a slight error in the last "ls -s" command. Since it links to ${pkgdir} it links to the folder in which the package is being build, making it link to nothing when that folder is cleaned away. This is ok with other commands, but since "ln -s" just saves down the lefthand path as is upon execution this ends up behaving unexpectedly.

Dropping the ${pkgdir} entirely on that line should resolve it fully.

Sorry for the delay I was waiting to see if they will fix the JBR-3066 but since no real progress from Jetbrains I packaged with previous JBR.

Please report any issues while building.

Holidays period without access to the AUR key - I'll fix this when back circa 04/01/2020

@danielko: thanks for the heads up.
