Arch Linux User Repository

OK, so here is the first initial rework. Raised the dependency to Java 11 (after asking Olaf) and changed to the integrated swt because of a very old archlinux swt package

@Harvey: Please do, I just hadn't the time recently to give this PKGBUILD the needed overhaul.

Any objections if I take over here and for hibiscus-nightly? But I would only be able to test on x86_64

The following patch will revert to using the SWT library that comes with Jameica and solves this error that otherwise occurs when trying to synchronize an account with a recent version of Hibiscus Mashup:

org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to execute runnable (java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'int org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Monitor.getZoom()')

Now the replacement of swt gets really urgent. The new credit card plugins (Hibiscus-Mashup) won't run with swt provided by archlinux. The archlinux version of swt is really old... SWT mainline is now version 4.18 and archlinux is still on 4.6.3 :( It is flagged out of date as of 2020-04-10 but nobody seems to care. That's something I am not used to from my beloved distro...

Imho we should use the one provided from Olaf, i'm preparing a new PKGBUILD in the next days and update the pkgrel if everything is fine.

Besides it's intended to be included, as stated in https://www.willuhn.de/wiki/doku.php?id=develop:releasenotes (not sure if english version available, link is pointing to the german docs)

Any objections or suggestions regarding this?

Sorry, my bad, did check the PKGBUILD too late. Another thing: Is it really a good idea to replace the packaged version of swt with the arch standard one? In the past there have been some UI issues when doing so IIRC. Maybe ask Olaf before doing so?

@9-r Thank you for the help, for now I included your second fix in the PKGBUILD to make it usable on AMD64 again. Using the system default is more arch-way imho. Any other suggestions for this? Maybe i'm breaking something exotic jre's...

There is still a bug in the PKGBUILD introduced with commit 7d490cab97 that will produce broken packages on all architectures except armv6h, armv7h, aarch64.

For arm based architectures the aur package replaces packed swt.jar with a link to the local arch library in the MANIFEST of jameica-linux64.jar.

The commit mentioned above removes the packaged version of swt for all architectures but only modifies the library link for arm architectures.

This patch will restore the previous, working state:

Alternatively we could replace the packaged version of swt with the arch version on all architectures by removing the following "if"-statement.

-   if [ "$CARCH" = "armv6h" ] || [ "$CARCH" = "armv7h" ] || [ "$CARCH" = "aarch64" ]; then

...

-   fi

I have verified that both approaches will produce a working build on x86_64.

Maybe somebody with a better understanding of java / jameica can decide which way to proceed.

He indeed made me double check my commit from then :'D
