Arch Linux User Repository

Hello everyone,

There was been several difficulties upgrading the Joplin due to major changes in the build system upstream.

I have finnally got version 2.6.10 working with pacthes, but remenber:

• You may need to remove your src/ folder before using this version

• The patches are still not perfect, you must say yes to a prompt

I will continue working on this later today, but its usable and stable, please remenber you can always report issues on the github repository.

Regards, Alfredo Palhares

Hello everyone,

I will be renaming the packages to its final form.

• joplin will contain the CLI application
• joplin-desktop will contain the Desktop version

Also, please for problems with the package, please open an issue on the Github repo, its really hard to provide support on the comments section, you can also email me.

If you have problems with the check() function, just run makepkg with the --nocheck flag.

Thank you for your patience. Regards, Alfredo Palhares

I get similar build errors:

Looking in one of the log files, I see:

It appears that a build script is trying to pull a build version of canvas that does not exist (v127). The latest on the git is v120.

Hello @masterkorp

I also have the same issue regarding GPG private key access.

It looks like the build is trying to sign a commit (my gitconfig turns on Git commit signing) :

hello @iyanmv build() does not access your keys in any way? Can you please explain more how is that accessing your system ?

Why does build() need to access my gpg private key?

Hello,

I went on this thread and tried to remove cache, then reinstalled the npm package. It worked for me.

Getting this build error.

error This project's package.json defines "packageManager": "yarn@3.3.1". However the current global version of Yarn is 1.22.22.

Presence of the "packageManager" field indicates that the project is meant to be used with Corepack, a tool included by default with all official Node.js distributions starting from 16.9 and 14.19.
Corepack must currently be enabled by running corepack enable in your terminal. For more information, check out https://yarnpkg.com/corepack

Please either update the package or accept the help offered by @cuihao.

Hi masterkorp, thank you for maintaining the package so far. I'm the maintainer of the joplin(-desktop) packages in the archlinuxcn repo. I have been using my version of PKGBUILD that at least builds so far with the latest version.

What do you think of using it? If you don't mind, I can help maintain the AUR package.
