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 updated to the most recent version and it seems that the internal editor doesn't work for both: existing notes and new ones. It seems like a known issue:

Slightly different problem perhaps, but I also can't build as per this GitHub issue.

The build fails with the following message (even after answering "yes" to all questions). Has anyone experienced this?

Fixes for missing npm dependency and for the patch issue (yarn.lock was duplicated in one of the patch files):

https://gitlab.com/waldher/joplin/-/commit/5ce1a02f0afa3af8a6b054bc24f92d596b9d18ea

Just updated to 2.6.10-4. The note editor seems to be badly broken: it shows no text for some notes (which however are correctly displayed) while for others the source markdown is displayed and I can edit it, but the cursor is not visible.

Edit: the empty editor issue happens only when the window is resized below a certain dimension. For bigger or full-screen windows the content is displayed but the cursor is still missing.

Edit2:: I just installed joplin-appimage 2.6.10-1 and it works perfectly, so probably there are still issues with the build configuration of this package.
