Arch Linux User Repository

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

@txtsd I met same issue, so i tried joplin-beta. It compiles and works fine for me.

This happens everytime. npm install processes stay running and maxing out my bandwidth even after it has failed. How do I get around it?

error making: joplin (joplin joplin-desktop)

This package officially doesn't support aarch64 (aka. arm64), but I thought I would try building the package anyway by adding aarch64 to supported platforms. The package indeed builds without any errors, but for some reason the built binary is now amd64, even though my system definitely tells it it is aarch64. Apologies if this is out of the scope of this packge, but I would appreciate any help on fixing this.

joplin-beta 2.0.2-1 compiles successfully today

1.8.5-1 update was strange. It lasted more than 1 hour, took over 400MB and then failed. Why did it use npm and electron-builder if it's already in the system? Anyway, I had to remove it and install from snap, which uses a fraction of the disk space and installed in ca. 2 minutes.

Actually, sync is not working in this version for me, both CLI & GUI.

Update to 1.8.5 is straight forward:
