Just a quick heads-up: I prepared an automatic update script of this package. I will monitor it for a few days and enable it at the weekend.

What will it do?

It checks for a new version of JOSM every hour and updates the package in the AUR if necessary.

Why will it do this?

Because I get a lot of out-of-date flags for this package just because people do not understand how it is designed.

Why is/was it designed this way?

This package builds from the nightly build of JOSM (called "josm-latest"). This means it will change probably more than once a day. Thus the checksums are skipped and pkgver() will set the correct version. It downloads a binary, so I cannot use VCS magic.

The downside is that you won't get an update notification and if you cache the downloaded files, makepkg will not re-download them. This is a problem and I assume that some people were affected by this.

The new version will not contain checksums as well because I want the package to be built in every situation. This might result in an outdated version code, but this would last for less than a day anyway. I might improve it in the future if I get an Idea how to do it.

Sorry, my bad... I did read the pinned, but thought something was still wrong. I'm working on an AUR wrapper script. "Pacman -Sl aur" showed "aur josm-latest 13473-1" in my AUR repo. I manually built your package to double check with results below. Definitely newer than off. repo version. Now to figure out my script issues. Thanks quick reply!

@Cody_Learner Because this is the nightly version which is much newer than the stable version from the official repo. Please read the comments, especially the pinned one.

A newer version of this package is available in the official repos. Why is this still here?

$ pacman -Ss josm community/josm 13500-1 [installed]

Doesn't work anymore. Instead of "logo.png" there are now seven logo images in different sizes and colour depths in the image folder. You may change "images/logo.png" to e.g. "images/logo_48x48x32.png" in the PKGBUILD.

Your package josm-latest has been flagged out-of-date by strebski mayby better option is to remove this package from AUR repository?

Why do you think that this package should be removed? It is up-to-date and I use it almost daily. Please read the comments.

> RubenKelevra filed a orphan request for josm-latest: > Has not been updated for 1 year! Because there is nothing to update! This is a VCS-like package that always installs the latest version (built for every SVN commit). It cannot be suffixed with -svn because it isn't built from the SVN but downloads a compiled jar file instead. Please read the description and the PKGBUILD before you submit a request, thanks.

Thanks for the hint, jose1811. Actually that modification was already in my experimental branch of the PKGBUILD which I've just committed and uploaded. Here are some of the new features: - include man page - extract logo from jar file - handle restart of JOSM - add global configuration file for JOSM (e.g. for memory limit) - fix and extend desktop file

jose1711 commented on 2015-05-30 11:01 (UTC)

for some reason everytime i start geeqie it complains about this: Desktop file '/usr/share/applications/josm.desktop' should not include extension in Icon key: 'josm.png' could you please remove the extension from icon filename? thank you
