Arch Linux User Repository

@lyk fixed, thanks

The current PKGBUILD builds from the source tarball and calls the system tsc. This now fails on Arch because the repo package typescript is 6.x, while upstream still uses outFile in tsconfig.json.

Related Issue: https://codeberg.org/anametologin/Krohnkite/issues/32

Upstream already publishes a prebuilt .kwinscript artifact for this release:

https://codeberg.org/anametologin/Krohnkite/releases/download/0.9.9.2/krohnkite.kwinscript

I think the more AUR-friendly fix is to package that release artifact directly instead of pulling TypeScript 5 through npm/npx or patching tsconfig.json temporarily. This avoids a build-time TypeScript dependency entirely.

I tested this locally and makepkg -f succeeds.

Suggested PKGBUILD change:

This keeps the package aligned with the upstream release artifact and avoids depending on whichever TypeScript major version happens to be in the Arch repos.

Thanks @matthewq337 for your work!

@llamaspider @jcruz @donko3005 fixed, thanks

Thanks llamaspider. shouldn't that be updated in the PKGBUILD by the maintainer?

@donko3005 to fix:

In the build() function, change line 20 from: cd "$_pkgname-$pkgver"

to:

cd "$srcdir/$_pkgname"

In the package() function, change line 43 (the last install line) from: install -Dm644 "$srcdir/$_pkgname-$pkgver/LICENSE" -t "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/"

to:

install -Dm644 "$srcdir/$_pkgname/LICENSE" -t "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/"

error during upgrade of new version of krohnkite:

PKGBUILD: línea 20: cd: krohnkite-0.9.9.2: No existe el fichero o el directorio

@evelyn fixed, thanks

Hello! I flagged this as out of date, since the upstream URL has been changed to https://codeberg.org/anametologin/Krohnkite as of December and the Github repo is unlikely to be unarchived.

@curiositas_felis fixed, thanks
