Thanks for reminding me :) To give some context why this change has not happend yet: One of the many submodules (https://gitlab.linphone.org/BC/public/linphone-desktop-plugins/contacts/contacts-api.git) is referenced in the gitmodules but appears to be unused; and in fact, requires credentials for cloning. The normal "git submodule update --init --recursive" ignores this silently; adding it explicitly obviously break the build process. I didn't just want to ignore the submodule since I'm not 100% sure if this breaks something down the line. So, I chose to upgrade the version in the "old, incorrect style" before I might accidentally break someone's install.

I will have to dig a bit around/ask upstream to figure out if this is intentional. Hopefully I'll have some time for this early next week.

Cheers!

I see that you have updated the package on 2024-04-13, but still have not implemented what the git package guidelines say about git submodules:

You should download them via the source array and only reference them in prepare()!

Regards and thanks for the package!

Well, there is not really anything I can do regarding the invalid SSL certificate. Quick fix would be to manually download the icon.png and ignore the certificate. Should be fine as the PKGBUILD contains the icon.png's hash.

curl --insecure https://gitlab.linphone.org/BC/public/linphone-desktop/-/raw/8dfd384e3df08b200c8eb382b740da6839961bf0/linphone-app/assets/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/icon.png > icon.png

Will change the git submodules in the next release. Thanks for letting me know.

Can you, according to the VCS packaging guidelines, please list all git submodules in the source array and only add them in prepare() as described in the VCS packaging guidelines?

Regards and thanks for the package!

firejail works:

firejail --profile=/etc/firejail/linphone.profile /opt/linphone/linphone-launcher -V

Tried to build on a 2-core 4GB system with 512 MB swap and it crashed the machine after 2 hours of compiling. Seems it is no longer doable on a 4GB standard install. A 2GB swap is necessary. My guess is that you need 4 core processor and 6GB of RAM. I have to install the OBS Build Service package instead on 4GB machines. OBS Build Service reports: Maximal used memory: 4512 Mbyte. A window manager desktop would probably need approximately 1-2.5 GB extra memory. 5512 Mbyte is probably the lowest RAM+swap requirement.

Import/export contacts addon

Until Linphone-Desktop provides a way to import/export contacts within the app, these scripts can be used to modify the contact database. Among them, dump all contact data into a tar.xz-file which can be imported on another machine after a clean new install. To see the commands, type in terminal:

linphone-contactspress <TAB><TAB> key twice and the commands will pop-up.

linphone-contacts-vcard-csv-import-export

firejail modification

firejail blocks the camera for linphone in it's default settings.

If firejail reports an openGL error when launching linphone (causes crash) or you wish to use the camera with linphone but still use firejail sandbox:

proFile="$HOME/.config/firejail/linphone.local"
# allow openGL
echo "ignore no3d" >> "${proFile}"
# allow camera
echo "ignore novideo" >> "${proFile}"
firetools modification

Linphone may not be visible in firetools gui. To add it:

uiappsFile="$HOME/.config/firetools/uiapps"
icon=linphone
echo "linphone;Linphone;${icon}" >> "${uiappsFile}"
echo "/opt/linphone/linphone-launcher;Linphone /opt/linphone/linphone-launcher;${icon};firejail --profile=/etc/firejail/linphone.profile /opt/linphone/linphone-launcher" >> "${uiappsFile}"

After the latest update of this PKGBUILD to version 5.2.0-4 it launches for me.
Thanks for the maintanance work!

Something seems broken. Starting Linphone via the desktop entry does nothing, starting /opt/linphone/bin/linphone leads to:

/opt/linphone/bin/linphone: error while loading shared libraries: libbelle-sip.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
