Arch Linux User Repository

I've just pushed 7.3.0-3, which includes the following (overdue) changes:

• AUR support is now disabled (because it is currently broken upstream)
• patches to support building against libalpm 14 (pacman 6.1)

There seem to be a few bugs related to downloading files still.

Unfortunately, I no longer use pamac-classic, nor do I have experience with Vala, nor do I have much time to investigate the cause of the bugs.

If anyone wants to take over maintainership (or be a co-maintainer) to fix these issues, let me know.

Probably related to this: https://git.cromer.cl/cromer/pamac-classic/issues/12

AUR has been broken in pamac-classic for a while now due to changes on Arch Linux's side of things. If anyone can fix and do a pull request, I will merge it. But right now I don't have time to investigate myself and is at the bottom of my priority list.

@sudobash418, the terminal says it wants to build 7.1.2 to 7.1.3. Anyway, I tried downgrading vala but that didn't work, so I did it oldschool - uninstalled vala and then installed vala-0.42. Then I added vala to the ignorepkg list of pacman to prevent it from updating until this problem is solved. And the building of the new pamac-classic worked.

I just pushed 7.1.3 which has a temporary fix in it. Still trying to find a more permanent fix.

@timhs As far as I understand, those errors shouldn't occur if you're building with vala<0.48

I would suggest waiting for the next release to fix the build issue

@aleskva @rado84 As of vala 0.48, pamac-classic does not build correctly anymore (see https://git.cromer.cl/cromer/pamac-classic/issues/3 for details), therefore I added the vala<0.48 restriction.

As soon as @Cromer pushes a new release, the PKGBUILD will be updated and the vala version restriction removed.

If you really want to build the current 7.1.2 release instead of waiting, you can try installing an older version of vala: either by downloading a previous version from the Arch Linux Archive or by installing vala-0.42 from the AUR

And I have added to the pacman repo chaotic-aur https://lonewolf.pedrohlc.com/chaotic-aur/ in which it is a package vala-0.42, and also pamac-classic too. And after installing vala-0.42 and editing PKGBUILD, the new pamac-classic is normally building.

Something's happening here that I don't understand.

"error, target not found: vala < 0.48 Error: pacman was unable to install missing dependencies. Missing dependencies: vala < 0.48 Error: unable to resolve all dependencies :: Unable to build pamac-classic - makepkg exited with code: 8 =>> Try again? [y/N]: "

This is for a day or two already. Checking for updates finds only vala 0.48.1-1. Apparently something has to be updated somewhere not on my computer but I'm not sure what that is.

I tried downgrade valato version 0.42.5 but get errors while building:

:: Unable to build pamac-classic - makepkg exited with code: 4

Last version can't be installed due to the following issue: vala<0.48 can't be installled ("unable to satisfy dependency 'vala<0.48' required by pamac-classic"). It seems there is no version of vala < 0.48 available in Arch Linux.

Clicking on the settings(hamburger menu) does not work. The settings menu does not show up. KDE PLASMA 5.18.

@Cromer: Thank you very much! Updated to 7.1.1 without any problems.
