Arch Linux User Repository

If you happen to want to install powershell in arch linux when you have arch running as the linux distro for windows subsystem for linux, make sure you sudo chown / root as for some reason, it changes ownership to the standard user. Building powershell will fail in src/powershell-native/src/libpsl-native/test/test-getfileowner.cpp which checks that / is owned by root.

For anyone wondering why they cannot find dotnet-sdk-bin version 5.0.9, it is because the maintainers of the package have not yet updated it. In the meantime, you can you the alternative https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dotnet-sdk-bin. This version bump is required as stated in the release in GitHub.

@jammehcow I can't seem to find anything on the powershell GitHub page about it. You could open an issue in the official GitHub page and leave a link with your issue down below.

Installing/building will fail when using a non en_US.UTF-8 locale. If you uncomment that locale in /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen the build should succeed.

this https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/6472

Installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ca-certificates-vsign-universal-root/ before building also fixes the build issue.

Indeed. I had an email chat with @richardba, and this bug report came up, which descrbes the workaround you used. It seems that using dotnet restore is broken, and the problem is not explicitly related to the powershell package.

Just need to wait on upstream I believe...

Maybe a fix for certificate expired issue :

downgrade ca-certificates-mozilla to 3.62-1

download the package from https://archive.archlinux.org

sudo pacman -U ca-certificates-mozilla-3.62-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

remove you .nuget folder

then try to rebuild powershell

Works for me, I also installed the latest ca-certificates-mozilla back.

I am trying to build powershell/7.1.3, but the build fails with a bunch of these errors:

/build/powershell/src/powershell/src/powershell-unix/powershell-unix.csproj : error NU3028: Package 'Microsoft.NETCore.Platforms 2.1.2' from source 'https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json': The repository countersignature's timestamp found a chain building issue: UntrustedRoot: self signed certificate in certificate chain
  Failed to restore /build/powershell/src/powershell/src/powershell-unix/powershell-unix.csproj (in 48.19 sec).

Could this be related to this issue regarding a new cert for NuGet? Does this mean we are blocked from updating until the system ca-certificates is updated?

I am currently trying to update the Version of PowerShell from 7.1.0 to 7.1.1, but I am having some trouble doing so. I am getting some error messages. If anyone wants to try my new PKGBUILD or help with the PKGBUILD, please email me. Here you can find the PKGBUILD. If you have any idea why I am getting the following errors please email me.
