This package builds the raccoon software from source. Since the mainainer is in the process of abandoning Github (see [0] for reasons) and the sources are not available otherwise yet, this package will sit at the last released version published on Github, until new sources are available. If you wish to use the more recent versions of the program instead of waiting for the sources to be released, you can use raccoon-bin [1] as a workaround for now.

Please don't flag this package out-of-date, unless new source versions are available. Thank you for your understanding.

I could not for the life of me get the patch created by @fbis251 to work. Nevertheless, the very simple solution noted is correct. But all you need to do is edit the PKGBUILD to remove "build-on-linux.patch" entirely, and replace the patch line in prepare() with:

sed -i 's/targetCompatibility\ \=\ 1\.7/targetCompatibility\ \=\ 1\.8/g' build.gradle

And that's it. With that one very simple change, it compiles successfully for me.

I was only able to get raccoon-4.2.5-1 to build when installing & setting java-7-openjdk as my default java environment AND deleted my local .gradle directory. This worked on both my laptop & desktop. Both are kept current.

I've fixed the build by editing the targetCompatibility to 1.8 in build.gradle.

You can apply this patch by saving it next to the PKGBUILD as fix_4.2.5_build.patch. You can check and then apply and sign off on the patch using the following commands:

git apply --stat fix_4.2.5_build.patch
git am --signoff < fix_4.2.5_build.patch

Below is the fix_4.2.5_build.patch file

@dreieck The gradle wrapper is only downloaded once per version and stored in ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists. Every subsequent build will use the cached copy. The purpose is to use the exact same version of gradle that the author built with. Gradle has recently had a major version bump that deprecates some of the features used in the current build.gradle file. A future version of gradle may remove those changes and break the build. Using the wrapper prevents this.

I cannot get this to compile either with the PKGBUILD as provided or with the patch provided by @fbis251.

As is, it fails almost immediately, saying "javacTask: source release 1.8 requires target release 1.8".

With the patch, it downloads a gradle binary, but then also fails, saying "javacTask: target release 1.7 conflicts with default source release 1.8".

I've tried googling those messages, but I have not been able to comprehend the results.

@fbis251: This will download a big binary (some gradle) during build(), which should not be done.

Then, place the specific gradle version in the source-array to get it from there.

New version 4.2.5 available: http://github.com/onyxbits/raccoon4/archive/v4.2.5.tar.gz

You should use the gradle wrapper shipped with the source files to ensure that you build using the same gradle version the project author built with. This will prevent issues with newer gradle versions being unable to build the package.

I've uploaded the patch to remove gradle as a makedepend and to use gradlew during the build.

I'm including the patch for future reference:

4.2.4 diff to get it to build (changed build.gradle) https://hastebin.com/ulidumofev.diff

@fordprefect: i just went ahead and repackaged the master branch as 4.2.1-1 and did the build/install - figured whenever you're able to either fix the PKGBUILD or provide a source link, it'll be 4.2.1-2 anyway and supersede my interim build.
