Arch Linux User Repository

looks like we will need a new git submodule url:

fatal: repository '/startdir/RSNewWebUI' does not exist
fatal: clone of '/startdir/RSNewWebUI' into submodule path '/build/retroshare-git/src/retroshare/retroshare-webui' failed

Thanks for the tip! Using this and the module url-change I can now build it successfully again.

I have been doing this to get around that issue, in the build function:

  (
    cd -- "$srcdir/$_pkgname/libretroshare"
    git reset --hard origin/master
  )

The problem is upstream; the maintainers don't keep the version of the submodule in sync with the version they build against.

It's possible to work around the issue with the submodule being added using ssh by adding this in the prepare-section underneath the other url-changes:

git config submodule.retroshare-webui.url "https://github.com/Retroshare/RSNewWebUI.git"

That makes it go further for me at least. I get stuck on this error since a while back though, for which I have yet to find a workaround:

rshare.cpp: In static member function ‘static bool Rshare::loadCertificate(const RsPeerId&, bool)’:

Another submodules issue...

It's awkward that they use SSH for anonymous cloning there, probably an oversight.

Not sure if this is your domain or not but it might need looking at

I was waiting for a proper fix (if there is any) For now I've applied a fix from the forum. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2063104#p2063104

Currently fails to build for me because of submodule config upstream:

Thanks for the ping. I've completely missed @bitwave's comment (there was no notification email). I've found and fixed the bug upstream, pr is pending.

I hope that this gets accepted quickly and therefore won't update this package (since it'll break again as soon as the pr is merged)

EDIT: pr is merged
