Packaging notes:

  • Given the inconvenience of having this package become unusable for an indefinite amount time, sodeps are used to prevent boost upgrades from breaking this package.
    • Updates may need to be forced with pacman -Syudd prior to rebuilding. This is unnecessary when building in a clean chroot.
  • Any variable declared : ${var:=value} can be set in the environment prior to build.
    • For example: var=value makepkg -rsC; Method for AUR helpers may vary.
    • For clean chroot, try something like: extra-x86_64-build -- -- var=value

Problems?

  • Try building in a clean chroot.
  • If your distro has delayed updates, you may need to wait a few weeks.
  • Avoid commenting and flagging for the same issue at the same time.
    • Flag for routine and mechanical issues (depends, typos, mistakes, etc)
    • Comment for issues requiring discussion.
    • Please use a pastebin for blocks of text more than a few lines.

If you would like to remove Copilot from the build:

@le_epinox Did you remember to install the package after building?

pacman -U rstudio-desktop-2026.01.1.403-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

If these files are missing, there might be something wrong with the build. Please let me know what method you use to build and put the build log in a pastebin so I can review it.

/usr/bin/rstudio
/usr/share/applications/rstudio.desktop

@xiota this question might seem "noob", but after installing this package, how are we supossed to launch it? I do not see any shortcut from cmd or app list

Although its likely I did not properly install this package, I should check later

xiota commented on 2026-02-24 18:35 (UTC)

@le_epinox This package builds from source and attempts to use some system deps, when possible. Look at the PKGBUILD for details.

People with limited compute resources tend to prefer -bin packages. But, depending on binary age and upstream assumptions, there can be problems, like library mismatch. Building from source can avoid some problems, but cause others (when maintainer makes a mistake).

If you opt for the -bin package, consider waiting for a version bump.

le_epinox commented on 2026-02-24 16:17 (UTC)

Should I use this package over rstudio-desktop-bin ? I am unsure the differences from both other than the maintainer being different

That fixed it! Thanks.

I'm getting the following error when I try to build Rstudio, particularly when it moves to build GWT, which seems to be a new requirement in your PKGBUILD. Line 39 of the build.xml file for gwt says "includeantruntime="false">" Since you added ant, whatever it is as a make dependency, should this be switched to true?

Hi there,

Copilot is not working.

The issue stems from the version of the Copilot Language Server used. See this issue for a fix.
