@Meow

Is there a reason why the package does not add an executable to /usr/bin ?

Simple ln -s /usr/lib/rstudio/rstudio /usr/bin/rstudio-desktop-bin should do the trick.

Could this command be added to PKGBUILD?

The new release does not contain the menu entry, again. Users will wonder how to start RStudio. Is there a particular reason why you ignore all comments related to packaging and other improvements?

Conflicts with rstudio-desktop-git, rstudio-desktop-preview-bin are unnecessary because they both provide rstudio-desktop.

The latest PKGBUILD, which includes a fix for the missing desktop icon, drops the openssl-1.1 requirement, and has some convenient improvements regarding the two version strings and the multi-line echo at the bottom, is available here:

@Meow it would be great if you integrated these fixes. Or is there a reason why you think this is a bad idea?

@antipersistent

while I understand the rstudio-desktop-bin package has the path issue but please avoid to create duplicated packages and try to collaborate with the rstudio-desktop-bin package to fix that

The deletion request will be accepted

@Meow I would like to second cbrnr's comment. Would it be possible for the maintainer to update the PKGBUILD so that the binary is on the PATH by default? Currently I am using hopimet's fix (2022-12-26), but ideally this should be corrected natively.

I also tried the new rstudio-bin package, but rstudio-desktop-bin is currently much more popular, so a fix here would be useful to many people.

@antipersistent I am aware of the comments in the other package. I wanted to point out that now there are two packages that provide RStudio (binary), which is not ideal from a user perspective. Given that rstudio-desktop-bin is way more popular, chances are that users are going to try that by default. So I was just wondering if you and the maintainers of rstudio-desktop-bin might be interested in joining efforts to provide just one package for RStudio. In any case, thanks for providing a working version!

@cbrnr If you take a look at the rstudio-dekstop-bin comments page, the issue and the fix has been pointed out by several users. There also used to be an issue of openssl-1.1 dependency missing, which was also pointed out there and was unfixed for a long time. rstudio-bin was created to apply these fixes and make rstudio usable. Please note that these issues are/were not minor trivialities, they leave the package completely broken where rstudio wouldn't even fire up.

@Meow would you be willing to include the patch that adds the binary and desktop launcher so that they are available by default? Currently, neiter of those files are on the PATH, so by default users cannot launch RStudio. There is a new package rstudio-bin on AUR created just to add this patch. It would be very nice if this could be integrated into this package here, because it is way more popular, has been kept up to date, and has always been the go-to package for the binary release.

cbrnr commented on 2023-06-13 08:03 (UTC)

I don't think adding yet another package for RStudio is necessary. Did you try to get your fix into rstudio-desktop-bin? It might be the case that they've already fixed it (but their current build has a different issue right now).
