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. Others may be added. 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.

Oh, you’re installing R packages into the user’s library during install.

Please stop doing that.

You need to either package the r packages as Arch packages and make rstudio-desktop depend on them, or (if they’re a build dependency) install them into a temporary directory during build, use them, and then delete everything.

Thank you for your fast response and rework.

It is a cool feeling to make a suggestion, sleep and update the other system with the proposed changes.

Nice work!

Hi Goetz, Thanks, indeed, I've forgotten to check the case when quarto is not installed.

I suppose there is no reason for assigning a particular pandoc version to a directory - it used only once during configuration (also pandoc versions are changing so fast, therefore if I decide to track them I'll have to update rstudio 2-3 times a week), then pandoc binary always goes to $prefix/rstudio/bin/pandoc/bin/tools/pandoc

P.S. I've just spotted an update (v2022.02.2+485). It looks a bit strange it's dated April 20, however appeared in rstudio repo only now. I assume they run build and test for several days and only then unlock the tag.

Anyway I'll give it a try later today, or tomorrow.

I updated the package and detected following problem: You do not cover properly if Quarto is not installed.

@Pippip19,

Did you mean rstudio-desktop-bin package is installed on your machine?

If yes, please refer https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rstudio-desktop-bin

I am still not seeing panes launching rstudio-bin, even with the solution proposed by @flying-sheep. Any suggestions?

Regarding to experiments with building quarto-cli from source.

I've managed to create PKGBUILD. Unfortunately, current pandoc version in arch repo is outdated (2.14.2), whereas quarto requires 2.17 for correct work (version is available as pandoc-bin in AUR, though). Effectively this means that quarto can't be built totally without binary dependencies (at least, until community/pandoc becomes up to date).

To whom it might be interesting. As my PKGBUILD uses third-party binaries (pandoc), I assume it's not good enough to upload it to AUR, so I've pushed it to my repo here: https://github.com/trap000d/aur/tree/master/quarto-cli

Build logic is slightly changed due to changes in upstream. As they've introduced new project format (quarto), it contradicted with standard Arch package base. In brief, quarto contains pandoc as part of itself, so it's pretty hard to keep together system pandoc and embedded quarto.

So I've "resolved" it such way: if there is "quarto*" package installed, then rstudio-desktop will pick it up and use. Otherwise (not installed), quarto support in rstudio will be disabled.

'quarto' is added as optional dependency.

Keep calm and wait for updates. there are 2 problems with package so far.

1. Upstream URL just has been changed back to "standard" with leading 'v'

2. Quarto. Rstudio build depends on it. If I download it the same way as e.g. GWT, everything builds successfully, but quarto binary can't be included into package (conflict files with quarto-cli-bin). Effectively, quarto projects will not be supported, unless user installs quarto separately. So, I assume the best would be to add quarto/quarto-cli-bin as optional dependency.

Please give me a day or two for further tests.
