Arch Linux User Repository

gradle7 was put on the AUR a few days ago, but this did not fix the issue. This pushed me to look a bit deeper, and found a setting to remove from build.gradle which allows to build on (AFAICS) any recent enough gradle / java version. I suppose applying a patch here is not be the best way to fix it (hence this explicative comment, if someone has a better idea I'll take it), but this package should build again!

@wyrmku I'm not sure about your exact issue (JDK not installed for the used JRE version? this is something I could make the PKGBUILD more clever about).

However, I get the same issue after upgrading to gradle 8, released a few hours ago. It doesn't seem the project is compatible with it (or the option to use javac doesn't work under Arch). I have a workaround but it's too dirty even for AUR IMHO:

If a gradle7 package shows up on AUR I'll make use of it and update the package.

@zjeffer

Thanks for notifying me of the issue. I should be able to fix it by the end of the day or tomorrow at the latest.

I'm getting the following build error:

install: cannot stat 'sheepit-client/build/libs/sheepit-client.jar': No such file or directory

It seems that the package() function is trying to use sheepit-client.jar but the actual file is called sheepit-client-all.jar for some reason.

EDIT: I managed to install it manually by changing the following line in the package() function:

install -Dm644 "${pkgname%-git}/build/libs/${pkgname%-git}.jar" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/java/${pkgname%-git}/${pkgname%-git}.jar" to: install -Dm644 "${pkgname%-git}/build/libs/${pkgname%-git}-all.jar" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/java/${pkgname%-git}/${pkgname%-git}.jar"

That's weird, I made sure to use the template for -git PKGBUILDs to prevent this kind of issue. Anyway it's fixed for now, thanks for reporting!

Hey, thanks for the package, but just wanted to let you know that it fails to install with an error: "pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphens or whitespace. ==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: 5.1678.3038-1-g2a8f324r381.2a8f324". I adjusted the pkgver() and now it works.
