@simonzack Thanks for the suggestion. It would be nice to reduce the package size, but repackaging and making sure that SmartGit correctly works with the current ArchLinux version of Java introduces a lot of overhead. I think for this package it we should keep relying on the embedded Java version. But maybe if you can write to SmartGit support about the refresh problem, they can fix it upstream.

Continuing the discussion below, SmartGit can be started using the system JRE by doing:

$ env SMARTGIT_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default/ /opt/smartgit/bin/smartgit.sh

This appears to work fine for me. This environment variable can be set in the .desktop file. In fact, I'm not sure if using the latest JRE (16) for me fixed a refresh bug, where SmartGit didn't refresh when files changed in the repo.

I think most people hava Java installed on the system anyway, so you could consider removing the embedded JRE in the PKGBUILD?

It seems to work for me.

I've updated GTK requirement to gtk3 and dropped java-runtime dependency. Let me know if you have troubles with the package.

The java-runtime requirement seems useless in my opinion too. Also, why is gtk2 still needed? Shouldn't it be an optional dependency for retro-compatibility? For me, smartgit works fine with gtk3 only (and their embedded jre).

@alyst same comment about the java requirement. This package requires java-rutntime, but it's not useful because Smartgit already provides a JRE. Actually, even if you install java-runtime, Smatgit will still continue to use his own JRE. Maybe there is an option to run Smartgit with the system JRE, but I don't know it. Anyway, Martgit runs just fine with the embedded JRE. AFAIK last time I checked, there was some incompatibility with the latest JRE, that's why they embed a JRE.

Could you remove the java-runtime requirement please ?

Note that currently there's a discrepancy between the checksum of .tar.gz that you download and the checksum that is reported on syntevo.com (that's why I was postponing the update to 19.1.3). I hope it's just some minor glitch :)
