I cannot build it:

==> ERROR: Running makepkg as root is not allowed as it can cause permanent,
catastrophic damage to your system.

Hi omnibus,

I cannot reproduce your problem. Maybe is better to report this fail upstream.

As a workaround, while this problem persists, you can download an old PKGBUILD for this package and install it.

Hi, I don't knwo if this is the place for this issue report, sorry.

after last update I'm experiencing problems with zotero generating new items in my bibliography. I always use zettler also, both with betterbibtex plugin and no issues. But since that update, zotero generates erros

Zotero-bin (zotero-bin 6.0.22-1) openend in console only says:

(zotero:177043): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:54:11.654: Theme parsing error: <data>:1:77: Expected ')' in color definition

But this always appear witouth any issue.

I tried to regenerate Better CSL JSON and Zotero gives error generating file

In the other side zettlr:

Thanks. Sorry, I missed the note in the changelog.

Thanks for the explanation @fusion809. I only want to point out that Zotero developers eventually make some fixes only for Mac. Then, they make a new version exclusive for that platform. This practice is not intuitive or habitual, and leads to this conundrum. Thus, I beg to check the changelog (https://www.zotero.org/support/changelog) before notifying if the package is out-of-date.

@warwickmm Please only flag this package as out of date when it's actually out of date. If you check the changelog you linked you'll notice 6.0.21 is an update that's only available for macOS. If you go to the download package of Zotero (https://www.zotero.org/download/) you will notice that the download links for Linux and Windows are for 6.0.20, only macOS' download link has been updated to 6.0.21.

I agree with @trallafitti. While the Arch packaging guidelines (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Directories) are vague, the FAQ (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Frequently_asked_questions#Does_Arch_follow_the_Linux_Foundation's_Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard_(FHS)?) says that Arch follows the FHS (https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html). The FHS is clear that /usr/lib/{pkg} is for architecture-dependent data and /usr/share/{pkg} is for architecture-independent data while /opt/{pkg} is more of a free-for-all.

Hi @trallafitti, the use of one or the other place is more a matter of opinion. Arch package guidelines only describes very general orientation for this affair. The reality is that all the ways work, all the ways makes sense, and, in the end, there will be always packages in all places. If in the future Arch package guidelines bets for a solution, and it is clearly described, I will change it.

@juanmah Would you consider moving all but the actual library files from /usr/lib/zotero to /usr/share/zotero and moving the binary to /usr/bin instead of symlinking to it? Currently chrome icons, extensions, fonts and a whole lot of poppler-data files are installed to /usr/lib and they don't belong there.

If that is not possible, I believe /opt is a better place for all of this.
