Arch Linux User Repository

The Comma IDE has sadly been discontinued.

On the bright side, as mentioned in that post they've made the Complete edition open source, so it is now available on the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comma-ide-complete

It's probably better to grab the Complete edition now rather than this Community edition.

Edit: Additionally, the dependency on java-runtime needs to be java-runtime=11 as Comma will not work with an older or newer JRE. Ideally there'd be an option to use the bundled JetBrains JRE instead (currently it gets purged when the package is built).

PKGBUILD is very out of date. I made a new one based on existing Jetbrains packages on AUR with separate .desktop file -> https://0x0.st/oNXL.gz (.tar.gz file). Feel free to use.

I'm disowning this package, as i don't have interest anymore in it.
