Arch Linux User Repository

Hello everyone,

There was been several difficulties upgrading the Joplin due to major changes in the build system upstream.

I have finnally got version 2.6.10 working with pacthes, but remenber:

• You may need to remove your src/ folder before using this version

• The patches are still not perfect, you must say yes to a prompt

I will continue working on this later today, but its usable and stable, please remenber you can always report issues on the github repository.

Regards, Alfredo Palhares

Hello everyone,

I will be renaming the packages to its final form.

• joplin will contain the CLI application
• joplin-desktop will contain the Desktop version

Also, please for problems with the package, please open an issue on the Github repo, its really hard to provide support on the comments section, you can also email me.

If you have problems with the check() function, just run makepkg with the --nocheck flag.

Thank you for your patience. Regards, Alfredo Palhares

@hazelnot Aur helpers, "it's easier" but they cause build issues... :)

yay and pamac are AUR helpers, lots of people use them cause it's easier and it makes the AUR packages auto-update

What is "yay" and "pamac"? To compile and install Joplin, i just use 'makepkg -SicC'. It works fine now.

Got npm stuck for 4 hours at the state below while installing it via yay:

install dependencies: verb installed leaf @joplin/app-desktop

Got this while building using pamac:

Note that there is a bug in 2.1.7 causing the desktop client to sync endlessly if you enable sharing (when used with Joplin server). Bug #5133 on Github. https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/5133 This is fixed in 2.1.8.

Hi. @masterkorp - just checking in on when you're likely to update to the latest version: 2.1.7 - seems to be the latest now as per 4 days ago.

Usually there's no issue in waiting, however, I've had some issues crop up, and the suggestions have been to upgrade to the 2.1.x version.

Thanks for your effort in this, you maintainers rock!

@txtsd @masterkorp Add python2 to makedepends could fix this, or wait upstream (electron-rebuild) merge this pr. https://github.com/electron/electron-rebuild/pull/669
