Updated upstream URL.

This package no longer builds as is. http://writerscafe.co.uk no longer exists; instead, the software can be found at http://www.anthemion.co.uk/writerscafe — please update the PKGBUILD accordingly.

Hi, I just wanted to install it and noticed, that the URL is invalid. There is a new version out, it's now 2.44, for Arch-Linux there is only a PKGBuild under the link http://www.writerscafe.co.uk/writerscafe-2.44.pkgbuild

Nice catch! I've pushed a workaround for the /usr/bin symlink issue.

bernarcher commented on 2017-08-25 05:57 (UTC)

I think the language problem is caused by the current locale bug where systemd resets the user locales so that there is only (on my system) LANG=de_DE.utf8 while writerscafe obviously tries to read LC_ALL instead. Hence LC_ALL has to be passed in the command. For the time being I put a small wrapper script in my ~/bin: ~/bin% cat writerscafe2 #!/bin/bash cd /usr/share/writerscafe2 LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 ./writerscafe

bernarcher commented on 2017-08-24 23:21 (UTC)

The PKGBUILD installs writerscafe in /usr/share/writerscafe2 and puts a symbolic link to there in /usr/bin. Yet, the program unfortunately assumes its ressources in the directory it has been started from, hence /usr/bin where it cannot find them, however. It needs to be started from the /usr/share/writerscafe2 directory instead. A simple link from /usr/bin will thusly not work. For the time being I do switch to /usr/share/writerscafe2 and start the program manually from there.

At least it starts with LC_ALL locales, yet there are some startup error messages. % LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF8 writerscafe2 Could not initialise locale for language 87 (de_DE). Trying system locale. Could not initialise locale for 87 (de_DE) either. Clean start with LC_ALL=C I did report this to upstream.
