Arch Linux User Repository

@outfrost While what you are saying is true (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544869-Configuring-JVM-options-and-platform-properties), that does not work in my case. I override the settings that determine the location of the config directory and the mechanism you describe entirely misses the point.

@jackrabbit I think you're supposed to modify those settings in your own config, located under your home directory, rather than /opt.

@Zrax: could you add some additional files to the backup array in PKGBUILD? Specifically: - opt/${pkgbase}/bin/clion.vmoptions - opt/${pkgbase}/bin/idea.properties These contain settings for the user to change.

@blackout thanks, I have already solved my issue. Also a FYI: yaourt is deprecated and not used any more.

@marcin @russkel does it work if you try

yaourt -Suyyad

or if you find clion updatable to install it manually

yaourt -Sd clion

?

Please add backup=(opt/$pkgname/bin/clion.vmoptions opt/$pkgname/bin/clion64.vmoptions) to PKGBUILD. These files may be changed by the user in order to allow for memory allocation by clion.

@russkel: See the comments below -- it only does that if you're using an AUR helper. Regular makepkg only downloads it once.

I can't help but think this added complexity and making everyone download Clion 5 times per update is worth it for the limited number of people who want a split installation. What about renaming this package clion-standalone and then making one that does the standard install? That way the clion-* packages can be removed.

install fails with this error: could not extract /opt/clion/plugins/settings-repository/lib/jgit.jar (Lzma library error: No progress is possible)

@Marcel_K Thanks and yes, using yaourt. Next time I try using makepkg.
