Arch Linux User Repository

This installs in /usr/local/bin which is obviously not ideal. Can this be fixed?

If I try to click on any theme file within the UI, it throws an error: SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input at file file:///opt/eDEX-UI/resources/app.asar/ui.html 1:290

Same goes whilst trying to click any keyboard...

When building in a clean build env, I ran into this error:

Python is a build dependency, but isn't listed as one. I've downloaded it and added it, then the build went fine. Could you please add it to your PKGBUILD?

@ŧypecasto Took just shy of a month to fix the licensing issues - I had to reach MaxMind's legal team and publish a new npm lib - but you should now be able to install edex again - if you're still interested.

@typecasto Tracked: https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui/issues/664

Ok, it's a fucking mess. MaxMind updated their EULA and they now require tokens to access db downloads.

Working on it.

Downloading maxmind databases...

The MaxMind endpoint seems to have gone offline, which is preventing you from retrieving GeoIP databases eDEX needs to build.

I can't reach it either, I'm going to look into this.

I'm having trouble installing this (and also edex-ui) from a (pretty much stock) system. (the same issue happens in a bone-stock arch system, though this log is not from it.)

My install log is located at https://pastebin.com/raw/Kgww661u

Am I missing any dependencies? Do you need any other files to help? Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

@GitSquared Sorry, I must have misread something. Probably the important things like "I fixed it". It's now building correctly. Thanks.

@suffer Correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't that the point of -git packages? Most AUR helpers will check if there is a newer version than the one installed (using pkgver) on -git packages afaik, so there shouldn't be any case of "update loops".

As I'm sure you know there is also a stable package (edex-ui) that refers to the latest git tag and is manually updated on each new release.
