Arch Linux User Repository

that seems equivalent, though somehow trying to rebuild the package with this script gives me this seemingly unrelated error:

cp: target '/var/tmp/pamac-build-thomas/jubler/src/squashfs-root/lib/zemberek.jar' is not a directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...

Since I do not use ArchLinux anymore, I cannot test it. But I would do that by adding new variable which could contain that subversion string. Try PKGBUILD attached, I beleive it could work. But I am not sure.

PKGBUILD:

# Maintainer AwesomeHaircut: jesusbalbastro gmail com

pkgname=jubler

noextract=("${_AppName}-${pkgver}${_subver}.appimage")

package() {
    cd ${srcdir}
    chmod +x ${_AppName}-${pkgver}${_subver}.appimage
    ./${_AppName}-${pkgver}${_subver}.appimage --appimage-extract
    mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/share/java/${pkgname}
    cp -R ${srcdir}/squashfs-root/lib/* ${pkgdir}/usr/share/java/${pkgname}/
    mv ${pkgdir}/usr/share/java/${pkgname}/AppRun.jar ${pkgdir}/usr/share/java/${pkgname}/${_AppName}.jar
    find ${pkgdir}/usr/share/java/${pkgname}/* -type d -exec chmod 755 {} +

    chmod -R 755 ${srcdir}/squashfs-root/usr/
    cp -R ${srcdir}/squashfs-root/usr ${pkgdir}/

    install -D -m644 "$srcdir/${pkgname}.desktop" "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/${pkgname}.desktop"
}

can't, the system will complain that the pkgver variable is not allowed to contain a dash character = "-".

-alpha1 is part of the versioning, maybe added there?

AUR package installation doesn't work anymore:

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://astuteinternet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/jubler/Jubler%20Binary%20Releases/6.0.2/Jubler-6.0.2.appimage

Since I'm the author of Jubler, we can sort this out. Maybe contact me directly through Jubler site, instead of communicating publicly here?

teras: Hi, I've already found that. But I also found, that AppImage does not contain icon for associated files (jubler-subtitles icon) for some reason.

On the other side, it is easier to extract things from that AppImage and there are no libicns and p7zip needed to build package.

So I do not know which option is better.

To extract the AppImage do something like ./Jubler.appimage --appimage-extract and the contents will be extracted to squashfs-root/ folder.
