Arch Linux User Repository

The install location for LICENSE is wrong (${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}). It should be ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/LICENSE.

Please set a unique filename for LICENSE, the current setup messes with people who have a shared SRCDEST:

==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
    RuneLite.jar ... Passed
    LICENSE ... FAILED
    runelite.png ... Passed
    runelite.desktop ... Skipped
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
==> ERROR: Could not download sources.

Can add/make the game launch with a launch script to the package that changes the runescape cache folder location so it puts it in the .config folder instead of the main home folder, example code:

RL_DIR="/home/$USER/.config/Runelite/jagexcache"

if [ -z _JAVA_OPTIONS ] ; then
    _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Duser.home=\"$RL_DIR\""
else
    _JAVA_OPTIONS="$_JAVA_OPTIONS -Duser.home=\"$RL_DIR\""
fi
export _JAVA_OPTIONS

java -jar /usr/share/runelite/RuneLite.jar

This would make it less messy for the user and hide the cache folder in a better location. :)

If you get any error while trying to launch it, set your systems java status to another version. java-14-openjdk worked for me.

This package should probably be merged with runelite-launcher since they both ship the launcher jar. And to nitpick: jar files should go to /usr/share/java.

Edit: The license isn't installed properly, it should be a file in /usr/share/licenses/runelite.

@uzichan You need to install a compatible (>=11) version of java-runtime

ok so it wont even boot up and i get this:

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: net/runelite/launcher/Launcher has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0 at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:756) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:142) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:468) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$100(URLClassLoader.java:74) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:369) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:363) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:362) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:418) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:352) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:351) at sun.launcher.LauncherHelper.checkAndLoadMain(LauncherHelper.java:495)

@zangoku instead of building this package try the "runelite" package from the aur, or install with the app image from their site or on lutris this one doesn't build for me but "runelite" did just fine, I used "java-8-openjdk" just in case

@nijhanley That does not fix the issue. I am still getting maven errors when trying to update.

@zangoku You need to change your default Java environment. Example: # archlinux-java set java-13-openjdk
