Regarding Arch linux build

[jmarca]

Hi just noticed over at Arch linux (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/inkscape-open-symbols-git/) that you opened an issue. The maintainer (I think it is github user @vinipsmaker ; apologies to @vinipsmaker if not!) said "If the build script is outdated, then we have a case. Could you explain the problem?"

I looked at the build script and it is INDEED out of date.

The build (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=inkscape-open-symbols-git) says:

  for i in \
      font-awesome \
          genericons \
          gnome-icon-theme \
          humble-ui \
          material-design \
          octicons \
          suru-icons \
      ; do
    find "$i" -mindepth 1 -iname '*.svg' \
         -exec 'cp' '{}' "${pkgdir}/usr/share/inkscape/symbols" ';'
  done

Obviously, the issue is that they've hardcoded the symbol directories, and you've added some in the interim (and changed gnome, I guess). By my accounting, the list should now be:

CircuiTikZ
dashicons
emoji-one
entypo
font-awesome
genericons
gnome
humble-ui
iconic
ionicons
material-design
octicons
sjjb
stateFace
suru-icons
taiga
weathericons

I don't use Arch and don't feel like creating an account there to post a fix, so I'm posting here and hopefully you will find this useful.

Also, as this might help...in my Dockerfile for inkscape (which is why I was poking around the Arch repo), I'm just using the find command directly, but with -mindepth set to 2, as follows:

RUN mkdir /symbols \
        && git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-open-symbols /usr/src/ \
        && find /usr/src -mindepth 2 -type f -name "*.svg"   -exec 'cp' '{}' "/symbols" ';'

This gets around having to specify the icon directories. The mindepth 2 is required to make sure the script doesn't pick up your template.svg in the root directory.

Of course, the Arch people may want to specify the actual directories in order to have more control, make sure licenses are conforming, etc.

Hope that helps.

Hey @jmarca seems that the package has been taken by another maintainer and it says that the package has been updated recently. Would that fix this issue?

I’ll check. I don’t use arch, but perhaps I can dummy something up using Docker.

This seems fixed in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/PKGBUILD?h=inkscape-open-symbols-git&id=c8f309a8cfeefa441140f6f3ee3beb1dbeb83083

I think this issue is now obsolete and can be closed.

Closing, please reopen if needed.
