Arch Linux AUR maintainer

[ManfredKarrer]

The Arch Linux distibution builds all applications from source code and use the AUR format for delivering build instructions. See: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bisq/

Primary role owner: @freimair (is maintainer of that AUR repository)

[freimair]

actually, there are three version of bisq in AUR:

• build from source, latest master: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bisq-git/
• build from source, latest release tag: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bisq/
• build from latest .deb release: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bisq-bin/

[ManfredKarrer]

Can you consolidate those?

[freimair]

Each of these have their place in the AUR (it is the Arch linux way, kind of). The interested user can either have a quick install (without the need for compilation, borrowed from a binary release), a stable install (built from release tag) or a cutting edge install (built from master).

What characteristics do you suggest for a consolidated package?

[ManfredKarrer]

Ah, ok.

2018.11 report

• The 0.8.1 release stirred things up a bit. No harm has been done to the bin package. A simple version change did the trick. The git package does not care about releases anyways. However, I could not figure out how to build bisq 0.8.1 from source. I checked with @ripcurlx: the recent "moving repos around" shaked up the build process and building 0.8.1 from source is "tricky". I decided to leave the package out of date until 0.9 comes along.
• The git package somehow still used the deprecated repo bisq-desktop. Fixed it. And ran straight into:
• The git package got thrown out of line when the location of the binaries had been changed. It took me some time to find the issue and fix the package. I also suggested a fix to the issue in bisq-network/bisq#1979 as I already found the cause.

/cc bisq-network/compensation#166

2018.12 report

• moved the packages first to 0.9.0 then to 0.9.1
• did some optimizations along the way
• nothing special

/cc https://github.com/bisq-network/compensation/issues/185

[freimair]

2019.01 report

• updated to 0.9.3
• skipped 0.9.2 due to work-life-balance-nonsense
• issues with Gnome on Wayland keep showing up. However, we are not the only ones affected:
  • https://github.com/javafxports/openjdk-jfx/issues/175
  • https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8172142
  • https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8170519
  • https://github.com/dmolony/Xmit/issues/2
  • ...

lets see how things evolve.

[freimair]

2019.02 report

• updated to 0.9.4

nothing new on the Wayland front

[freimair]

2019.03 report

• ad Wayland: a fix has been proposed a while ago. However, it has been rejected. However, if the issue is encountered, a simple -Djdk.gtk.version=2 might just do the trick (at least it does for me)
• updated bisq and bisq-bin to 0.9.5

• updated bisq and bisq-bin to 1.3.4

[freimair]

Cycle 14 report

• updated bisq to use jdk-11-openjdk, because Arch Linux no longer provides a reasonable source for jdk-10-openjdk
• marked bisq-git to be deleted
• git-lfs does not go with downloading source tarballs. Hence, reverted package "bisq" to use git clone. However, to prevent clients from downloading the whole 400MB of data, I threw in a "--depth=1" to the clone command. Downloaded data size is now approx. 100MB (=20MB src + 80MB data stores).
