Git clone/build error #181

Closed ItMeCorban closed 6 months ago

ItMeCorban commented 6 months ago

Installing cosmic-epoch-git from the AUR or the standalone cosmic-edit-git I get the below error. The screenshot file does get downloaded during the clone process but by the time I get the error, the file is gone.

I understand this is pre-alpha so not a high priority, just thought I'd make note in case this becomes an issue

Cloning into 'cosmic-edit'...

Are you able to clone and compile this repo (i.e. not from AUR)? Compiling from main on Arch works for me by directly using this repo.

According to comments from the AUR page, it should work if you disable git-lfs.

Arch-specific issue. Should ask Arch maintainers for help.

Hmm that's interesting, I installed git-lfs after my initial install failed because it was missing.

I'll try clone and compile direct from the repo, thanks :)

@ItMeCorban arch makepkg doesn't support lfs I've raised as similar issue here https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-greeter/issues/5 but you can see a fix here https://github.com/Quackdoc/pkgbuild-scripts/blob/Master/cosmic-epoch/cosmic-greeter-git/PKGBUILD

also a relatively new issue came up, https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/5749 breaks a lot of packages by default as this now needs to be exported. GIT_CLONE_PROTECTION_ACTIVE=false

Ideally git-lfs would be avoided since IMO it's more headaches then it's worth and it's not really a true given it will always be supported (IE. Arch) but this is a viable workaround
