I had trouble installing alfaview on a new system due to PGP signature / no key. I read that AUR helpers such as yay try to import required keys on the fly. This did not work in my case. Might it help to add a validpgpkeys statement to your PKGBUILD?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#validpgpkeys https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/2165 https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=ffmpeg-headless
@kyckl1ng, you should add gst-plugins-good as dependency. Otherwise, some webcams won't work.
…and another quick note:
The host used in the current download URL works, but we would discourage from using it, in favour of the official host name that will stay stable:
So, instead of
https://production-alfaview-assets.alfaview.com/stable/linux/deb/alfaview_8.67.1.deb
just
https://assets.alfaview.com/stable/linux/deb/alfaview_8.67.1.deb
I haven't yet figured out how I could send a patch or merge request, otherwise I would've sent a patch already. :D
Hi @kyckl1ng! Thanks for maintaining the alfaview package on the AUR! Quick heads up (I'm wearing my hat as an alfaview team member):
We're planning to ship both Debian and RedHat packages and as a part of that migration the download URL will change to incorporate the package type as well.
Meaning we'll go from
https://assets.alfaview.com/stable/linux/alfaview_8.66.1.deb
to
https://assets.alfaview.com/stable/linux/deb/alfaview_8.66.1.deb
or for the beta builds:
https://assets.alfaview.com/beta/linux/deb/alfaview_8.67.1.deb
Other than that, nothing will change. No hurries though, the old path will stay available for a while.
If you have any questions packaging-wise, hit me up. :)
With the last update, alfaview is broken due to a missing dependency: alfaview: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Thanks for help
Hello, sorry for the inconvenience. I can't installl this package over the gui Version of Pamac (10.3.0-2) on a Manjaro (Linux 5.15.16-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT, x86_64 GNU/Linux.
I get a message, that "generating information of alfaview is not possible".
Can you help me/do something?
If you need more Information, I could provide more Information if you need.
THX Matthew
There seems to be multiple bugs with xdg-open:
First of all the URL isn't send properly and alfaview can't find the correct room. To fix it the following line in alfaview.desktop:
Exec=env /opt/alfaview/alfaview --url=%u
should be replaced by:
Exec=env /opt/alfaview/alfaview %u
It also works without the %u variable.
Another problem can be the use of xdg-mime with absolute paths like the post install instructions tell. Use them with the filename only instead:
xdg-mime default alfaview.desktop x-scheme-handler/alfatraining
xdg-mime default alfaview.desktop x-scheme-handler/alfaview
How can you submit updates to PKGBUILD? 8.13.3 is already out (see flag comment) and I basically updated the version + sha256sum.
In PKGBUILD:
pkgver=8.13.3
sha256sums=('a45d16568e45274ca27b74c66ebc7e826b515cc4cdda9544a479cf02bf550077')
Alfaview needs to be started with "-platform xcb" argument on wayland.
