I have a problem with running QGIS and GRASS GIS. I understand that the Bug Report category here, is meant for EOS only and not for applications/AUR packages.
Do you then report you bugs at https://bugs.archlinux.org/? I tried to register there but I get not past the Bot check question as the value in BUG_REPORT_URL='https://forum.endeavouros.com/c/arch-based-related-questions/bug-reports' is not the right one I guess.
If youāre sure itās related to the package itself, I would just post a bug report there. At least thatās what I did when I still used EOS. But be aware, people wonāt be happy if they find out youāre not using vanilla arch, which is somewhat understandable.
The same is for Archlinux. Why donāt you explain your bug?
Archlinux can do as much as they develop. Whatever code they have produced, including package building, and PKGBUILDs. Archwiki docs may belong in those, as well.
Whatever is not in the above, is not an Archlinux bug, but you can ask in the Forum, and get some help.
Thank you for the responses. To clarify, I am trying to install QGIS. Any of the āversionsā available via Pacman (https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=qgis&maintainer=&flagged=) or AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&SeB=nd&K=qgis&outdated=&SB=p&SO=d&PP=50&submit=Go). Without going into details (itās not the place here, anyway, to post such), itās a package that can be installed via pacman. Where else would you report a ābuildā problem, for example, if not to the provider of the ābuilding instructionsā (package)? Do I really need install Arch to debug this in order to be able to report eventually a bug? This feels like a show-stopper ā I work with many different programs like this one. Itās essential to have quick access to such programs.
I have tried everything : all packages, Flatpak as well. Unfortunately, none of the available packages works currently for me. I just donāt want to compile from source, not needed currently. If a package does not build, it comes natural to create an issue for this after having retried a couple of times. Well, I was sort of surprised that I could not register. But I understand now.
If neither the repo package nor the flatpak works, it probably isnāt a packaging problem but a problem with the software itself. You should probably start by reporting it to the developers, not Arch.
Maybe. May be that the packages need some maintenance. Happens all the time. I donāt think itās a problem with QGIS ā thinking out of experience here.
This would not say much to Arch devs. Itās an opinion. Everyone is entitled to have one.
Since you asked for opinions, or whatever, hereās how things work:
Packaging is creating the proper code for a PKGBUILD. If this file has bugs, the dev will appreciate a bug report. His first question will probably be, āWhich part of the code requires modification?ā. If you canāt answer, you have to provide a way for the dev to reproduce the bug. If the bug cannot be reproduced by the dev, or someone else, they canāt do much, and they wonāt chase a possible bug ābecause you think soā, even if it is a real bug.
Yes, as well as wrong bug reports, for bugs that happen only on one system (the reporterās ).
In programming, there is no much value on opinions, rather than on requests for modification of specific part of code. Can you propose what needs to be changed in the PKGBUILD file?
Additionally, before you report a possible bug at Arch bug tracker, have you checked other bug trackers for info, or a similar issue, reported there and got answers? (I would expect that you should have mentioned thatā¦ ) Support for Flatpak proposed in vendorās page. (I think this is the vendorās main support page) AUR page proposed in vendorās page.
OTOH,
I think this URL should have to do with Arch. I havenāt tried yet, but, if something is confusing, I would read the manual, or any usage instructions.
Good luck and have fun.
