Install "kio_recoll"?

[pebcak]

@limotux

you said contact the “Maintainer”

I said:

@pebcak

the maintainer of the package on Arch.

And I gave a link how to report to the maitainer of the recoll package in Arch repos:

@pebcak

https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/recoll/flag/

Or if you are installing from AUR, then the maintainer of the PKGBUILD on AUR.
Anyways, kio_recoll is already flagged out of date on AUR.

@limotux

My simple understanding is that the errors says the file is not on the developers website.

It is not, because:

@limotux

1.21.6 is so old that it’s not even on the web site any more (only the last file
in the 1.21 series is there: 1.21.7), it should not be referred to by the
package.

@limotux

So, it is true the problem is on our side (Arch side)?

In the case of kio_recoll from AUR, the PKGBUILD was:

So if you are still interested in installing kio_recoll from AUR:

@limotux

I would advise that the package or build script should be updated tp the
current version: 1.32.5

Try the following:

1. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/kio_recoll.git

2. cd kio_recoll

3. nano PKGBUILD

Use the arrow keys to got the line:

pkgver=1.21.6

Change it to:

pkgver=1.32.5

Press in turn, Ctrl-o, enter, Ctrl-x.

4. updpkgsums

5. makepkg -si

@limotux

I don’t think that this should be very difficult, adjusting the version
numbers would quite probably be enough. I’ll help if you get errors during
the build.

I have no way of testing if this would work but hopefully it does.
If you get any errors, I am afraid I won’t be available for some time to help with troubleshooting.
The developer has kindly offered to help. Or some other forum members might be able to reach out.

Good luck!
