[basex-talk] Re: AUR package build error: missing 'img/logo_256.png' in PKGBUILD for BaseX

[Bridger Dyson-Smith via BaseX-Talk]

hi Christian -

I don't know who manages the AUR packaging process in the Arch sphere
of communities, but an update to the PKGBUILD process maybe needs to
happen. It looks like there's an `extract and install logo` step[1]
that needs a small syntax change:

from: `jar -xf basex/BaseX.jar img/logo_256.png`
to: `jar -xf basex/BaseX.jar img/logo_large-0.png`

Maybe there was a change in how BaseX bundles up those PNGs for the
JAR back in the past.

Hopefully that helps!
Best,
Bridger
