dis4irc-aur

This is an unoffical AUR package for Dis4IRC

It creates an isolated user and includes a systemd unit file. It downloads the binary instead of compiling it (see below).

It is in no way endorsed by upstream, so make sure you can distinguish between their bugs and ours ;)

Mirrored to Github at Techcable/archlinux-packages, managed with git-subrepo.

PRs and issues are welcome.

Why precompiled binaries

This package uses precompiled jar files, but does not have the traditional -bin suffix in its name.

This is because the Java packaging guidelines say "You do not need to compile Java applications from source" (See wiki).

This is common practice even in the official Java packages. For example jenkins just downloads the offical jar and checks the hash.

Compiling from source would require installing gradle (or using the wrapper) and take much longer.
