Arch Linux

Also, the "j" command is not defined even after moving the contents to /etc/profile.d

Yeah in addition to the wrong folder being used, support for zsh has apparently been removed from the package.

Does autojump in zsh work after copying files from /usr/etc/profile.d to /etc/profile.d and restarting zsh? It did the trick for me with bash.

No it doesn't, the file autojump.zsh (that should be in /etc/profile.d alongside autojump.{sh,bash}) is missing from the package (as well as file _j - that goes in /usr/share/zsh/site-functions - which is also required).

This needs to be reported upstream.

It has been reported upstream; however, it would still be good to fix the package in the repo, since currently it is broken.

I have tried building locally (from ABS), here's a rough autojump.PKGBUILD.patch (EDIT: see attachment).

Well, previous versions of the package did install files "manually" (not using the install.sh script), so simply reverting to it (w/ the new version) would work, I assume.

(And for people looking to install the latest version now, there's also an autojump-git in the AUR.)

So 21.1.2 works just fine with zsh the attached PKGBUILD and as well does not point to the wrong location.

No need for that, this has been fixed upstream now, and using:

./install.sh --global --destdir "${pkgdir}"

will work as expected.

@jjacky - Must in git because 21.1.2 does not work as you say with zsh whereas the PKGBUILD I posted does.

What? No it's been fixed, in 21.1.0 I believe.

I've used this with 21.2.1 for a little while, in fact I just upgraded to 21.3.0 -- it's been fixed, and it works (w/ zsh).

Dunno what to tell you. Post a PKGBUILD.

Sure: https://github.com/jjk-jacky/abs/blob/master/autojump-jjk/PKGBUILD

FYI, I've removed jumpapplet today as mentioned in this issue (tagged v21.3.0):
https://github.com/joelthelion/autojump/issues/172

That should remove the python2 dependency.

Also, looking at jjacky's PKGBUILD there's no need to replace python with python3. autojump is compatible with Python 2.6+ and 3.0+.

EDIT: My mistake.
@jjk - Thank you. 0.21.3 build just fine with your PKGBUILD. Just gotta get Jaroslav to update and close out the task,

Well, you're not using the URL from my PKGBUILD, because that URL does work. It doesn't use the same path as before, because github deprecated/removed that feature (downloads) a little while back (you'll notice there are no more links on github to the URL you gave) (See https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads)

Check this instead - https://github.com/joelthelion/autojump/tags - which has the URL used in my PKGBUILD, and show 21.3.0 is the latest.

Something is seriously f*cked-up with 0.21.3-it prevents me from logging in via lxdm. If I log in from a tty, I get:
/etc/profile.d/gpm.sh:4: command not found: pgrep
/home/facade/.zsh/lib/appearance.zsh:2: colors: function definition file not found
/home/facade/.zsh/lib/completion.zsh:20: command not found: whoami
/home/facade/.commonrc:1: command not found: whoami
/home/facade/.commonrc:1: command not found: uname
/home/facade/.zshrc:14: compinit: function definition file not found

EDIT: My bad... didn't read the readme.install -- adding the following fixes this.
[[ -s /etc/profile.d/autojump.sh ]] && . /etc/profile.d/autojump.sh

Apparently I was mistaken - the problem I describe is still present. Here is the PKGBUILD I used:

pkgname=autojump
pkgver=21.3.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A faster way to navigate your filesystem from the command line"
arch=('any')
url="http://wiki.github.com/joelthelion/autojump"
license=('GPL3')
depends=('bash' 'python')
optdepends=('python2: needed for jumpapplet')
source=(https://github.com/joelthelion/${pkgname}/archive/release-v${pkgver}.tar.gz)
sha256sums=('217398c3135647f223356e055a1b84adb470385584d743baf7fe4d519fd78252')

package() {
cd ${pkgname}-release-v${pkgver}
./install.sh --global --destdir "${pkgdir}"
}

I have this as the first line in my ~/.zshrc
[[ -s /etc/profile.d/autojump.sh ]] && source /etc/profile.d/autojump.sh

I have also tried adding this to /etc/zsh/zprofile but it did not help:
[[ -s /etc/profile.d/autojump.zsh ]] && source /etc/profile.d/autojump.zsh

OK! I think I got this figured out. The problem is that I had a ~/.autojump which I think was messing up my logins. When I deleted that dir, everything works normally.

I added the following line to /etc/zsh/zprofile which I think circumvents the need source it in each user's ~/.zshrc

SO... I recommended that we get the Arch Linux package to create this line in /etc/zprofile and forgot about the post_install message all together.

What do you guys think?

% cat /etc/zsh/zprofile
emulate sh -c 'source /etc/profile'
[[ -f /etc/profile.d/autojump.sh ]] && source /etc/profile.d/autojump.sh

There's no need to do that, sourcing /etc/profile will result in sourcing /etc/profile.d/*.sh already...

Thanks for that, jjacky. You are right. Seems as though the PKGBUILD needs to be updated removing that as well from the post_install message.

...so does the new PKGBUILD and version solve the original issue?

Yes.

What do you think, Jaroslav?

v21.4.2 has been out of 23 days now. Where are we with this bug report and with the freshness of [community]/autojump in general?

The attached patch brings this package up-to-date. It has been out-of-date since 2012-11-22. I believe the original bug in this report has been squashed. Can someone comment?
