I have problem with one package intellij-idea-community-edition-no-jre. What I want to write in this post is not related to the package per se, but rather to the way it is updated by pamac.
You see, there was a problem with running Intellij with my java jre-17, so I solved it by editing the .desktop file and changing this line:
Exec=idea-ce %f
to this line:
Exec=bash -c "IDEA_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk idea-ce %f"
Now Intellj runs with the right jre and starts up and works fine.
Problem solved? I thought so, but not so fast...
Unfortunately my edit to this file are overwritten each time I do an update to this package.
I discovered I can edit the build files of this package (it is from AUR, so I can do so) and did a similar change to the .desktop file I've mentioned earlier.
But this didn't solved the problem either...
You see, the original author to this package put the .desktop file as one of files to be downloaded from the net AND being checked upon with SHA256 hash (it "amazes" me to why it was done like that...) so any change on my side are also either forbidden or (after I change the hash to SKIP) overwritten again, because of the download.
So, I'm asking You If I can do anything to make my edits a bit more permanent?
