Hi BaseX team,
I am writing to report a possible bug for the AUR package of BaseX.
For context, my environment is Omarchy/Arch Linux, and the command I am invoking is 'yay -S basex'.
Error:
install: cannot stat 'img/logo_256.png': No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
Aborting...
-> error making: basex-exit status 4
-> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
basex - exit status 4
Investigation:
Looking on the upstream GitHub source I couldn't find any
'logo_256.png' file.
Please let me know if I can provide any more info to help address this error.
Thank you for reviewing my issue.

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

Written for BaseX 12.0. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
