Running the package surfaced what shipping only the seven common modules
actually costs. Opening Distributions made JASP download jaspDistributions at
runtime, and it failed to load:
binary_pkgs/43a00e0b.../libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file
Those bundles are built against the Flatpak runtime. libjpeg.so.62 is the
Debian-era soname; Arch has carried libjpeg.so.8 for years, and it is only
available here from the AUR. Installing libjpeg6-turbo fixed that one module,
but every downloaded module has its own dependency set built against the same
foreign runtime, so this is not a fixable class - it is found one soname at a
time, by users.
So build all of them here instead. common stays mandatory; extras are
best-effort, because a few need things Arch does not package at all
(jaspProcess wants V8) and losing one of those is better than losing the
build. The blockers that made me scope down to common in the first place -
gsl, OpenMx's memory, rstanarm, the renv ordering race - are all already
solved, so this is removing a restriction rather than starting over.
