Arch Linux User Repository

The upstream release should be stable now, package builds and I am able to start the app without issues.

@diomedes: my pleasure :)

Hey @mckk, thanks for the hard work! :) No problem in waiting. It must be frustrating dealing with all this inconsistency.

Updated to 0.12.1, the deb contained a xz compressed tar again, so reverted that change. But now an issue with libmpv. Will have a look again tomorrow to try to fix that. And also reach out to AppFlowy team to ask for clarity on release strategy

For the people reading this that are still on 0.11.x, please wait before upgrading until this is fixed.

Thanks for the comments! Some upstream packaging changes did indeed break the PKGBUILD:

• switch from xz to zst compression in the deb package -> changed the untar command to use zst compression and added zstd as a dependency to be sure it will work
• There was a stray .DS_Store file in the package -> Added a clean-up for stray dot-files

I will add you (back) as a maintainer tee :-)

I had the same problem as below, but now there is a new problem:

==> Checking for packaging issues...
==> ERROR: Dotfile found in package root '/home/me/appflowy-bin/pkg/appflowy-bin/.DS_Store'
 -> error making: appflowy-bin-exit status 5
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
appflowy-bin - exit status 5

I can also co-maintain this to keep it updated.

I have the same problem as @participante. After getting the error, the content of the folder is:

> ls -l .cache/yay/appflowy-bin/src/
lrwxrwxrwx    - username 27 May 09:32 AppFlowy-0.12.0-linux-x86_64.deb -> /home/username/.cache/yay/appflowy-bin/AppFlowy-0.12.0-linux-x86_64.deb

lrwxrwxrwx    - username 27 May 09:32 LICENSE -> /home/username/.cache/yay/appflowy-bin/LICENSE

Seems a discrepancy of file extensions? (data.tar.xz vs data.tar.zst)

@mckk I solved the problem by removing AppFlowy's working directory and then recreating it by logging in again.

@itsme I can't reproduce the segmentation fault. I see a lot of

(AppFlowy:5562): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 11:16:23.543: gdk_device_get_source: assertion 'GDK_IS_DEVICE (device)' failed

as well, but the app works for me.

I guess this is more an AppFlowy issue itself, did you have a look at the issues on their GitHub?
