Switching back to the system electron because of reported issues with the packaged electron. Also, fixed pkgver issue.

Build options by setting environment variables (or editing pkgbuild):

  • _system_electron=false – Use the packaged electron
  • _electron_version=29 – Use a specific system electron version (when default version has problems)
    • Or edit /usr/bin/beeper after install.
  • _install_path=usr/lib – Use a different install path. Default is opt. (Do not include leading / and trailing /beeper.)

This is a self-updating package. It always downloads the latest available AppImage and applies the correct version number.

Please wait until over a month has passed since the last update before requesting version bumps.

It says on alternativeto website that Beeper is open source, but I can't seem to find a repo for it. The closest I could find was a way to set up your own bridge.

Someone's already flagged, but it's now out of Beta (and acquired by Automattic).

@tiziodcaio I'm leaving this package in /opt because it is a prebuilt binary package. I also don't want to move the files back and forth between /usr/share and /usr/lib whenever it does or doesn't work with system electron.

I've added a variable you can change to install wherever you want. _install_path=usr/share makepkg

Please follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Electron_package_guidelines#Directory_structure and put app.asar in /usr/share/beeper/ :]

Builds OK for me.

It needs to be updated, I'm getting a version error when try to install with makedeb on Debian.

I'm running Beeper on Wayland and need to be able to pass some configuration flags on startup (primarily --ozone-platform=auto). As opposed to having to manually create and maintain a launch script, would it be an idea to generate this on install/update by checking for and using the flags as provided in:

~/.config/beeper-flags.conf ~/.config/electron[version]-flags.conf ~/.config/electron-flags.conf ~/etc/electron-flags.conf

Forgive me for asking. I'm not yet versed in the art of writing AUR packages.
