This package will be retired in favor of aur/beeper-v4-bin. It has been converted into a metapackage to assist users with migration before its eventual deletion.

@v3d I'll revise to either use the prepackaged or older system electron. Can you tell me more about your setup. X11/wayland, desktop environment, processor, gpu?

Is it possible to unflag a package? If so, please do, it says its out of date on my terminal lol.

After looking into it a bit more. I believe it is matrix synapse with many bridges enabled. The linux desktop is a themed version of element desktop. I'm not sure about the mobile apps.

Very odd, judging by their github page, their entire backend is open and self hostable, down to the version of rancher they use for kubernetes. But the mobile apps arent open source? Basically the complete opposite of telegram.

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.
