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.

I'm inclined to leave the .desktop file alone because users can already create customized copies in ~/.local/share/applications.

@xiota: all is well now - with the change on the -latest-bin side and the epoch set it installs ok as beeper now so people upgrading will have a smooth ride. Thanks for the help on this!

Btw, I had the same experience with the frame option. Forgot to reply to that message. Didn't seem a good default.

@xiota: tried with yay after a similar thought with makepkg.ill add the epoch in a little bit.

@shalzz I just tested with --default-frame, and the effect on my computer is that both the CSD buttons and window manager buttons are present. I'd expect most people wouldn't want that. Why not edit the .desktop file for the user through the desktop environment?

Hi, can you include this CLI option in the desktop file? https://help.beeper.com/desktop/beeper-on-linux-how-do-i-make-beeper-use-system-title-bars Thanks

(btw, the -latest-bin works fine for me here, so looks good to go)
