Arch Linux User Repository

Thanks for maintaining this. It would be helpful to pass command-line arguments in the launcher script. I tried to run multiple instances of the configurator, for which you have to set --user-data-dir, and it didn't work at all, as described on GitHub. :-)

Sure, done.

Can the workaround be included in the mean time so the package is not broken?

Ahh yes, that makes sense, it builds from the release zip, which does not contain the git info... Another workaround is to build inside the AUR package git repo, so it picks the commit hash from there, that is what i always do, so i didn't notice this error. A fix would be to clone the whole repo and it would obviously need git as makedepend then.

I tracked it down to this pull request/commit: https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/pull/1154 hoping for an answer and better solution from the developers.

"Not sure why, but I can't build the latest version..."

+1 ; I was just about to report the exact same thing. This fix / workaround worked for me:

build() {
    cd $pkgname-$pkgver
    git init
    git add .
    git commit -m 'ThereIfixedIt'
    yarn install
    ./node_modules/.bin/gulp dist --linux64
}

Not sure why, but I can't build the latest version:

Yes, thanks, i forgot that npm is only a optional dependency from node. It is added now (also in the blackbox-explorer package).

npm should be added as makedependency, since the build failed for me:

[4/4] Building fresh packages... success Saved lockfile. $ npm run _postinstall /bin/sh: npm: Kommando nicht gefunden. error Command failed with exit code 127.
