@NicoHood More details in this pull request: https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/commit/48ca13f82c20a04e816a263d760bab2254557801

Pushed a new package release. Found a way around the npm issue so moved back to good old npm. Also removed all of their amazon analytics, thereby also fixing the problem mentioned by @vczm. So no more analytics present which also had a great effect on the package size.

They added spy functions to boostnote? Is there any details about that? It seems I will not use Boostnote anymore with those functions.

@clone1612: We can change the source code, its GPL3. No need to ask any maker. https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/blob/master/LICENSE

@vczm That's not an error I can fix. They have added amazon analytics (which are those requests) but they only add the correct key when they package for distribution (so not provided in the source code used to build the package). Unless they provide their analytics id the requests (send by the program, not something I added) will fail.

In theory the analytics could be removed but that would be really changing the source code and I have no idea if the makers would agree to that.

EDIT: Trying to get in touch with them, will see how it goes. Even if its fixed though the requests will still be send (it's their analytics) however they will no longer fail. But working on a solution.

Still not fixed: https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/issues/685
Why do you need to send these requests?

@NicoHood I received a bug report that installations were failing due to an npm error. Failures could be reproduced on my two systems, both with a normal attempt to install and a clean chroot. Sadly I had a bit less time in the past days so this is a (dirty) temporary fix while I look for a definitive solution to the issue, which seems to have appeared with a recent npm update. Will look into that and move back to npm if a fix is found, but for now the focus was on making it possible to install once again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Why did you switch to yarn?

Updated to 0.8.10 with a patch for the errors encountered. File size has significantly increased though, for the largest part thanks to the new amazon analytics modules. I will be however looking in the next days on ways to reduce the size, some tweaks here and there might work.

EDIT: Updated the package with an improved patch where I included a fix for the package size. Reduced size by +- 30 MiB when compared to vanilla 0.8.10.

Working on 0.8.10 but the developers seem to have done some changes which break the app when compiled from source. I have opened a bug report with them and will update when possible. The bug is that when compiled from source notes will not show, which is really a major issue.

@NicoHood Thanks again for the helpful suggestions, I will incorporate them with the next update.

NicoHood commented on 2017-05-27 21:16

@clone1612 Two more suggestions:
* Use cp -a instead of -r
* Prefix the github source with: ${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz::

Nice job, the app works perfect for me! Still waiting for them to GPG sign it so I can move it to [community].
