Arch Linux User Repository

Hi there, quick update for those wondering: both bruno and bruno-git do not build since the 2.1 release and when I manage to fix the build it does not run. Since updates are made on a best effort basis, do not hesitate to provide help if you have the time to do so. As stated before: help appreciated on here.

** On the reasons under the nvm makedepend.

From @lumac0:

Making nvm a required dependency is a little intrusive if the system is using a different version manager like asdf. Requiring a specific version of node (or just node) may simplify the build.

nvm (as a make dependency) is needed if we want to build bruno with the same node version used by the upstream, which is what's aimed here: same node version, same electron version, etc. This node version will never be used nor stored outside of the packaging directory (please see line 34 in the previous link) and therefore won't contaminate you host with unneeded nodejs versions.

You can find the .nvmrc in the upstream repository here and the requirement for the electron version there.

Please see the related documentation on archlinux's wiki on using nvm in packaging here.

For those interested, same thing about how to build against the system's electron here.

Please note that if you don't want the hassle of building this application, you can use the binary release from github directly from the PKGBUILD under the name bruno-bin.

edit: formatting then using this post to pin some information.

Thank you!

Sorry for the delay, 1.8.0 is now packaged.
