I've updated the PKGBUILD so it should build and install correctly but a lot of the packages/dependencies that NPM pulls in are full of warnings/vulnerabilities/deprecation so install this package at your own risk.

Upstream is not very active with their last commit being over 2 years ago.

Your best bet is to clone the repository and run npm install locally and then run npm audit to fix the dependencies yourself.

Updated PKGBUILD, and it's now building nicely. Thanks @asem, @trulex, and @blumsicle for the fixes!

Disowning, please adopt it to update it :)

Another option is to install from a tarball: package() { cd $srcdir tar czvf "../$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz" "$pkgname" install -D -m644 "$pkgname/LICENSE" "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE" npm install --user root -g --prefix="$pkgdir/usr" "../$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz" }

This fixes it for me package() { cd $pkgname mkdir -p $pkgdir/usr npm install --user root -g --prefix="$pkgdir/usr" cd $pkgdir rmdir usr/etc cd usr/lib/node_modules/ rm castnow mv ../../../../../src/castnow-git castnow cd castnow install -D -m644 LICENSE "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE" }

npm creates a relative symlink /usr/bin/castnow - > ../lib/node_modules/castnow/index.js which results in a broken symlink after the package is generated. A manual fix is needed in the PKGBUILD

blumsicle commented on 2017-05-02 18:32 (UTC)

The PKGBUILD unintentionally adds an empty '/usr/etc' directory. Adding `rmdir "$pkgdir/usr/etc"` after the `npm install ...` fixes that.

No need to flag it out of date, it's a -git version.

trulex commented on 2016-02-28 12:51 (UTC)

No longer conflicts castnow since there's no such package anymore

Are you able to use --tomp4 with avis file? I'm having this problem: https://github.com/xat/castnow/issues/113 Possibly missing a dependency?
