##  AUR/cider needs an Apple Music Token to work!
##
##  An Apple Music Token can be created via the Apple Developer Program.
##
##  https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applemusicapi/generating-developer-tokens
##
##  Once created, edit Cider's .desktop file
##
##    sudo nano /usr/share/applications/sh.cider.Cider.desktop
##  
##  Then in the Exec line add the TOKEN value.
##  For example, if your token is eyJhbGciOiJFUz, then Exec line will be:
##
##    Exec=env TOKEN=eyJhbGciOiJFUz CIDER_PORT=9000 /usr/bin/cider %U
##
##  Cider uses port 9000 by default. To change, edit CIDER_PORT variable.
##
##  Save the .desktop file and enjoy!

Noted. I'll apply the patches you mentioned previously. There is a chance in the future this package may get replaced with the Cider 2 launcher. I'll keep you all posted on this. There is also a chance I will no longer be able to update this. Since creating this, I have moved away from arch to nixos, so maintaining this package will be tricky.

I'd prefer the package beeb reserverd for those who wants an open-source alternative for Apple Music on Linux

I was the one who archived it, should the package just be removed then?

Btw the source repo archived on 2024/12/10

Latest release depends on node.js v20.2.0, which can't fetch static resources from googleapi CDN in a network environment that prefers IPv6 but can't actually connect with v6. Issue is as https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/47822 . Also the rpmbuild always fails. Here's my patch to workaround issues above.
