##
##  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!

Package will not build using Paru. This is due to the file Cider/src/resources/version.sh needing to be chmoded after each time that git pull in the PKGBUILD is run. After making the file executable, it builds fine with makepkg but still not Paru.

Note: Have not tried other AUR helpers.

Hi, I don't think this can be built on armv7h.

It will download electron from https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases/releases/tag/v21.0.0%2Bwvcus which doesn't provide any linux arm build.

package won't build on Node.js greater than 17. Use nodejs-lts-gallium instead of nodejs can build.

Thank you again for your great work.

Noted, thanks. I will move this to the stable branch, and create a bin package.

OctopusET commented on 2022-06-26 06:39 (UTC)

Thank you for maintain this package. But this package seems not building itself, and it's using 'deb' binary. I think it should be named 'cider-bin'

I have been unable to recreate this issue. Usually the deb file would be downloaded into the src directory for the package.

Re-tested and failed with the same error. I noticed the "cider_1.5.399_amd64.deb" file downloads into my HOME directory. I'm not sure this is the correct place (espcially if you have something like firejail enabled).

This might just be a bug with a GitHub release, retry the process and it should be fine.
