@vasya fixed it :) Thanks for pointing it out :)

Thanks for the package! I have a few question on the package (that my aur client, RUA, gives me):

In /dev/stdin line 57:
    find "${pkgdir}/opt/DeltaChat/electron_app/node_modules/" -name *.js.map -exec rm {} \;
                                                                    ^------^ SC2061: Quote the parameter to -name so the shell won't interpret it.
                                                                    ^-- SC2035: Use ./*glob* or -- *glob* so names with dashes won't become options.


In /dev/stdin line 65:
    ln -s "${pkdir}/opt/DeltaChat/deltachat" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/deltachat"
           ^------^ SC2154: pkdir is referenced but not assigned (did you mean 'pkgdir'?).

In human words, it seems that there's a typo with "pkdir" instead of "pkgdir" and that quotes are needed to avoid shell globbing. Can we please fix it? Thanks!

@tercean you are right, it works with python now, no python2 is required

This needs 'python' in makedepends and the prepare-stage is actually the build-stage. After both modifications it builds fine in a clean chroot.

@Jikstra thanks for the update, I just did a rebuild on my laptop and noticed that python2 is also required

@elovin we are currently depending on compiling the rust core from source on the git master. Normally we have prebuilds and people don't need to have a rust compiler around, but currently we do as we do quite some changes on the node bindings. To fix this it should be enough to install rustup, i recently did it with "sudo pacman -S rustup", you can also install it from https://rustup.rs/. It's like rust version tool, automatically installing the right rust version that's needed.

tl;dr: If creating the package fails because the command cargo isn't found or the rust compiler can't compile, try installing rustup and give it another try.

@Jikstra currently the build fails because the core rust code requires a rust nightly compiler

rustc --explain E0554` tells me:

"Feature attributes are only allowed on the nightly release channel. Stable or beta compilers will not comply"

Installing the rustup package (which replaces rust) was however enough for the build to pass.

Weird as it works now....I am using Pacman. Thanks for teh quick reply and testing! I did nothing....I simply tried again. Who knows why the error....
