Arch Linux User Repository

I highly recommend users install OpenAsar, a FOSS alternative to the Electron asar app currently used by Discord. It's smaller, improves performance, removes some tracking, adds customization, and also allows skipping otherwise required host updates. You may also do the latter without OpenAsar by adding "SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true to ~/.config/discorddevelopment/settings.json.

@Edu4500: I was actually looking through that package yesterday, funnily enough. I saw that they changed their install script, but I haven't looked into changing this one as it has not presented any issues. There was an issue with the updater script and the newest version was not pushed to remote. Please also consult the pinned comment for a recommended config option.

Outdated. I just copied Discord-Canary PKGBUILD and changed version, name and source. Pls check it bellow and update the PKGBUILD bc I couldn't open Discord-Dev using the current one in this repo. Thank you.

@slashinfty unfortunately this appears to be a discord problem :( This package only launches discord and it appears to have done that properly, I've never seen discord segfault before. Unfortunately I don't know that I can help you. You may want to try again next time discord updates.

Discord is currently crashing when attempting to launch:

@Tortillas-IT: fixed. Thank you.

one or more package didn't pass the vadility control, any fix?

@TheArcadeBrony: I did not get an email for your comment, so I apologize for the /extremely/ late response. After testing on my own system, I've added the script to the package.
