Hi! I think you could improve the PKGBUILD by linking the AppRun instead of the whole AppImage. You are already extracting the AppImage, so add the contents of the "squashfs-root" folder to '/opt` and symlink from there.
You can use one of my packages as an inspiration.
Yeah, AppImageLauncher has been broken for months. Several users have reported this issue and it's solved by uninstalling it.
The solution appears to be uninstalling appimagelauncher entirely? Figured it out when trying to troubleshoot an entirely different appimage.
The appimage just doesn't work on my system. It always throws Failed to get runtime: No such file or directory (os error 2) whether it's extracting or being run normally.
Not sure what's causing that, but seems unrelated to this package.
queenbiscuit311 I don't have that issue on my side, but regardless I updated the whole script to now use their GitHub releases which previously didn't exist, so try it again.
Okay, never mind, trying to open the appimage in general does that. I'll have to file a bug report, if I can figure out how.
Trying to install gives me this:

Aborting...The command with the problem seems to be ./"${_appimage}" --appimage-extract. May have to extract manually rather than making the appimage do it.
For 0.0.2-pre-alpha:
Other than that, this looks good. You can also use source builds for the eden package if you make it alongside direct git clones on eden-git.

Following AUR guidelines this package will only update when a new stable release is dropped. I have uploaded a new package called eden-preview-bin which will contain RC's / beta's (depending on stability). This package will also be using the newer binaries not the less performant one's targetting compatibility. If you need those compatibility binaries feel free to copy my PKGBUILD and post your own AUR page for them.
