Although sometimes electronNM-bin packages are duplicated by the same major electronNM version in extra, AUR rules doesn't forbid providing vanilla binaries from upstream authors, so please don't file deletion requests. E.g. like this rejected one.

@yurikoles Using a pkgver() function in this package to automatically bump updates as @SoftExpert would be against Arch packaging guidelines. Don't do that. You could add a VCS package that did that but it should not be done with regular stable (or -bin) packages.

@bkb, If you need a /usr/bin/electron and want to use the -bin packages then use electron-bin from the AUR. It provides that the say way the official Arch builds do, but using the AUR -bin variants.

@yurikoles As noted by @qubidt this and all other elecronNN-bin packages should NOT have provides=(electron), only provides=(electronNN). Please remove all those, this is causing a mess all over the Electron ecosystem since the upstream change to the electron meta package approach.

@SoftExpert

Yes, in theory, it's possible, but I don't know how to do this in practice. Could you please provide some examples?

SoftExpert commented on 2023-07-05 22:26 (UTC)

@yurikoles: you could read the version in pkgver() method from GitHub, so that the package detects automatically the latest release ...

please update to the latest bin version

tl; dr: electron22-bin is a virtually useless package. We are forced to use the non aur version

You can see that the official electron package in the community repo (https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/electron/) provides electron22 and contains both /usr/bin/electron and /usr/bin/electron22. The goal is /usr/bin/electron always points to the latest version of electron supported officially by Arch, and if users want a specific version they can point at /usr/bin/electron<VERSION>.

tl;dr: if you want /usr/bin/electron, just install the electron package

If they replace the other electron, how I'm supposed to have a /bin/electron by using those? Basically electron22-bin is totally unusable in production as it deletes /bin/electron

qubidt commented on 2023-03-30 21:12 (UTC)

Since none of these electron<N>-bin packages have a /usr/bin/electron, they really shouldn't have provides=('electron'). See electron20 or electron21 in the community repo. The only thing this package should provide is electron24.

/usr/bin/electron-latest is unnecessary (IMO). If anything, it would just be /usr/bin/electron, but that means this package would better be named electron-bin (perhaps appropriate, at least once a stable release of electron v24 is out)

Link /bin/electron-latest to /bin/electron

Link /bin/electron24 to /bin/electron-latest

Or something
