Because the same issues come up over and over, here are some FAQs/tips:

  • Check if you still need this. It is in the AUR because it is EOL and removed from Arch official repos since no official packages depend on it. If none of your other packages depend on it, just remove it.
  • If you do still need it and don't want to build it, consider switching to electronNN-bin.
  • If you do build this, yes it takes about 40 Gigs of sources and a lot of CPU to build.
  • Using the chroot build methods recommended by Arch will make this much easier, especially to not run into conflicts with node versions, etc.

@aliu You don't need the LTS to run this but you do need it to build it properly. Build it in a chroot so that you don't have to change the nodejs on your host system.

Do we need LTS hydrogen though? It made me unable to install this due to conflicts with my local, latest nodejs, which is required due to other electron versions I have installed.

The chromium repo is over 30 GB. Do we really need to clone the whole repo? Can't we just clone the linux part?

Yes. If nothing needs it, of course you can delete it.

@aliu So can I delete electron25 safely? because it seems absurd to me to have 2 identical programs ...

aliu commented on 2024-03-11 12:59 (UTC)

Probably Rcns 25 then. That should mean that nothing depends on it.

If, on the other hand, I try to uninstall Electron 27 (yay -R electron27) replies that it is impossible because required by Code

gattino commented on 2024-03-11 12:52 (UTC)

I tried to give the command, this is the result:

[gattino@cryptux ~]$ yay -R electron25
[sudo] password di gattino:

gattino commented on 2024-03-11 12:48 (UTC)

@aliu I didn't try to do the -R because I didn't know if it would have created problems for me uninstalling it!
