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.

NoExtract=usr/lib/*/locales/*.pak at pacman.conf sometimes break permission of dir.

@zxp19821005 I'm sorry, can you tell me what a puer install is?

I think you should do a puer install.

I'm having a problem where I can't launch any apps that use electron37 provided by this package.

I did some digging and it looks like the supposed-to-be-executable at /usr/lib/electron37/electron is an empty file for some reason? I tried reinstalling with paru -S electron37-bin, but that didn't solve it.

oech3 commented on 2025-06-16 16:12 (UTC)

If you don't want to maintain launcher as a statically hosted source, you can source=("https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/${_pkgname}/-/raw/e${_major}/electron-launcher.sh").

But, oh no. 37 is exception. You need to sed.

@zxp19821005

In previous electron packages, users requested support for electron-flags.conf, but I'm too lazy to implement it. Could you please have a look?

yurikoles commented on 2025-05-27 21:03 (UTC)

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.
