Anyone else gets a blank window after the update to 0.24.0?

FreeTube refuses to start under pure wayland session on my machine. adding --ozone-platform-hint=auto does the job for me.


# diff /usr/share/applications/freetube.desktop .local/share/applications/freetube.desktop

< Exec=/opt/FreeTube/freetube %U
---
> Exec=/opt/FreeTube/freetube --ozone-platform-hint=auto %U

When you can, please update to 0.23.10. Thank you for maintaining this package.

Can you update to 0.23.9

Why using the debian package and not the Arch Linux package https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/releases/download/v0.23.8-beta/freetube-0.23.8-beta-amd64.pacman ?

It would be nice to have a wrapper for setting flags like all browsers on Arch.

It would require to have this script in the installation and modifying the .desktop file.

   FREETUBE_USER_FLAGS="$(cat "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/freetube-flags.conf" | sed -e '/^\s*#/d')"
fi

# Note: exec -a below is a bashism.
exec -a "$0" "$HERE/freetube" $FREETUBE_USER_FLAGS "$@"

I have updated the PKGBUILD to use sha256sum.

@impulse, thanks for your willingness to contribute but there are already 2 maintainers on this package. You can always suggest changes on the repo where I push all the PKGBUILD I maintain: https://github.com/bacteriostat/pkgbuilds

FYI, You should replace MD5 checksum with one more modern like SHA-256, you can replace the string md5sums with sha256sums in PKGBUILD, then run updpkgsums.

Here is an example patch:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index aa86be6..608fb18 100755

Also, Feel free to add me as co-maintainer if you want to, i use this package daily so will notice if something ever breaks.

Many Thanks,

James Clarke

May I ask, why use md5sums for "validation" and strip staticlibs?
