Arch Linux User Repository

@picokan I think this needs some updates. pkgver is now 0.16.0.beta

But more importantly, electron16 or electron17 needs to be used, electron18 seems to cause errors.

Sorry for the multiple updates in quick succession, but Arch very recently changed the electron package to be using version 14, which has caused multiple bugs in Freetube.

The default version of electron in Freetube (e.g. for pre-compiled binaries) is likely to be changed back to 13, and I'm also changing the diff files and dependencies here to use it.

@moita I couldn't replicate your problem, but I did find a problem with the current .diff file and the current build.js file that should be fixed now.

I did notice that the path /home/user/.cache/yay/freetube-git/src/FreeTube/dist/linux-unpacked/resources/app.asar is wrong, it should be /home/user/.cache/yay/freetube-git/src/FreeTube/**build**/linux-unpacked/resources/app.asar, but I don't know what could cause that path to be changed.

I'm having problems with git build recently, any ideas?

To ensure your native dependencies are always matched electron version, simply add script `"postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps" to your `package.json`

The most recent error that kept Freetube from compiling was due to a new version of nodejs breaking something. For the mean time, freetube and freetube-git will use node-lts-fermium as a dependency instead.

get this error

@AndyRTR Compilation is failing on my machine even when compiling manually. This looks like it's a bug from the program itself, I'll try contacting the developer.

A fresh git build in a clean chroot fails here. Maybe you know a quick fix? ```renderer (webpack 5.24.3) compiled successfully in 15806 ms
