@Jake I can get a script going, but I'm not interested much in co-maintaining this at the moment as I'm busy with some other things.
If you'd like an auto-update script or something, let me know and I can get that going, but that would probably be the limit of my abilities to help.
release-2.8.1-linux2 is now the latest version. Is this getting an update anytime soon?
release-2.7.1-linux1 is now available is this being updated soon?
@immackay any chance this can get updated? If you need a co-maintainer I'd be more than willing to put some time in. I might be able to get a script going that auto-updates it too if you'd want that.
The gconf dependency is no longer needed and now has trouble compiling with the latest release.
@mlerota I have the same slow commit experience you mention. I did find that if I click the "Fetch Origin" button during this waiting I can get the commit to finish instantly.
Anyone having problems with slow commit? Version 2.5.3 works OK, but after that when you click "commit" it takes 45-120 seconds to finish.
I built this package with the gconf dependency removed from the PKGBUILD and it runs just fine. It is included in the upstream Debian package, but the author appears to be unsure whether it is actually needed:
https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/blob/linux/script/package-debian.ts
The upstream RPM does not have the gconf dependency either.
If any of you are having trouble compiling gconf, run this:
sudo pacman -S gtk-doc gobject-introspection gnome-common

ATTN: The hard dependency on
gnome-keyringhas finally been relaxed. I have not tested this thoroughly; your mileage may vary.immackay commented on 2019-10-04 23:52 (UTC)
For whom it may concern: this package depends on Shiftkey's linux support fork, located at https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/
I check this regularly for releases. If you want the newest version, I suggest you check out github-desktop-git and modify the PKGBUILD to use the base repository, with the understanding that the application takes a significant amount of RAM to build.
