ATTN: The hard dependency on gnome-keyring has 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.

Is it possible to install this in armhf or arm64 (Raspberry Pi)?

As Elanzer pointed out the PKGBUILD needs to be updated because the binary is one directory deeper. I guess this is the problematic line: printf "#!/bin/sh\n\n/opt/${_pkgname}/github-desktop \"\$@\"\n" | install -Dm755 /dev/stdin "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/${_pkgname}" Where the actual binary location is /opt/github-desktop/github-desktop/github-desktop The other way around is to manually replace the symlink to said bianry.

I had to update /usr/bin/github-desktop script to /opt/github-desktop/github-desktop/github-desktop "$@", because it was pointing to the directory.

Is gnome-keyring actually needed? Because GitHub Desktop just starts even if I enter a wrong keyring password.

gnome-keyring is an optional dependency on the non-bin version but a required one here?

Attempting to run yields

[11378:0304/135030.607839:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/github-desktop/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
/usr/bin/github-desktop: line 3: 11378 Trace/breakpoint trap   (core dumped) /opt/github-desktop/github-desktop "$@"

Addressed by running

cd /opt/github-desktop
sudo chown root chrome-sandbox 
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox

@immackay, likely you must update your .SRCINFO, cause yay is giving me a warning about my github-desktop-bin version is newer than AUR

Should change line 29 of PKGBUILD to:

printf "#!/bin/sh\n\nLD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurl-openssl-1.0.so /opt/${_pkgname}/github-desktop \"\$@\"\n" | install -Dm755 /dev/stdin "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/${_pkgname}" }
