Arch Linux User Repository

This package follows the Linux enabled fork releases here. Please do not flag it as OOD when the upstream Windows/OSX only Microsoft project updates but when the Linux enabled builds are available from @shiftkey. Thank you.

I'm getting an identical build error to @santilococo What can we do about it?

Hi, Im getting this build error. Do you know what can I do? TY.

@Joshix Thanks for the dependency tip, I'll get that updated.

pls depend on org.freedesktop.secrets instaed of gnome-keyring

Many thanks to @shiftkey (the maintainer of the upstream Linux fork this uses) for identifying and fixing the build issue, this is back up to date.

@tsbarnes or anyone: I see this is out of date but I've been unable to build the newer versions. Something goes wrong during the webpack stage in relation to emoji or something. I don't have the time to dive deeper right now, but I'd be happy to apply a patch (or accept a PR here) if anybody figures out what the trouble is and how to fix it.

I had nodejs-lts-dubnium-10.24.0-2 installed and couldn't build github-desktop 2.8.2-1 until I upgraded to nodejs-16.2.0-1.

@PolpOnline The upstream GitHub Desktop project is not Linux friendly. This package build is reliant on this patched fork, hence please only flag this as out of date when that project has a matching release.

Please use a temporary Yarn cache, same premise as Node.js package guidelines:

yarn install --cache-folder "$srcdir/yarn-cache"
