Arch Linux User Repository

Here's a patch to add 'aarch64' support. Working for me with makepkg -s.

@SakuraPuare using unversioned archives is bad packaging practices

here is the latest url https://api.gitkraken.dev/releases/production/linux/x64/active/gitkraken-amd64.tar.gz

AFAIK debug is know default, anyway installing the base-devel package is a pre-requistite for using the AUR https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites

@tyress are you aware that your makepkg is configured to create a debug pacakge? https://man.archlinux.org/man/makepkg.conf.5#OPTIONS You might not need it at all.

I was getting this error initially during install:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) gitkraken-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/5c/6db9b54e4ed82973661935a0eca0c1415196ff exists in filesystem (owned by mongodb-compass-debug) gitkraken-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/5c/6db9b54e4ed82973661935a0eca0c1415196ff.debug exists in filesystem (owned by mongodb-compass-debug) gitkraken-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/73/2e24a29d582f7bc4cea91594e5705a473fc762 exists in filesystem (owned by mongodb-compass-debug) gitkraken-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/73/2e24a29d582f7bc4cea91594e5705a473fc762.debug exists in filesystem (owned by mongodb-compass-debug) gitkraken-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/a2/1553c76c8c586d630a0323710633cdb676ae95 exists in filesystem (owned by mongodb-compass-debug) gitkraken-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/a2/1553c76c8c586d630a0323710633cdb676ae95.debug exists in filesystem (owned by mongodb-compass-debug) gitkraken-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/f4/621c3403815feaf0b0e1f04c3cd0a2aa3dddf0 exists in filesystem (owned by mongodb-compass-debug) gitkraken-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/f4/621c3403815feaf0b0e1f04c3cd0a2aa3dddf0.debug exists in filesystem (owned by mongodb-compass-debug)

Ended up just removing mongodb-compass-debug anyway so install succeeded, but just FYI

The GitKraken.desktop file should be as below. Otherwise authentication will fail with the following error on at least KDE.

Error: Unable to create KIO worker. Unknown protocol 'gitkraken'.

Fixed GitKraken.desktop:

Is the version correct for this? When I installed it via yay it seems to use 9.0.0-1 and then in the application it shows there's an update to 9.0.1.

yay -S gitkraken resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (1) gitkraken-9.0.0-1

Total Installed Size: 333.27 MiB

Looks like version 8.10.0 has been withdrawn, according to the note at https://help.gitkraken.com/gitkraken-client/current/#version-8-10-0. Maybe that's the actual issue?

So downgrading the package to 8.9.1 might fix the issues (if that's possible).

For me I worked around it by wiping the whole /opt/gitkraken folder and extracting https://www.gitkraken.com/download/linux-gzip into it, which likely is now 8.9.1 instead of the 8.10.0 from the package.

The 8.10.0-2 update does not fix the issue for me, still getting:
