  • The pkgbuild is hosted at https://github.com/FabioLolix/PKGBUILD-AUR_fix

  • Upstream isn't interested with problems with heroic-games-launcher or heroic-games-launcher-git so don't report them right away; retry with heroic-games-launcher-bin

This package should use electron31 instead of electron. Using unsupported electron versions can cause issues, and such issues will lead to upstream bug reports.

Hello, there is a not blocking gyp error for missing python when building with devtools, same as https://github.com/FabioLolix/PKGBUILD-AUR_fix/pull/46#issuecomment-2380637987

I have approved the PR on github for building heroic-games-launcher using system's electron but is failing for me

It would be very beneficial to only package heroic itself (eg. app.asar and app.asar.unpacked but without the win32 folder)

PR welcome here: https://github.com/FabioLolix/PKGBUILD-AUR_fix/tree/master/h

Stripping and compressing takes this long because it processes all of electron too. It would be very beneficial to only package heroic itself (eg. app.asar and app.asar.unpacked but without the win32 folder)

Save time? You mean while compressing the package?

While stripping

If you've taken care of your Pacnews after updating to Pacman 7, you'll notice that it's faster now.

Haven't

I just built in a clean chroot with stripping enabled and it didn't complain this time. Odd.

Either way, there's no reason to ship Windows binaries.

There's no reason to disable stripping

For what I recall I disabled it to same time

It's complaining about the Windows binaries

What the complain?

yochananmarqos commented on 2024-09-20 23:52 (UTC)

@FabioLolix: There's no reason to disable stripping. It's complaining about the Windows binaries, just remove them:

# Remove Windows binaries
  rm -rv "${pkgdir}/opt/heroic/resources/app.asar.unpacked/build/bin/x64/win32/"

upstream using a custom version of electron which supports DRM, while it is not supported in the Arch packages

That is no longer true, Heroic has reverted back to using standard electron. See here

FabioLolix commented on 2024-09-10 19:45 (UTC)

is there a reason to not use system electron?

Aside that I'm not pratical with that

Yes, see this I don't think things have changed meanwhile https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org/message/ULRU76CEQWVNDISFAFDE52WHM2XQYNHE/

[...] upstream using a custom version of
`electron` which supports DRM, while it is not supported in the Arch
packages.
