A lot of them do only list i686/x86_64, but there are slowly becoming more packages that list arm variants too. I like to think it's mostly because the authors don't have access to an arm device to test. Either way, 'any' is the wrong architecture for a binary package.

@justin8: Can't argue with that. However, I haven't seen any 'binary' package listing arm platforms. They all define arch=('i686' 'x86_64'). I guess because arm platforms are not officially part of arch linux. Building packages for an arm platform, you currently ignore the 'arch=' property by passing -A / --ignorearch to makepkg.

Hi, Having arch=any will actually break it for multiple platforms. Please add the supported architectures as 'i686 'x86_64' 'armv7h' armv6h' etc. If you build it as 'any' it creates a single package that should work on multiple architectures, this instead will create a package that will work on the build machine's architecture, and have any in the name, (and assuming it being built on x86_64) it will now fail to run on an arm machine. EDIT: 'any' is for things like xcursor themes, fonts, possibly simple jar files and other stuff which isn't compiled machine code.

fixed. thanks

What about all the other arm platforms? Why not have arch=('any')? The license is 'GPL3'.

Removed patch since it's fixed upstream.

Done. I also temporarily added a patch for a bug that causes a segfault on malformed .desktop files. https://github.com/enkore/j4-dmenu-desktop/issues/3 I will remove it when the author implements a fix upstream.

Can you please add 'armv7h' to the supported architectures? It builds and works fine on a Samsung Chromebook for me.
