menloresearch is what the org used to be, and they renamed it janhq. I didn't notice that, so thanks for pointing it out

Hello is there a reason why the base url is https://github.com/menloresearch/jan and not https://github.com/janhq/jan?

Dear @AlphaLynx can you please add jq to the makedepends, as it is required for building this package.

This was orphaned, so I've adopted this and updated it to the latest version, and made a couple changes to the PKGBUILD

Any chance of getting an update to this?
