I've created a package fvm-sourcebuild for those who want to build the engine from sources. It will cache build artifacts in the same place as flutter-engine (~/.cache/flutter-engine).

@xiota The app now have the application ID org.localsend.localsend_app, and you should set it as the StartupWMClass in the localsend.desktop file so it can show the icon of the app on the dock etc. Maybe it's also a good idea to save the localsend.desktop as a file in the AUR repo instead of inline it in the PKGBUILD file.

Set _use_sodeps=true would have libayatana-appindicator missing from the list of dependencies:

localsend: error while loading shared libraries: libayatana-appindicator3.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@xiota: There also now a CLI build with Rust. Could you include it as a split package, perhaps?

Why is the build dependency rustup instead of cargo?

Hi, I think it would be beneficial if the package included an UFW application rule, like KDE Connect has. Something like this:

[LocalSend]
title=LocalSend
description=LocalSend
ports=53317/udp|53317/tcp

And a message in an .install file to warn users to activate the rule with sudo ufw limit "LocalSend". UFW is probably the most used firewall in Arch and IIRC with the default rules the Arch Wiki recommends, Localsend port doesn't work.

The license field is outdated. The project was converted to the Apache 2.0 license a couple of years ago.
