Arch Linux User Repository

PSA: The build process for this package is known to be broken because it requires older versions of stuff than is available in Arch now. The only way I know of to install it is to use packages that were built back when the npm in Arch was older. You can use my user repository to get the latest successful build.

I changed it to build with yarn (thanks @alf!). I also changed it to use the system's shared electron, to save on space when many electron apps are installed. Looks like it saves 100+ MB on the installed size :)

hi, here is my PKGBUILD

notice that I use git to reduce download and build with yarn run build:dir to reduce build time by skipping unnecessary package

Hi, same error : ==> Starting package()... install: cannot stat 'build/linux-unpacked/snapshot_blob.bin': No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(). Aborting...

Maybe the error is this path ?? : install -D "build/linux-unpacked/snapshot_blob.bin" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname/snapshot_blob.bin"

@paapereira - I, too, am having the same issue with the snapshot_blob.bin.

==> Starting package()...
install: cannot stat 'build/linux-unpacked/snapshot_blob.bin': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...

I'm updating from 0.12.25-2 to 0.13.53-1, but I'm having the following error. Any ideia if it's my system or the package? Anyone else with the same issue?

$ makepkg -sri

 OKAY  take it away `electron-builder`

@dpeukert: thanks for the updated PKGBUILD, I added it

Updated PKGBUILD to the newest version of Marktext and added a desktop file and an icon
