As i migrated to GoToSocial, i am no longer using Mastodon, hence testing this package. So i gave up maintainership.

Missing dependency on corepack:

/home/kouta/.cache/rua/build/mastodon/PKGBUILD: línea 62: corepack: orden no encontrada

Maybe was transitive dependency and is no longer depended on by some of the packages?

All right, i'll continue, i don't want to see this abandoned. I am working on the 4.4 Package right now, PLEASE!, read the post install instructions when you install it. I am not kidding. This needs manual intervention, you have to do this. The upgrade is coming today

Thanks for your all your efforts, hopefully someone keeps it going

I am giving up this package, anyone feel free to pickup.

I simply have no time anymore due to other projects and this pile of ruby is absolutely no fun to package and test

The Mastodon Developers only support nginx though. Other Webservers did sometimes work in the past, but a after a few updates it suddenly stopped working and in case with Apache, afaik, nobody got it ever working again.

They do not care about other Webservers. The Team behind Mastodon develops and tests for nginx, if you use something else, you are on your own if it doesn't work.

So i am not sure if an Wikipage describing how to get it running in an unsupported environment is really that helpful because, when it breaks and there is nothing you can do because Mastodon expects an Nginx feature/setting, there is nothing you can do. And they would, rightfully, complain that they followed an Archlinux Wiki Page that told them, how to set it up an a way where it is known to break in the future.

Mastodon only supports nginx, nothing else. If someone doesn't want to use nginx, he should not run a mastodon server but use one of its many alternatives (imho)

I came up with configuration stanzas that make it work with lighttpd, I should probably post them somewhere.

Seems like this is something that could use a wiki page.

The resources are there, they are just not delivered to the browser. That is a very common error, it means your webserver config is wrong.

would you mind checking my post reddit? i really have no idea how i can mess up the compilation so that it delivers html correctly but the js resources are missing. https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/1lp4q9y/
