The go rewrite is out as of version 0.5.0 and replaces in place the older one. See release notes for more details: https://github.com/mautrix/signal/releases/tag/v0.5.0
This means that signald (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/signald) is no longer a requirement and there is a new library, libsignal-ffi (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libsignal-ffi) that is a new requirement.
Hi @matkam. Thanks for sharing your PKGBUILD for the unreleased CI builds from mau.dev
I see from the mautrix/signal github repo and from here https://github.com/mautrix/signal/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md that the go bridge is intended to replace, in place, the now unmaintained python one. So once there is a release of 0.5.0 as a go bridge, I will rewrite this PKGBUILD to continue providing a non binary PKGBUILD of mautrix-signal, which will simply be based on go rather than python.
Best,
Mark.
For anyone wanting the latest Golang version of this Signal bridge, check out https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mautrix-signal-bin
With a duly modified service file inspired from this https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/python/setup.html#systemd-service and pkgver changed to 0.4.1 it seems to be working for me. I don't have the knowledge to tell if dependencies are still correct, but here it's been working for a few minutes now.
Workaround:
According to backlog here: solve the captcha on https://signalcaptchas.org/registration/generate.html, get the token from the Javascript errors (F12, without the
signalcaptcha://prefix) andregister --captcha [token] [number].

I got it to work by "set_profile" directly through the socket-api. It only worked if I set the "about" and "emoji" attributes also. I guess that's what was missing from the bridge implementation
Source: Mautrix-Signal-Bridge message
Instead of set-profile-name use the raw command:
raw --user v1.set_profile {
"about": "Come, join the Matrix.org",
"account": "<your_number>",
"name": "<your name>",
"type": "set_profile",
"emoji": "",
"version": "v1"
}
