Arch Linux User Repository

PSA: Upstream does not support building natively for ARM64, only cross-compiling. You can use mullvad-vpn-bin instead.

--> ALWAYS DO A CLEAN BUILD <--

This package will verify the signature of the git tag / commit. Developer keys are available here and instructions are here. See the PKGBUILD to determine which developer key you need.

Please do not create upstream issues about the AUR package, they do not support it.

@yataro sorry, I didn't get what you said.

I don't think Mullvad's own CI will use this repo. My environment is a self-hosted Jenkins that builds packages and publishes them to a self-hosted repo. It does not use any Mullvad or some other vendor packaging and/or publishing scripts, it uses makepkg, some pacman built-in scripts like repo-add and aurutils.

@Bitals This change only affects the mullvad publish itself, CIs that publish their mullvad build should use the original repository and not the AUR package :) As for AUR CIs, they publish the built package as an artifact, so also avoid the downside of this change

@yataro it does work. @yochananmarqos please add this patch, as I see no downsides for regular local builds, but for CIs not having that will force users to maintain their own fork.

That's strange, build for me was successful. Are you sure that patch is applied successfully? Try it with makepkg if you are using any AUR helper

Still the same error after patch, will use bin version for the time

@Bitals Can you try this?

It tries to publish my build on Github lol.

My guess would be it detects CI environment and does this. Usually this is configurable with an ENV var, but I gave up on navigating Mullvad Github Actions, so I have no idea what it is here, sorry.

@patlefort There is no npm in makedepends because nvm provides both node and npm

https://github.com/gulpjs/vinyl-fs/issues/350 https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/52707

@yochananmarqos Can you use the LTS node for the build?

nvm install "${_nodeversion}"

Installs the latest one, cuz _nodeversion is not defined anywhere. Also, you're not calling nvm use, not a big deal - nvm will use the latest installed version of node, but I'm sure it's better to do this explicitly.

@patlefort @JackStorm Can you try with this patch?

I see npm makedepends was removed, but it it still required. Also, I get the same error as JackStorm.
