If you have troubles while updating and you previously created a symlink /usr/bin/shasum for the correct initialization of the outline-client, remove this symlink

I am getting following error:

programmer@macbookpro ~> outline-client
fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted
Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage 
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. 
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE 
for more information
open dir error: No such file or directory

Fix: outline-client --appimage-extract-and-run

Change the Exec= param in .desktop file as well!

A new PKGBUILD should probably be created, as upstream has moved to distributing outline-client as a .deb package: https://support.google.com/outline/answer/15331527

Hey-hey. Here's a patch to make the build for the current version stable. Without it, the build shall break after the stable version is updated in the near future:

It works better than official, and I mean it just works. pkgbuild just works too.

Unable to run Outline Client with desktop-file from application menu due incorrect desktop-file. Looks like it is incorrect to take it from App Image - Exec property of desktop-file equals AppRun --no-sandbox %U, AppRun doesn't exists in system after installation.

At Update to Version 1.13.1-3

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/diff/PKGBUILD?h=outline-client-appimage&id=cd048f4d15fef232938cee578d10cb48d9336dd3

you overwriting outline-client.desktop from sources by extracting same file from App Image. You can remove this line

  ./${_./${_app_image} --app image-extract outline-apps.desktop > /dev/null

or patch desktop-file with sed and remove unneeded desktop-file from sources like in this draft

• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/User:SergeyK/AppImage_package_guidelines

hi, no longer installs. you have to replace options=('!strip') with options=('!strip' '!debug') in PKGBUILD

If you have troubles while updating and you previously created a symlink /usr/bin/shasum for the correct initialization of the outline-client, remove this symlink

@razykov update or orphan this package, pleaase

After clearing yay cache with yay -Sc I was able to update the package
