Arch Linux User Repository

PSA: Upstream has renamed the project to pear-desktop. Please install pear-desktop-git.

Maintainer of upstream here, I am maintaining an independent fork in order to make progress faster.

And I am making releases there, the adblocker is restored on my fork, you can use the pear-desktop-arjix-git AUR package if you want it.

I am also maintaining a pacman repo with that package pre-built. https://repo.arjix.dev/

you can use it by adding

[arjix]
Server = https://repo.arjix.dev
SigLevel = PackageOptional

to your /etc/pacman.conf

I too wanna ask why the ads blocker is gone. the -bin package has ads blocker, but the album color theme is broken.

why in -git package Ad Blocker is not working.

@SomeAspy: npm is in the Extra repo, not the AUR. This does not use it at all. It sounds a local issue on your end. Build in a clean chroot to avoid your local environment conflicting.

Installation fails without the npm package from the AUR. It does look like you are using PNPM though, so not sure whats going on. The build process also proceeds to use NPM.

@SomeAspy: Thanks for the heads up. I've adapted to upstream changes.

EDIT: Even though upstream is now using Electron 27-beta, the program crashes with 27.0.0-beta.9. I'll see what the latest version is that works and update here shortly.

EDIT 2: It works with Electron 22 & 23, so I'll use 23 for now.

As of commit df1e285 the project moved to TypeScript. This seems to be have broken the PKGBUILD

Application entry file "dist/index.js" in the "/home/[username]/.cache/yay/youtube-music-git/src/youtube-music/pack/linux-unpacked/resources/app.asar" does not exist. Seems like a wrong configuration.

@azurata: Done. That's odd, because cacheFolder is only used with Yarn 2.x and cache-folder is still used with 1.x.
