Arch Linux User Repository

This is no longer the same package as it was. The original popcorntime is dead and a new repo has taken it's place with the exact same name and a similar goal but fundamentally different. This package should probably be deleted (the package does not work any more either - nothing loads).

If somebody want's to package the new popcorntime, I don't know how that should be handled to prevent people from receiving the new package as an update to this one.

Indeed, once I'm home I'll fix all of the issues with this package

Unfortunately, the git repo has appeared to been moved to here (the old url redirects here): https://github.com/popcorntime/popcorntime

However, just by updating the PKGBUILD with the new URL and shortened branch name of 'dev' fails as the file structure has changed - there's no yarn.lock (perhaps it's a completely different source tree or the build tools have been changed?)

What is going on with the permissions of /usr/share/popcorntime?

Missing npm in makedepends to build in clean chroot.

I am getting some kind of npm build error when I try to install it.

Error: Command failed: npm ls --production=true --parseable=true npm ERR! code ELSPROBLEMS npm ERR! invalid: webtorrent@0.118.0 /home/faisal/.cache/yay/popcorntime-git/src/popcorntime/node_modules/webtorrent

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /home/faisal/.npm/_logs/2021-06-03T11_38_15_690Z-debug.log

To get this to build you need to update gulpfile.js according to this https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/compare/development...popcorn-time-ru:nw-location

I created a patch file and updated my PKGBUILD
