Arch Linux User Repository

@leonardder I've published a new pkgver that should work for both aarch64 and armv7h. Can you ensure it works for you?

One downside to this is that we lose the manpages. In my mind this is a fair trade, if anyone disagrees, let me know.

Could you please consider using the .tar.gz sources for this package and add support for the aarch64 architecture in the process?

Should depend on lttng-ust2.12 instead of lttng-ust?

@jakebailey I did some testing and it seems to work fine without openssl-1,0 as far as I can tell. No problems running:

Invoke-RestMethod -SslProtocol Tls12 https://google.com

I'll push a new pkgrel with the dependency removed and we'll see if any issues surfaces when people upgrade.

I posted this on the other powershell package, but I'll ask here as this is affected too: Does this package need openssl-1.0? dotnet has been able to use 1.1 (what's in the Arch repos) for a while now, and switching the PKGBUILD (so I don't have openssl-1.0 installed) still produces a usable pwsh. IIRC dotnet programs are smart enough to pick up the newest available one, but maybe I'm not testing this enough to tell if it breaks.

Hi, Is this package going to be updated? Is it still being maintained?

Hey, this has been out-of-date for a while. Would you like help with the maintenance?

In re curl, I'm not sure where the previous poster found the dependency, the obvious sources don't seem to rely on it:

package seems to depend on curl and the LICENSE is not placed in correct dir. There are also two broken symlinks, which can be all fixed by:

Anyone else having an issue with pwsh taking > 60 seconds to load?

Once it's done whatever initialization stuff it does it runs fine but it takes around 60 seconds to get from:

I read on the github issues some people say it's checking for updates and you can disable that with an env variable but it sounds like it's unsupported on linux thus far. Or maybe it's just me?
