Arch Linux User Repository

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:

PowerShell 7.0.3

PS /home/user>

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?

Sorry for the delay, updated.

Are there any plans to get this on the current powershell 7 stable? I might be able to help, however, I confess I haven't done an aur package in a long time...

This has been flagged out-of-date three weeks ago. Is the maintainer still around?

This worked for me, using the .tar.gz source, rather than the .deb package:

package() {
  mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/local/lib/powershell
  cp -r ${srcdir}/* ${pkgdir}/usr/local/lib/powershell

  mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/local/bin
  ln -s /usr/local/lib/powershell/pwsh ${pkgdir}/usr/local/bin/pwsh
}

This worked for me for 7.0.0: https://pastebin.com/HXw9nLrq

For powershell 7:

• changed dependencies

• use _pkgver var for detecting major version

• use sha256 for validation, as that is also printed on the releases page on github.
