I've cleaned up the PKGBUILD to:

  • not use git anymore
  • Not download, build, nor use vcpkg
  • build doesn't use zip or unzip so removed deps
  • Added makedepends to enable build
  • Confirmed by clean build inside a chroot

The differences are minimally disruptive but I believe are an improvement and make the build time shorter

Please consider using the tarball available at https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail-export/releases

Specifically https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail-export/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.5.tar.gz for this version

And maybe I'm out of line but vcpkg is on the official repository so you can add it as a build dependency.

Please add submodules as separate entries in source array: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines#Git_submodules
