Arch Linux User Repository

I've added https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent-bin as optional dependency, I worked on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent a bit to build it from source, but I have a weird issue with it so I'm not depending this package on that by default for now.

For those who know a bit about rust packaging, the issue with building from source for me is: - If I copy the build so file using cp command it works fine - If I package it (using install in PKGBUILD) and put the file there by installing the package using pacman, It doesn't work! although the files have the same checksum.

I have no idea why is that and am open to any help on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent package

@shoryuken thank you, that worked!

@ali.molaei I'm not sure of technicalities of dependencies, but if you cannot force network-manager-applet as a dependency I think you should at least pin some comment explaining that getting it might fix issues. As it stands I accidentally found the solution at other package page https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/protonvpn-cli#comment-951908, and only since it's the newest one.

Getting the following error when running protonvpn-app.

@ali.molaei please read ArchWiki mentioned by @xdzzz and this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

@ali.molaei FYI base-devel is a prerequisite called out in the AUR wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites

@k0r0ng I don't get where's your frustration comes from :) we can have a calm polite conversation :)

About the git makedeps, It is right now a makedeps for this package so you should have it when installing all the dependencies, and I don't know what could be your usage of other packages without the main package, so: 1. That's not a big deal 2. I try to add it to the other packages when a new update reaches, I don't want to push updates to people that changes nothing for them right now 3. I simply forgot to do this for the other packages, I'll try to remember next time ;)

About the checksums, thanks for the tip, and I'll add them eventually.

About the base-devel, I don't think everyone has base-devel installed as it's not mentioned in the Wiki :) https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Install_essential_packages

@ali.molaei I don't know how many times I should tell you to add git as makedepends not just for this package, but also for all your packages you maintained this package depend on which is python-proton-*. Also you can add sha256sums with (again, not just for this package):

makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD

Edit: you also can remove patch from makedepends because it's already required by base-devel

Installed this version on my xfce DE but whenever I try to connect it after logging in to my account it doesn't work. I then have to manually change /etc/resolv.conf to get general internet working again as the name servers are altered by erroneously functioning protonvpn.

@cherkaba I'm not getting this error, not sure why is that happening for you

@ali.molaei, thank you!
