This package just repackages the binary tarball from upstream. There is also rocketchat-desktop in AUR, which builds from source and should be preferred, if possible.

tperami: good idea – done.

Could you mark this package as providing and conflicting with rocketchat-desktop? That would allow the installation of one of them to automatically uninstall the other

I switched to this package today (again) because the update of electron to 16.0.7-2 breaks the ability to scroll up when using rocketchat-desktop (recompiling does not solve the problem). So yeah, this package is definitely needed because it is the less troubled road of using Rocketchat on Arch. I had to use it several times in the past because rocketchat-desktop had issues.

Today I had to use this package as the one build in rocketchat-desktop caused electron errors on launch. So there's still a use-case for me. :)

Does anybody still need this package? There is also rocketchat-desktop, which should be preferred, because it builds from source.

@aminvakil: Thanks! Usually I'm using the regular linux kernel, but you're right, I accidentally booted linux-harded that time. Can you explain what's different for linux-hardened that those special permissions are required for Rocket.Chat?
aminvakil commented on 2021-03-23 13:20 (UTC)
@user20159 Do you use linux-hardened? That's normal then.
buzo commented on 2021-03-23 13:08 (UTC)
Strange. rocketchat-desktop works smoothly for me. And I'd rather not want to have a setuid root binary packaged, since the security risk is too high.
Do you have any special setup, user20159?
