@italoghost it's probably easier if I add you as a maintainer?

Hi! I've created a new patch that is heavily inspired by the approach taken on pcsx2-latest-bin: it copies all files from the AppImage to /opt/ and makes a symbolic link to the "AppRun" file (which is a shell script with some instructions from the developer on how the program should be run).

As it seems, it diminishes the burden of checking for dependencies and installing the files.

Could you (or anyone) review it and consider it as well?

I have uploaded on my GitHub page, as it has exceeded the maximum number of characters.

Since pkgver is determined on runtime, checksum must be 'SKIP'.

@italoghost Done, thank you!

Hi, I've created a patch that gets the latest version and therefore eliminates the need to update versions manually.

The only thing I'm not too sure I got right is the “pkgver”. I replaced the “-” with “_”, as indicated by ArchWiki, but I don't know if keeping the version number + commit is the most appropriate way to name this field.

Anyway, could you consider this patch?

Missing dependency on pkgbuild file

Building rpcs3-bin...
==> Making package: rpcs3-bin 0.0.29-1 (Sat 11 Nov 2023 17:51:11)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Missing dependencies:
  -> qt6-multimedia
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

after making and installing the package it shows this debug error:

E SYS: Qt version: Compiled against Qt 5.15.2 | Run-time uses Qt 5.15.8

does this mean the package is outdated?

@griffin I follow the github RSS for new releases and I update build updates only if someone flags the package as outdated.

How should we handle in app updates as outdated requests? Only full release numbers, or another strategy?

Hi, what is the difference between rpcs3-bin and rpcs3-git
