Has anyone else validated that it will work for x86_64 with the proposed patch? Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical about adding fpm as dependency.

@mkurz Fair enough! Yes, as long as it gets applied I'm happy. I've also been using this in Asahi for several months and a couple different versions and it's working perfectly.

mkurz commented on 2023-01-11 15:13 (UTC)

@bradpitcher yeah sure, that's a bit shorter, however mine is "safe" in case there would be other folders name similar. However in reality we could use your line.

@Edu4rdSHL would be really nice to consider applying my patch (with the change from bradpitcher if you like) so we don't need to maintain our own patches... Thanks! I do use this since Summer and it worked everytime upgrading your package.

bradpitcher commented on 2023-01-11 15:04 (UTC)

Hey @mkurz I posted a nearly identical patch a few days ago, but the change in package() is a bit simpler

cp -a release/linux-*unpacked "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/${pkgname}"

and that's forward compatible with any different folder names electron might use with other arches

@hotschi @Edu4rdSHL I am the somebody from GitHub who mentioned that I am able to build this package for aarch64 (since many months actually). And I still can with the latest release (6.2.0-beta.3). Below is the patch you need to use... @Edu4rdSHL maybe you can finally integrate that into this package? The change is very subtle, so instead of using outdated fpm that comes with electron builder, we pull in the current fpm version and use that to build the package. Easy. You just need to apply my patch with git apply /path/where/you/saved/the/cool.patch

Oh sorry for the inconvenience, I didn't know that! I ignored the warning/error of the PKGBUILD since somebody mentioned in an issue of the signal repo on github (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6063#issuecomment-1235329786), that he was able to build this package for aarch64.

Edu4rdSHL commented on 2023-01-11 07:10 (UTC)

The package only supports x86_64 at the moment as you can see in the PKGBUILD.

I am using the default Asahi-Linux distribution, which consists of a modified kernel but a standard aarch64 Archlinux as far as I know.

I stumbled across this package since I sread somewhere that this will work on aarch64 Archlinux.

Edu4rdSHL commented on 2023-01-11 06:40 (UTC)

Can you tell me what distro are you using? Arch or some Arch-based distro?

It's building fine here: https://gist.github.com/Edu4rdSHL/f2f536cdc4ebd11f794c87df7ed237dd
