@Edu4rdSHL Yes, just checked, because you removed bash -c it's not working correctly on aarch64 anymore, because it will NOT return "true". (You probably didn't realize the error because it still will correctly on your machine)

@Edu4rdSHL In your latest commit you removed ... bash -c '...' - but without using bash -c it is not working correctly. You need bash -c, I am pretty sure, otherwise it's always empty. Can you check! And THANK YOU! Makes life a bit more easiert now :)

Support for aarch64 has been added with some additional tweaks, please let me know if everything is working as expected.

Thanks a lot @mkurz for the help on it.

@mkurz Thanks a lot for your help! With your patch I was finally able to build and run this package on Asahi-Linux!

@Edu4rdSHL No problem, we can install the fpm dependency when running on aarch64 only, using makedepends_aarch64. Also it's possible to set the USE_SYSTEM_FPM env variable to true only when running on aarch64 also. So for x86_64 absolutely nothing changes. Please give the updated patch below a shot, like run it on your x86_64 system, you will see nothing changes.

@bradpitcher you can also try this patch. Before remove fpm from you system (with sudo pacman -Rn fpm) and you will see when running the new PKGBUILD file that it will complain and after installing it you again will be able to build signal.

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.

bradpitcher commented on 2023-01-11 15:20 (UTC)

@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
