Workaround for the GPU process isn't usable error can be found here: https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/issues/3044#issuecomment-979289305

Please request a binary rebuild upstream for proper fix.

taskbar icon is misssing.

Adding complexity and dependencies in order to support non-official architectures is not what I would expect in the AUR. This would maybe fit better in some Arch derivatives repo supporting these architectures. The deb packages are adequate for a x86_64 bin package.

@Kewl Hmm... it appears that fuse is required. So yes, it would add a dependency. Having said that, I'm not sure whether that's fuse2 or fuse3.

@Feakster doesn't ./$_appimage --appimage-extract introduce more dependencies?

Hi @Kewl & @jonathon,

This would be my suggestions for an AppImage-based PKGBUILD:

### Prepare ###
prepare() {
    ## Change Directory ##
    cd "$srcdir"

    ## Mark AppImage as Executable ##
    chmod a+x $_appimage

    ## Extract AppImage into squashfs-root Directory ##
    ./$_appimage --appimage-extract

    ## Remove Unnecessary Files ##
    rm squashfs-root/{.DirIcon,AppRun,$_pkgname.png}

    ## Fix Permissions ##
    find squashfs-root -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
    find squashfs-root -type f -name '*.so' -exec chmod 0755 {} \;

    ## Modify Desktop File ##
    sed -i \
    -e "s|^Exec=.*|Exec=/usr/bin/${_pkgname}|" \
    -e '/^TryExec=.*/d' \
    -e '/^X-AppImage-Version=.*/d' \
    squashfs-root/${_pkgname}.desktop
    echo "TryExec=/opt/${_pkgname}/${_pkgname}" >> squashfs-root/${_pkgname}.desktop
}

### Package ###
package() {
    ## Move AppImage Contents to /opt/$_pkgname ##
    install -dm0755 "$pkgdir"/opt/$_pkgname
    cp -RT "$srcdir"/squashfs-root "$pkgdir"/opt/$_pkgname

    ## SUID Sandbox ##
    chmod 4755 "$pkgdir"/opt/$_pkgname/chrome-sandbox

    ## Executable Binary ##
    install -dm0755 "$pkgdir"/usr/bin
    ln -fs \
    /opt/$_pkgname/$_pkgname \
    "$pkgdir"/usr/bin/$_pkgname

    ## Install Icons ##
    for SIZE in 16 32 48 64 128 256 512 1024
    do
        install -dm0755 "$pkgdir"/usr/share/icons/hicolor/${SIZE}x${SIZE}/apps
        ln -fs \
        /opt/$_pkgname/usr/share/icons/hicolor/${SIZE}x${SIZE}/apps/${_pkgname}.png \
        "$pkgdir"/usr/share/icons/hicolor/${SIZE}x${SIZE}/apps/${_pkgname}.png
    done

    ## Desktop Icon ##
    install -dm0755 "$pkgdir"/usr/share/applications
    ln -fs \
    /opt/$_pkgname/${_pkgname}.desktop \
    "$pkgdir"/usr/share/applications/${_pkgname}.desktop

    ## Licenses ##
    install -dm0755 "$pkgdir"/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname
    ln -fs \
    /opt/$_pkgname/LICENSE.electron.txt \
    "$pkgdir"/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE.electron.txt
    ln -fs \
    /opt/$_pkgname/LICENSES.chromium.html \
    "$pkgdir"/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSES.chromium.html
}

It could be simplified further. I'm not sure the ## Remove Unnecessary Files ## & ## Fix Permissions ## steps are necessary.

Apologies for pestering. A trusted user has marked the ARM version of the package I maintain for deletion because it doesn't support x86_64 architectures.

@jonathon: I see, you can check the much more complicated PKGBUILD handling the AppImage ARM package in the AUR. I would prefer to keep it simple and support Arch compatible architectures. Then if you have a simple generic PKGBUILD supporting more binaries, you can share it, why not.

Actually, I meant there there are .tar.gz archives with a pre-compiled binary, e.g. https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/releases/download/v2.13.0/Simplenote-linux-2.13.0-x64.tar.gz . There are several listed under the releases tag (https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/releases/tag/v2.13.0). The AppImage archive is another option with wider architecture support.

@jonathon as indicated in the name this is the bin package, I would also like to see the package from source.

Why does this package use the .deb rather than the .tar.gz? e.g. using the .tar.gz would provide aarch64.
