I have a problem with: ExecStart=/usr/sbin/chsh -s /usr/bin/sh guest
output error: Changing shell for guest. chsh: Warning: "/usr/bin/sh" is not listed in /etc/shells. Shell changed.
$ cat /etc/shells
/bin/sh /bin/bash
/bin/zsh /usr/bin/zsh /usr/bin/git-shell
It will work with: ExecStart=/usr/sbin/chsh -s /bin/sh guest
now should be fixed
@Akrai thanks, no problem with the firewall now.
There's a problem with this update, it keep asking to be updated to 18.b2ba022, because pkgver=18.b2ba022 and echo "$(git rev-list --count HEAD).$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" will change pkgver to 17.b2ba022
regards
@azurata done, test if it does work for you now
I couldn't install this, a corporate firewall was blocking git port. Because every firewall would allow https it would be a benefit to use git over htttps
source=("${pkgname}::git+https://github.com/a-m-s/$pkgname")
regards
Updated, thank you!
Wow, I forgot I forked this! Glad it was useful.
package working again
OK, I've disowned the package. Thanks.
no Alad, i installed this package long time ago when the original repo was online, time after that when i wanted to install it in another computer i realised it was deleted, i started searching and found the fork that contains exactly the same as the original one. I downloaded it too just in case the fork goes offline too.

Installing the package gets your system ready to use the guest user, which is basically a normal user with a tmpfs home folder (which gets erased after every reboot, not after a logout), but please notice two things:
You probably want to add the guest user to some system groups you may consider in order to be able to use some resources of your computer, the same way as any other human user
The script copies any file placed in the /etc/skel/ folder to the guest home after every reboot, intended mainly for copying config files you may consider useful to copy in every new guest session, for example if you need special graphical or network config files placed in order to get a properly working guest user. Any suggestion is welcomed
