Thanks @aperez for the fix and testing.
I'll update my build script to use a chroot with pkgctl build.

@barbuk: with the last change that arranges to pick the vte code using Git you forgot to add makepends+=(git), and building in a clean chroot fails. I've pushed one more commit to fix this.
I think glib2-devel should be added as a dependency, with that missing Termite does not compile. (at least not on a new install)
FYI: this pkgbuild seems to be missing a makedep for glib2-devel as the vte subproject breaks during build and reports that it needs glib-mkenums binary
Thank you for still maintaining this!
@dlesnoff: You will need to rebuild Termite after the recent ICU update, and it will work fine with the latest version. Please let me know if a package rebuild does not fix your issue =)
termite requires older versions of icu libraries to launch. libicudata.so.71 libicuuc.so.71
If ctrl-shift-t (open new terminal in same dir) broke for anyone else you need to update the init of that in your rc file. The new one is here https://github.com/aperezdc/termite#id5
tldr; run this command: gpg --recv-keys 91C559DBE4C9123B
@joilnen, This error happens when your computer doesn't have public keys that are needed to verify integrity of sources. It is a generic error it may happen with any package.

While the original Termite maintainers recommend Alacritty now and stopped development, there are still reasons to use Termite—for example if your box does not have OpenGL or Rust does not work for your architecture.
This fork of Termite is actively maintained: it is kept updated with the latest VTE versions, fixes and new features get merged, and whenever enough changes are gathered in the
mainbranch new releases are produced as well :)
