Arch Linux User Repository

Before flagging this package as "out-of-date", please read this:

First of all, I appreciate your help, but I'm already running a script that notifies me once a new version is available. Please wait 1-2 days before flagging, unless it is critical. Usually I manage to push updates on the same day as Typora releases them.

Also: The latest version on their website might not be the latest Linux repository version. E.g. because some updates do not have any changes related to Linux.

To check the latest Linux version, run the following command: curl -s https://www.typora.io/linux/Packages | grep Version | cut -f 2 -d ' ' | sort -V | cut -f 1 -d '-' | uniq

Please do not flag this package as "out-of-date" if the "new version" is not listed in the output of the aforementioned command.

Typora is no longer completely free since it's out of beta. It is possible to use Typora for free on Linux; Some restrictions may apply. See the official FAQ: "Can I use Typora for free?" for more details. Alternatively you can purchase a license.

Please report issues with Typora here: https://github.com/typora/typora-issues

@xsy420 looks like a neat tool, but my simple shell script is working fine, so I don't see a reason to switch.

The release page might show newer versions, but I'd rather follow Typoras APT repository since that's also the recommended "source of truth" for most of the other distributions.

what about using nvchecker to get newer version? like this

[typora-amd]
source = "regex"
url = "https://typora.io/releases/stable.html"
regex = "typora_([0-9\\.]+)_amd64.deb"

[typora-arm]
source = "regex"
url = "https://typora.io/releases/stable.html"
regex = "typora_([0-9\\.]+)_arm64.deb"

Sorry for the broken update, should be fixed now. Thanks for reporting it Catoverflow et al. and for the fix suggested by osaukko, thorko and tixwho :)

Upstream did not publish 1.10.7 for aarch64 yet for some reason, so that will stay at 1.10.6 for now.

I also noticed that two dictionary files have global write access enabled, so I added a workaround for that and will report it to upstream.

Arm64 still uses tar.xz, while amd64 uses tar.zst. Possible fix:

Hi, the debian packaging changed the compress algorithm to zstd. so the line need to be changed to

bsdtar -xf data.tar.zst -C "$pkgdir/"

Regards thorko

ditto, failed to open data.tar.xz.

bsdtar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'data.tar.xz'

Looks like typora changed their compression file from .tar.xz to .tar.zst. Changing the suffix on line 25 fixes the issue.

In the most recent build I got

==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
bsdtar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'data.tar.xz'
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: typora-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
typora - exit status 4

I checked with ar -x, seems Typora switched to data.tar.zst from data.tar.xz

@KafCoppelia thanks, I updated the url, but I didn't increase pkgrel since this should not trigger an unneeded package update.
