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Before flagging this package as "out-of-date", please read this: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Please do not flag this package as "out-of-date" if the "new version" is not listed in the output of the aforementioned command.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.

I ran the latest PKGBUILD and noticed a new namcap warnings:

I could solve most of the dependency issues by adding: 'nss' 'alsa-lib' 'nspr' 'poppler'

The following two warnings should be adressed as well: typora E: Missing custom license directory (usr/share/licenses/typora) typora W: File (usr/share/typora/chrome-sandbox) is setuid or setgid.

PING typora.io 100% packet loss from China Mainland. What a pity!

Thanks @xsmile, I've now removed the option to build with the systems electron package since, even after fixing the build script, typora detects these changes and refuses to launch. Besides, it never really was stable since electron updates could break typora at any time.

I get an packaging error while trying to use system Electron:

==> Starting package()...
mv: cannot stat 'tmp/resources/app': No such file or directory

@irgendwr Thanks! Hopefully this will get more attention on their issue tracker.

@xsmile I fixed the file permissions by adding chmod -R go-w "$pkgdir/usr/share/typora/resources/node_modules" to the build script.

Ideally this should be fixed upstream in the original .deb package though. I opened an issue here: https://github.com/typora/typora-issues/issues/4669

One year has passed and several files in /usr/share/typora/resources/app/node_modules/ are still writable by anyone. I notified upstream back then but they ignored it.

Please fix these permissions. Thanks!

@irgendwr I'm glad it's been getting plenty of use. Thanks for picking up the mantle.

Feel free to unpin my maintainer comment. I don't have permission anymore. :)
