@ITwrx This package intends to make ubports installer able to run without root.

So before you run this tool, you need to install android-udev and reboot entire system first, to make udev rule working.

android-udev package inludes tons of devices and vendors, which will make you able to run adb without root permission.

You can try to stop adb.service and try to run adb devices from terminal, to check if your device is working.

ubports-installer 0.2.5b-3 hangs at "starting adb server" for me.

a few details here: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/852

@bruceutut Thanks. Package looking good.

@matthias.lisin
Thanks for your advice.
I will edit pkgbuild to build from source on github release page, and use system electron as well.

Hello my AUR-friend. I've been playing around wit the ubports-installer and ended up creating a -git package for it. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ubports-installer-git/

Turns out you don't need any root permissions since we have android-udev and you can use the system electron to run the application without any problems.

Since your package isn't suffixed with -bin, it'd be nice if you could build things from source (as recommended). Another advantage of this would be, that you can drop the gconf dependency as well as the entire foreign electron. The package itself will end up around 40MiB in size.

@Stunts `android-tools' just added.

android-tools should also be on the depends array.
