@juancarlospaco this is easily done on your own system, not in a PKGBUILD, given that building packages runs as root:

sudo groupadd unrealengine-users
sudo usermod -aG unrealengine-users (your-username)
sudo chown -R root:unrealengine-users /opt/unreal-engine
sudo chmod -R 775 /opt/unreal-engine

Permission issues like this are already mentioned on the UE Arch wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unreal_Engine_4#Installing_from_the_AUR

This is a user system problem; I already did what I could without needing users to do the above by giving the 777 permissions. If it still gives you trouble, you'll have to use the example to solve it or change the install location to somewhere you have user permissions by default (as I cannot do this for you).

Will update to 5.0 when it is released.

As you all noted in this thread, there’s a limitation on accessing forks of the Unreal Engine repo across organizations. To minimize further disruption to your access, we are going to revert the changes made to the mirrored org and add all current and future members to the original EpicGames org.This change to the invite flow will go into effect later this evening Eastern Daylight time. Users currently in EpicGames-Mirror-A will receive an invite to join the original EpicGames org. And will have full access to its repos, forks, and to submit PR’s.

For now, we will be exploring other avenues to support the continued growth of the community.

While we review alternative paths, in order to prevent performance impacts to the repo and continue providing access to active developers, we’ll be removing accounts with a year or more of inactivity beginning in July of 2024

Inactive accounts are those that have not been logged onto for more than a year, created a fork, or submitted a pull request on Github. If your account is removed due to inactivity, you can always rejoin the org and have full access to the UE repo whenever you are ready for development. To do this go to your Epic games account, and ensure your account is unlinked, then re-link to Github.

Thanks for your understanding.

TL:Dr EpicGames have reverted the mirror repo changes done June 10 2024

@mordzerat, "There are no changes for existing users today; you will be able to access the repository as you always have." Existing users would not be members of "EpicGames-Mirror-A", it'd break our access to just use the additional mirror. Existing users can only use the original mirror (they won't belong to the new Organization). New users apparently must use Mirror-A as they're added to that Organization. Epic is aware of this issue, no word yet on fixing this. -You- can use Mirror-A, all us pre-existing users (I'd wager we outnumber New users) can edit the pkgbuild. Edit: The original repo is, as I remind, still available and used, up-to-date. This AUR pkg itself is not out of date but could use tweaking for new users.

@Neko-san, Epic is indeed adding this as a mirror but it belongs to a different organization, so that's an issue for pre-existing users that belong to the original Organization. For now, New users need to use Mirror-A. Unknown what Epic intends to do about Old users. Maybe you could query the user to specify which mirror to use.

@OdinVex @Neko-san

I've asked for access and that's the repot that Epic Games have given.

"The Epic Games GitHub organization is undergoing maintenance to improve our ability to support the ever-growing UE community.

To accommodate this growth, we’ll be creating additional GitHub organizations. To start, there will be one new org—https://www.github.com/EpicGames-Mirror-A, and we anticipate adding more in the future."

For some reason, all of my shortcuts are messed up. When I right-click on an unreal project to generate project files it thinks all of the apps are in my Yay cache folder

@mordzerat, I'm a member of the UE org and can't access 'your' link simply being logged into the site (where anyone logged in as member of the UE org can view the -actual- Unreal repo). Until Epic -themselves- tells us...no. There's no need for a fork mirror anyway, it's no different than simply using the original repo and using CDNs. Your post reeks of an attempt at a supply-chain attack. You're also wrong about the source no longer being at https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine. It is there and it is the only official repo. Not to mention EpicGames-Mirror-A's account/org profile looks like a phish copy. Maybe they just lazily set it up, I don't know, it just reeks and no random post is going to convince any sensible person to swap random repo sources like that.

Neko-san commented on 2024-06-17 03:26 (UTC)

@mordzerat Nonsense, the source is still where it was before and it clones just fine; I'm cloning the repo just fine without issue. Don't confuse people with fishy repo links like that when there's nothing actually wrong with the official repo.

Unreal source on git is no longer https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine , it is now forked via mirrors as an example https://github.com/EpicGames-Mirror-A/UnrealEngine .

Since it's private, it needs 

gh auth login
to access the repositories. 

git ls-remote https://<user name>:<token>@github.com/<repo owner>/<repo name>.git

in case of the mirror it would be 

git ls-remote https://<user name>:<token>@github.com/EpicGames-Mirror-A/UnrealEngine.git

@rabcor, Ryzen Threadripper here, 20-40 minutes for me with plugins, excluding download-times. (4x2TB NVMe RAID0, 64GB RAM, cache, etc...)

This takes hours to compile on a ryzen 9, what ever happened to 40 minutes on an old shitty AMD FX processor? lol.
