Build issues encountered and resolved (Manjaro KDE 25.0.4):

  1. The package currently requires electron33, which is no longer available in Manjaro/Arch official repos. I had to manually edit the PKGBUILD to set _electronversion=35 (which is available and works).

  2. The first build attempt failed during linking root_store_tool with multiple __rustc::* undefined symbol errors (e.g., __rustc::__rust_alloc, __rustc::__rust_dealloc, etc.). This seems to be related to the prebuilt_rustc_sysroot provided in the source.

Otherwise, the build and installation complete successfully with recent system packages. Thanks for maintaining!
