Arch Linux User Repository

The repo has been restored, a new release has been made, and the package has been updated.

Hi, Akira. Thank you for bringing this information to us, I will get in touch with the developers to understand a bit better what's happening right now and then I will update this package when a few questions that I have are clear.

@yochananmarqos it was announced in their discord server, in #releases (https://discord.gg/88P2n2a). I'm not aware of any other public communication channel they're using

@akira: Could you link to something that the original developer mentions this?

they've decided to push releases on one of the maintainers' forks for now while they wait for github to reinstate the main repo: https://github.com/NovusTheory/ytmdesktop/releases/tag/v2.0.3

only thing I've been able to find regarding the github 404 is someone said that the repo was shut down due to a dev's github account getting hacked, amd that they're working on getting their access back, so hopefully the repo will be back in the near future.

Just noticed that, I haven't found anything related to the deletion yet... no idea what's happening.

the upstream project seems to be deleted from github.

Package updated to 2.0.1 which contains all the fixes we needed.

I don't know if you've already tried stuff, but the following patch works on my machine, apart from https://github.com/ytmdesktop/ytmdesktop/issues/1247;
