This PKGBUILD uses a pacman feature to compute checksums in CVS packages, which requires pacman>=6.1.0. If you're coming from Manjaro or an other Arch-based distro with pacman<6.1.0, you need to pass --skipchecksums to makepkg, if building manually, or, if installing with yay, add --mflags --skipchecksums, e.g.:

yay -S --mflags --skipchecksums zapzap

Hi @alllexx88, I try this program over x11 last time and worked fine, but now over wayland when I run the program does not start and when

$ zapzap

Some hint? I used two GPU, one intel and other Nvidia.

Edited: I see is an open issue https://github.com/rafatosta/zapzap/issues/215

@phill.hardstaff thanks for the report, fixed.

Hi, thanks for this package, it's one of the better WhatsApp apps out there.

As of today (as I used this yesterday OK) the upstream URL is a 404 (for me anyways). I was able to build by downloading PKGBUILD and changing Github URL to https://github.com/rafatosta/zapzap then makepkg --skipchecksums. After that it installed and worked just fine.

@43615 As always with python major upgrade, all python packages have to be rebuilt. A simple package rebuild helps, but I also just bumped pkgrel to force AUR helpers do this.

Doesn't start after updating Python, no idea what to do:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/zapzap", line 5, in <module>
    from zapzap.__main__ import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zapzap'

@vvch Thank you for the feedback. I didn't know Manjaro still had pacman 6.0.2. I'll add instructions for people coming from Manjaro or other Arch-based distros with pacman<6.1.0.

@alllexx88 Thank you for your investigation. I use Manjaro which still has pacman 6.0.2

https://software.manjaro.org/package/pacman

Just upgrade your system, and it should work fine.

As I said before, I have already managed to workaround my problem, but seems like there will be many people who also encounter it since pacman 6.1.0 is a bleeding edge released on March 2024.

@MajorMayer You can ommit the validitation check running makepkg --skipchecksums -si , but keep in mind that doing this implies a security risk, so isn't a recommended practice unless you fully trust the package.
