Arch Linux User Repository

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

This is working well. I tested a few other clients and it seems to be the best option (whatsie is very similar but uses more ram). If you need the absolute minimum, nchat is a command line option, very light, but no image support.

I have too the audio message playback problem, tried downgrading pyqt6, as found in some forum, but it didn't work

Audio message playback has been broken in this version for a while, probably a broken dependency. Use the Flatpak version for now.

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

Hi, Zapzap uses a lot of CPU (only to be executed). This is my configuration

Any suggestions?

Thx

@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'
