Tested 6.2.0-1. Sharing works for me, but it still crashes after stopping. The workaround for me is still downgrading pipewire and libpipewire to 1.0.7 before meetings.

@edh - That's not the answer I was hoping for (I was really hoping we could get it to launch without xwayland), but at least I know I'm not missing something.

Some ~/.config/zoomus.conf updates:

  • SSO Login: I don't have qt5-webengine installed, and the ebeddedBrowserForSSOLogin line doesn't exist in my config zoomus.conf. SSO login works just fine (issues with Firefox containers aside).
  • Audio: I am using Pipewire via pipewire-pulse. system.audio.type defaulted to alsa for me (or I changed it without realizing it). I probably could have installed pipewire-alsa and fixed my issues, but I set system.autio.type=pulse (a lucky guess) and this worked. This should work for anyone using straight PulseAudio as well.

If anyone finds documentation on ~/.config/zoomus.conf, please let us know.

I contacted the zoom support on 13th July 2016 and tried to lure them into creating a proper PKGBUILD respectively adopting this one, considering they are providing a package over very none standard ways to the Arch Linux community (downloading via a *foreign* site) and not through the official repo or the AUR. However there was little to no progress so far.

@daniel_shub thanks for the tip (¨.a¨)!

@edh first, thanks for maintaining the package. I maintain the rememberthemilk package and they pull the same crap of updating the binary without changing the version number. I want to say that I think your approach was almost spot on and what I am going to do in the future. Bumping the pkgrel for a change in the upstream binary is not what pkgrel is designed for while updating the pkgver to trigger a new download and rebuild is the way to go. Had you set pkgver to be 5.7.6.a instead of 5.7.6a, then vercmp would detect the change and everything would be fine. Of course no one should expect a maintainer to nail all the nuances of vercmp and the package build process every time. Again, thanks for maintaining this package.

@bulletmark

Sorry, I forgot about the vercmp specifics here. I indeed intended to make the new version large than the one before. However, since the checksum was in a sense outdated, users who did not adapt the PKGBUILD could not upgrade anyways and those who did, do not need upgrade now.

No, this is simply not what pkgrel is for. Upstream updating the binary package is not the same as a mere rebuild with different configuration flags or changes to the PKGBUILD. See @aditya comment on the definition of pkgrel.

The reason why I was reluctant to change the pkgrel is because it does not force users to re-download the binary file. Of course I could have included pkgrel in the target filename but this did not seem proper to me.

Adding that 'a' doesn't trigger an update. Upstream has published a new binary so I would say an update is required, i.e. the pkgrel should be updated.

edh commented on 2021-08-23 19:01 (UTC)

@aditya

The PKGBUILD really did not change, i.e. it is not a consecutive build. It is zoom that pushed a new binary package to the same URL.

Shouldn't the pkgrel have been bumped instead of adding the "a"?

The release number. This is usually a positive integer number that allows to differentiate between consecutive builds of the same version of a package. As fixes and additional features are added to the PKGBUILD that influence the resulting package, the pkgrel should be incremented by 1. When a new version of the software is released, this value must be reset to 1. In exceptional cases other formats can be found in use, such as major.minor.

The checksum of the last release (5.7.6-1) is different than the one specified on the PKGBUILD, maybe they changed the file without releasing a new version?

The sha512 for the file at the moment is 7c34f2f1951a22391ced31960fedba4f1058abf55f1e530b1069bc9b2946f54cd3a12713135ab7ea0ae57131e2ce30521315ce4a67673f7f024cd23f6e03c4be

Edit: I just saw the last comments, just ignore this one

@sarovin Zoom changed the package without changing the URL. I'll update the package soon.
