I can confirm that this package works on aarch64 with a change to the pkgbuild. Obviously this change will break "normal" x86/x64 if applied like this, but I'm not familiar enough with making a pkgbuild to branch on the architecture (and trust it to work). In your next update I'd love it if I didn't have to patch the pkgbuild locally. I understand if you are hesitant to claim it's compatible with aarch64 without the ability to test yourself and want to leave it as incompatible.

@lai: that is an issue localized to your machine, not a problem with the package or zulip-desktop. Suggestion: remove and rebuild.

Built version has stop to work. Launched from terminal, it complains about vaapi_wrapper.cc.

I have just built the package with python instead of python2, and without nvm (i.e. by using nodejs 18.3.0-1) without issue, so that would be a nice dependency trimming. It appears to function correctly, too.

@Fingel: Thanks for the patch

The zulip-desktop.desktop doesn't specify the correct StartupWMClass which causes some issues with Gnome shell and possibly other modern DEs: If you pin the application the actual running instance will always show as a separate window with the wrong icon. To fix just add:

StartupWMClass=Zulip

to zulip-desktop.desktop

@Phoosier : It's still listed as a dependency in the build docs, and appears to be utilized by some of the node modules. If you have other insights, happy to look at removing it.

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think the python2 dependency is necessary (any more).
