I had some issues building 1.7.27 but succeeded after adding the following to the prepare section

For anyone adopting this package: I did something very similar in my private fork and can confirm this works, so I'd suggest patching this until it's fixed upstream instead of setting nodejs<16.

I have moved on from manjaro to NixOS, so I'm disowning this package again. Thank you for the recent comments.

I had some issues building 1.7.27 but succeeded after adding the following to the prepare section:

   cd ../element-desktop
   # Switch target to output to directory rather than .deb package
   sed -i 's/"target": "deb"/"target": "dir"/g' package.json
   sed -i 's@"https://packages.riot.im/desktop/update/"@null@g' element.io/release/config.json
+  sed -i '/seshat/s/"2.2.3"/"2.2.4"/' package.json
+  sed -i '/electron-builder/s/"22.10.5"/"22.11.4"/g' package.json
   yarn install

see upstream reports:

As some npm dependencies are not yet compatible with NodeJS 16 you might wanna set the nodejs dependency to

nodejs<16

I have adopted this package and it will now follow the upstream 'develop' branch. With recent changes it's now based on electron version 12 with native Wayland compatibility. Start with the following flags to test it:

element-desktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

Unfortunately, I have to withdraw from the maintenance of this package for private reasons. Feel free to adopt.

You don't have to update it every time there is a new commit, makepkg will automatically get the latest commit and create a package for that commit, this is actually less work than what you are doing now.

You should read all of the VCS package guidelines and this note about the difference between -git and normal packages

@SeerLite

Maybe you should consider changing it so it does either way.

If this is the case I would have to disown the package because, like many of us, I do the whole thing in my spare time and therefore cannot provide every single commit as an update.
