Arch Linux User Repository

If you are seeing errors related to linking issues, like:

error while loading shared libraries: some-library.so.#: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Try to just rebuild the package :)

NOTICE: This pkgbase is now produces two packages:

• protonmail-bridge-core: Containing the core daemon & CLI program.
• protonmail-bridge: Containing the Qt desktop application.

The second package depends on the first. If you don't have a need for the desktop application, you can now choose to only install protonmail-bridge-core.

This packaging change should be seamless and no action should be required before or after the upgrade.

Thanks to @ali.molaei and @BenTheTechGuy for the feedback regarding this change!

Just having pass installed with a key set up wasn't enough for me, I had to follow this: https://pychao.com/2020/06/10/update-on-using-protonmail-bridge-on-headless-wordpress-linux-servers/

I told them it was written in Go, but they didn't believe me.

regarding to https://protonmail.com/blog/bridge-open-source/ the bridge is now open source available here: https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge

@blackpoll this package was not being updated, so I created -bin package, after that this repo became orphan and I adopted it, right now, there is no difference between this package and the -bin package

I emailed the official ProtonMail bridge team and gave access to both repos to them. once bridge become open-source, -bin will be downloading the bridge and packaging it from binary and this repo will build it from source

I don't understand which to install between this and the -bin version? Why are there two versions and what are the use cases for each one?

I emailed the ProtonMail team to see if I can use this repo for building from source and keep the -bin package for binary download, waiting for their answer

@mprom thanks for letting me know, I think the arch linux convention is that packages that are not building from source and just coping a binary should have a -bin at the end of them, but this repo have move votes and users using it, so, I don't know what to do with these packages and keep which one, maybe I keep both for a while and then remove one of them

@ali.molaei This package is now orphaned. Can you perhaps adopt it?

Hey there, I emailed Lenovsky a week ago about this package and I didn't hear from him/her until now, I created the protonmail-bridge-bin package that is up to date and you can use it now I also didn't use the Protonmail's official PKGBUILD because it had not copied proper icons for the application, as this package does. and the rest is the same work in both

@zakkak you are right, I haven't noticed. Thank you. So if the Proton Developers write PKGBUILD, maybe they can maintain an aur package?

@maciex it's from Protonmail themselves. There is a prompt in 1.2.3 that links to various ways to upgrade, with one being the PKGBUILD they wrote. I personally just edited the pkgver and the sha256sum in the AUR PKGBUILD to the new one in the mean time using the info from the link.
