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/

@alex.forencich and anyone else, if you can build the application, please tell me how so I can update the PKGBUILD, there is no updates on this issue yet

Looks like the upstream version is 3.3.2, this package is seriously out of date.

Hi @HD_hirku ,

First of all, the purpose of the Arch User Repository (AUR) is to organize and share new packages from the community and to help expedite popular packages' inclusion into the community repository. (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository)

Secondly, the license of Proton Mail Bridge is GPLv3 , which is strong copyleft and demands human-readable source codes for the distribution of the software. Hence the -bin version of this software doesn't mean it's close-sourced.

Last but not least, instead of what-the-hecking a free ride in the comment section, you can always try to update the package by editing the PKGBUILD locally. Utilize a backup method like rsnapshot or timeshift, and then you are ready to make your operating system a playground. It's pretty fun. You can find info about PKGBUILD here, but you might need to make some tweaks here and there according to this github issue.

@ali.molaei can you please figure out what the heck is taking so long? Using a bin package defeats the purpose of AUR. WE NEED OPEN SOURCE BUILD!

I've never seen ProtonMail devs so slow to fix a breakage. This package is REALLY out of date! Please help!

There are some build issues right now, I'll update the package as soon as I can build it, for now, the -bin package is updated

@HD_hirku version 3 was in pre-release phase for a long time, I'm working on PKGBUILD now, thanks for reminding

HD_hirku commented on 2023-02-24 18:53 (UTC)

What's the hold up? Why isn't this package being updated?

I'm getting version Qt_5.15 not found even though qt is at version 5.15.8

The problem seems to be that Protonmail is flagging 2.3.0-1 as out of date (via the app -- at least on my machine -- https://postimg.cc/ZWqXV3MC), despite: (1) GitHub stating that it is the latest version (https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge); and (2) the ProtonMail Bridge download for Linux providing 2.3.0-1 (https://proton.me/mail/bridge#download).

Not much can be done from the AUR package maintainer's perspective. It is officially up to date -- though the app reports otherwise.
