Switching back to the system electron because of reported issues with the packaged electron. Also, fixed pkgver issue.

Build options by setting environment variables (or editing pkgbuild):

  • _system_electron=false – Use the packaged electron
  • _electron_version=29 – Use a specific system electron version (when default version has problems)
    • Or edit /usr/bin/beeper after install.
  • _install_path=usr/lib – Use a different install path. Default is opt. (Do not include leading / and trailing /beeper.)

This is a self-updating package. It always downloads the latest available AppImage and applies the correct version number.

Please wait until over a month has passed since the last update before requesting version bumps.

@xiota: sounds like a good plan to me!

@blaxpot: exactly, I've asked them if they can consider version specific files but no luck so far :(

@xiota: The downloading etc seems an automated part of the pkgbuild/makepkg setup. I don't know how to tweak it to check the filename upfront. Do you?

AFAICT Beeper doesn't provide a way to download a specific version of their AppImage (or publish a checksum or sign it either)... So that explains what's going on I guess.

I've been using this package for months without noticing this problem FWIW. Thanks for keeping on top of updating it so well!

heh it would help if I could read properly... apparently I'm getting a newer version there...

I'm getting errors re: a failed validity check when updating this package.

I get a different checksum than what's in the PKGBUILD when I download the source file:

# sha256sum beeper-3.66.24.AppImage
e3c5518e119520a76632c7a96e64e287c2dbe2f25e088029e84d427c3d3a4f1f  beeper-3.66.24.AppImage
