@FryDay: Hi, I've adopted the package a couple of weeks ago and I've got the update almost ready, just need to test if everything works. I'll hopefully get around to that this weekend. Sorry for the delay :)

Check https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS-Configurator/releases for the latest version and edit the pkversion and 'SKIP' the checksum for the latest release, seems like a little much outdated

It doesn't need electron, but it has some of the same dependencies because it's an electron app.

What you actually should add are gtk3 and nss. I would also remove the empty variables.

@lod @k1f0 I addressed both of your issues

@moldtmann (from build log) you should build in a clean chroot https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

and k1f0 is right about the symlink

@moldtmann I just tried fresh installing the package, and in my case there is no symlink being made.

@lod I didn't find any external dependencies needed for this package, but this might be because I happened to have them already installed. If some specific additional dependencies were needed on your machine, I will add them to the PKGBUILD.

Is there a reason why you didn't add the dependencies in the PKGBUILD file?

I can't reproduce this on my machine. In my case a symlink in /usr/bin/expresslrs-configurator is made which points to /opt/ExpressLRS Configurator/expresslrs-configurator
