please, do not blindly mark this package out-of-date, thanks =)

current native_messenger version is tracked using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/<put current stable version of tridactyl here>/native/current_native_version.

at the time of writing this message tridactyl is at version 1.23.0, so native_messaging's version is:

❯ curl -sL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/1.23.0/native/current_native_version'
0.3.6

... 0.3.6 even if there is new 0.3.7 version on GitHub Releases page.

thank you =)

@t-8ch, @alerque, thanks. now this package builds from sources using nimble. also created new firefox-tridactyl-native-bin package to provide binary version

As you suggested, I tried it with version 0.3.6 but it did not work. Therefore I used the latest release (0.4.0 at the time of writing) and it worked with that.

@liljaylj Ah, sorry for bothering you by my lack of understanding. That makes sense. But, why there is a gap between upstream native_messenger release date and current_native_version file version update? Is it something like internal compatibility?

Thank you for maintaining this package!

This doesn't seem to currently build, it fails with the following error:

could not import: SSL_get_peer_certificate

From some quick searching, it looks like this might be because some nim packages don't support OpenSSL 3.0?

Edit: Adding openssl-1.1 to makedepends makes it build, and it seems to work in "runtime" as well (tested a command, :nativeopen works). Perhaps someone more familiar with the native messaging can do a more thorough test.

@vandalt, fixed, thanks

Hi, thanks for maintaining this! I ran into an issue when updating. There was an error message saying that cd had too many arguments (sorry, after updating I can't reproduce the exact error message). Updating build() and package() to include _nativever instead of a wildcard in the path seems to fix the issue:

build() {
    cd "$srcdir"/native_messenger-"$_nativever"/
    sed -i -e "s-REPLACE_ME_WITH_SED-/usr/lib/tridactyl/native_main-" ./tridactyl.json
    nimble build -d:release -d:danger --opt:speed -Y
    chmod +x ./native_main
}

package() {
    cd "$srcdir"/native_messenger-"$_nativever"/
    install -D -m755 -t "$pkgdir/usr/lib/tridactyl" "./native_main"
    install -D -m644 -t "$pkgdir/usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts" "./tridactyl.json"
}

Thanks for getting this updated to build from source. Just FYI when I get back home in a few weeks this is on my list to consider migrating to [community]. For now it will be available in my user repository for anybody interested in the advantages of a prebuilt package while sticking to the source builds.

In chroot environment, build() fails due to missing git. Please add it to makedepends?

@liljaylj, you are welcome. Thanks for taking care of this package!

@t-8ch, thanks a lot for detailed explanation.

• removed glibc from depends (checked the dependencies of base package =))
• removed conflicts/provides (after reading wiki again, now i see)
• for now, added only x86_64 arch. if someone can test if it builds on i686 and/or arm, let me know
