ATTN: The hard dependency on gnome-keyring has finally been relaxed. I have not tested this thoroughly; your mileage may vary.

For whom it may concern: this package depends on Shiftkey's linux support fork, located at https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/

I check this regularly for releases. If you want the newest version, I suggest you check out github-desktop-git and modify the PKGBUILD to use the base repository, with the understanding that the application takes a significant amount of RAM to build.

The gconf dependency is no longer needed and now has trouble compiling with the latest release.

@mlerota I have the same slow commit experience you mention. I did find that if I click the "Fetch Origin" button during this waiting I can get the commit to finish instantly.

Anyone having problems with slow commit? Version 2.5.3 works OK, but after that when you click "commit" it takes 45-120 seconds to finish.

I built this package with the gconf dependency removed from the PKGBUILD and it runs just fine. It is included in the upstream Debian package, but the author appears to be unsure whether it is actually needed:

https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/blob/linux/script/package-debian.ts

The upstream RPM does not have the gconf dependency either.

If any of you are having trouble compiling gconf, run this:

sudo pacman -S gtk-doc gobject-introspection gnome-common

Is it possible to install this in armhf or arm64 (Raspberry Pi)?

As Elanzer pointed out the PKGBUILD needs to be updated because the binary is one directory deeper. I guess this is the problematic line: printf "#!/bin/sh\n\n/opt/${_pkgname}/github-desktop \"\$@\"\n" | install -Dm755 /dev/stdin "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/${_pkgname}" Where the actual binary location is /opt/github-desktop/github-desktop/github-desktop The other way around is to manually replace the symlink to said bianry.

I had to update /usr/bin/github-desktop script to /opt/github-desktop/github-desktop/github-desktop "$@", because it was pointing to the directory.

Is gnome-keyring actually needed? Because GitHub Desktop just starts even if I enter a wrong keyring password.
