This package follows the Linux enabled fork releases here. Please do not flag it as OOD when the upstream Windows/OSX only Microsoft project updates but when the Linux enabled builds are available from @shiftkey. Thank you.

I'm sorry for the delay getting this updated. I've actually tried bumping it a couple times, but there have been errors with all of the recent upstream releases and I haven't had time to sort them out. I just had a daughter born a few days ago and haven't had any time to hack on this. Patches welcome (here in comments via git format-patch or as PRs on this GitHub repo.

I had the same issue described here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/github-desktop-bin#comment-853517. It can't login with github using the browser. It keeps loading forever.

Also I can confirm 2.9.6 works.

@nursoda It doesn't build with 17.x, upstream doesn't support it.

Note this is only a build time dependency so you don't have to have it on your system to run. Just use makechrootpkg to build this in a chroot (while of course supplying a built version of the AUR gconf dependency) then install it on your system with your preferred nodejs version as usual. If you can't be bothered to build it that way you can always install the one I build from my user repository. That one should install with pacman without needing to mess with anything.

@alerque: Since I prefer to have the latest nodejs for other tools I use and nodejs-lts-gallium conflicts with nodejs, what actually prevents using 17.x?

JustinSB commented on 2022-01-10 10:23 (UTC)

@hsantanna Thank you - Yes, downgrading my installed version of nodejs (17) to nodejs-lts-gallium (16) completely solved the issue & github-desktop then installed without issue.

Thanks to both of you! @alerque @hsantanna

Arraymancer commented on 2021-12-16 19:27 (UTC)

if you get the error:

detect-arm64-translation: Command failed.

just downgrade to nodejs-lts-gallium (16.X)

@alerque, @santilococo and @JustinSB Downgrading the installed nodejs (17) to nodejs-lts-gallium (16) solved the issue.

It seems to be a known issue with nodejs: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2534

hsantanna commented on 2021-12-16 17:50 (UTC)

@alerque I couldn't build it in a clean chroot via makechrootpkg, got the same problem.
