--> ALWAYS DO A CLEAN BUILD <--

This package will verify the signature of the git tag. Developer keys are available here and instructions are here. See the PKGBUILD to determine which developer key you need.

Upstream does not support building natively for ARM64, only cross-compiling. You can use mullvad-vpn-beta-bin instead.

PSA: This package will be now called mullvad-vpn-beta-bin as soon as the merge request is accepted

Apologies for not updating sooner.

Will use.

Thanks

@telans: I've completely rewritten the PKGBUILD & install files. I simplified it immensely, please utilize it: mullvad-vpn-beta

Would you mind adding me as a Co-Maintainer?

@Karrq: You're right, the symlink should be to mullvad-gui:

ln -s "/opt/${_pkgname}/$mullvad-gui" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/${_pkgname}"

mullvad commands works and opens the command line, while mullvad-vpn doesn't work and complains that it can't find mullvad-gui in /usr/bin

With v2019.9, a new symlink needs to be added to match upstream:

    ln -s "/opt/${_pkgname}/resources/$mullvad-problem-report" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/mullvad-problem-report"

Yeah, I didn't have time to test it yesterday. It turns out pacman can't backup a file that's not in the package. Also the install file will remove /etc/mullvad-vpn/ before backup is called, so both can't be done.

Since the config file is preserved anyway, there's actually no point in using the backup function at all. Backup is only useful for packages that provide a default config file that would be removed upon uninstall.

I edited my post below and removed the unnecessary stuff. Sorry about the confusion.

Cheers. I added backup(), however no matter how I format it, I can never actually get settings.json to be backed up upon removal. Not sure where I'm going wrong, might just be an issue on my end.

For now I've left that commented out in .install

No need to use mkdir when you can use install -D:

    # /usr/bin/ Contents
    install -Dm755 "${srcdir}/usr/bin/mullvad" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/mullvad"
    ln -s "/opt/${_pkgname}/${_pkgname}" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/${_pkgname}"

I suggest adding an install file:

install="$_pkgname.install"

post_install() {
    systemctl enable --now mullvad-daemon
}

pre_upgrade() {
    systemctl stop mullvad-daemon

    rm -f /var/cache/mullvad-vpn/relays.json
}

post_upgrade() {
    systemctl daemon-reload
    systemctl start mullvad-daemon
}

pre_remove() {
    systemctl stop mullvad-daemon
    systemctl disable mullvad-daemon
}

post_remove() {
    # remove logs & cache
    rm -rf /var/log/mullvad-vpn/
    rm -rf /var/cache/mullvad-vpn/
}
