Arch Linux User Repository

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

--> ALWAYS DO A CLEAN BUILD <--

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

Please do not create upstream issues about the AUR package, they do not support it.

That's strange, build for me was successful. Are you sure that patch is applied successfully? Try it with makepkg if you are using any AUR helper

Still the same error after patch, will use bin version for the time

@Bitals Can you try this?

It tries to publish my build on Github lol.

My guess would be it detects CI environment and does this. Usually this is configurable with an ENV var, but I gave up on navigating Mullvad Github Actions, so I have no idea what it is here, sorry.

@patlefort There is no npm in makedepends because nvm provides both node and npm

https://github.com/gulpjs/vinyl-fs/issues/350 https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/52707

@yochananmarqos Can you use the LTS node for the build?

nvm install "${_nodeversion}"

Installs the latest one, cuz _nodeversion is not defined anywhere. Also, you're not calling nvm use, not a big deal - nvm will use the latest installed version of node, but I'm sure it's better to do this explicitly.

@patlefort @JackStorm Can you try with this patch?

I see npm makedepends was removed, but it it still required. Also, I get the same error as JackStorm.

I believe there might be a memory leak while building from source. It consistently crashes around step 475/476 out of the 480 steps despite having 16GB of ram and using this machine full time for development. My pc completely locks up until my terminal crashes. I have tried fully uninstalling this package and reinstalling it (which separately solved the permission issues related to removing the Go cache).

Alright, doesn't build on Manjaro currently, because Manjaro repositories are still on rust 1.76 and the mullvad build process tries to build several things that require 1.77.

1.77 is included in Manjaro Testing Update from May 2nd, so it should be buildable soon.
