Hi TrancheDePain, Would you be able to Debug this further with me on the OpenDeck Discord? As far as I can tell it seems to be a problem with your Setup which I can't reproduce. You can find the Link to the Discord on the Github Page of OpenDeck.

Trying to download this, as well as the opendeck-git package, leaves me with an error regarding missing tauri files :

As well as a permission issues when going into .cache/opendeck/

warning: could not open directory 'pkg/': Permission denied

Tried to chmod the dir, but it is empty anyway.

Edit: I see it now, you have libappindicator-gtk3 set as a make dependency when it should just be a regular dependency. Users like myself remove build dependencies after the package has been built so that when I go to install an update later on with my AUR helper I'm asked to clean build both the make deps as well as the apps themselves, ensuring my packages and their tools for building are always using the latest versions.

Please move your run dependencies such as libappindicator-gtk3 to a depends=() array so that they won't be removed after the build is complete.

It needs to depend on webkit2gtk-4.1, not webkit2gtk, otherwise this error occurs:

Hi, An Update for Everyone. I habe taken Over the Project and will push an update today. The last few days I made no Update since there was the Update to Version 2.4.0 in the Pipeline. Have a great Weekend.

Hello, I appreciate all of your efforts bringing this app to the AUR but it might be time to consider letting someone else take over the release cycle management for the main opendeck package.

I'm willing to take over it's management to allow for a different set of eyes to keep track of the latest problems and to provide timely release updates.

It'd be appropriate for you to maintain the -git version to stay in line with upstream's ongoing development cycle that include their beta versions and we can coordinate breaking changes and they hit the -git version. I'll in turn stick with only the major non-beta releases and I'll generally lag back a few days while you test on the -git.

If willing please add me as a co-maintainer. Thanks!

The app is failing to build because upstream's tauri.conf.json was built using version 1.6 standards but the Arch version is now 2.0+ which isn't compatible with opendeck.

To work around this you need to install tauri-cli-1.6.2 "by hand". The best way I know how to do this is to download it from the AUR's commit page and downloading a snap shot:

$ wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/aur-db2c7cb8f786cf3a5e6836f68c9eaed5952cb610.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf aur-db2c7cb8f786cf3a5e6836f68c9eaed5952cb610.tar.gz
$ cd aur-db2c7cb8f786cf3a5e6836f68c9eaed5952cb610/
$ makepkg -s

Mind you any time you use a tool like yay to update your AUR packages it'll want to update tauri-cli which I think breaks opendeck so how you handle that going forward is on you until upstream corrects this. I'll be opening a bug report to help get things moving on correcting this.

I seem to be getting the same error on a brand new install - pity I really wanted to try this as I've been using Bitfocus Companion and StreamController:

Initialize @esbuild/linux-x64@0.21.5
warning: Packages contained npm lifecycle scripts (preinstall/install/postinstall) that were not executed.
    This may cause the packages to not work correctly. To run them, use the `--allow-scripts` flag with `deno cache`
    (e.g. `deno cache --allow-scripts=pkg1,pkg2 <entrypoint>`):
      npm:@sveltejs/kit@2.5.26, npm:esbuild@0.21.5, npm:svelte-preprocess@5.1.4

    Error `tauri.conf.json` error: Additional properties are not allowed ('package', 'tauri' were unexpected)

currently seems like on some systems manual building with makepkg is required to get around the problem

Looks like opendeck has moved to tauri 2.0 which is in beta. There is a tauri-cli-prerelease AUR package. From 5 minutes of trying I wasn't able to get the opendeck package building, I bet someone with some more rust/cargo/aur experience could get it done pretty quickly
