@SamWhited
tnx, it works for me

For anyone else running into the "No such file or directory" while building, it's because the build directory doesn't exist and the files are failing to copy over properly. Creating it once should fix the problem. The following patch to the makefile seems to work:

I updated the package and used sed to replace /usr/sbin/bitmask-root with /usr/bin/bitmask-root in the policy and the code. Built it and it didn't ask me to enter a password.

Should be fixed. Please retry and create an issue. /usr/sbin should be linked do /usr/bin so writing to /usr/bin should be fine

if the bitmask-root cannot be placed in /usr/sbin/ then the policy file needs to be patched in the arch package to adjust the path to bitmask-root

if it is placed in /usr/bin/ then something like the following during prepare() should be sufficient:

 sed '21 s/sbin/bin/' pkg/pickle/helpers/se.leap.bitmask.policy

Oops, not sure why I didn't get it; I've dropped you an email too, hopefully it works this time. Thanks!

@SamWhited I wrote you an email and asekd for more debug information a few days ago in general: please create an issue (https://0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn/-/issues) or write me an email: peanut2@systemli.org.

I'm not getting the sbin issue that the previous person mentioned, but I'm still getting an error when preparing the package:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Should be fixed. Please retry and create an issue. /usr/sbin should be linked do /usr/bin so writing to /usr/bin should be fine

Ok guys update:

I cloned the git then changed sbin to bin in the PKGBUILD file then cd to riseup-up-git the make package gave no errors at all during build or the install so I think all the maintainer has to do is change sbin to bin in his PKGBUILD file. For now if anyone wants to install this just do this.

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/riseup-vpn-git.git $ cd riseup-vpn-git $ makepkg -si before you cd into the riseup-vpn-directory change the sbin at the bottom of the file with your favorite editor in teminal or non terminal editor and change sbin to bin in the path. Have a good night everyone.

Ok guys I get file error after the build. It comes when it actually tries to install the package. It comes right after the check for conflicting files. It has to to with sbin. here my final output at the end after the build proccess.
