Please report issues related to the build process or dependencies here in the comments.

• Do not flag out of date for build or packaging issues.
• Please do flag out of date if e.g. the current upstream branch which is kept up to date is switched (back) from lite to master or sc.

Regards!

Thanks for the hints with regards to the .desktop file – I've changed it like you have proposed :)

I haven't added the change to the .sh yet, though, as I cannot reproduce searching in encrypted rooms not working with the package the way it is right now (as in: with a build from a few days ago, searching encrypted rooms works as it should for me – in larger, explicitly-encryption-only-enabled-rooms, as well as in smaller, direct-message-style chats). Can you confirm that it does not work for you with a reasonably freshly build schildichat without it added?

(I don't see no harm in adding the change, as it's just a relatively specific preload – but I'd like to avoid adding things that might just "be there because!!11" in cargo-culty-ways, even if their usefulness might be long gone ;)

And please edit the .desktop file like following:

• StartupWMClass was not matching and thus the icon could show up twice, while opening it via one did make another appear

• Our usual string as the comment would be preferable

• Our name is "SchildiChat" (upper case "C")

[Desktop Entry]
Name=SchildiChat
Comment=A Matrix Client based on Element with a more traditional instant messaging experience
Exec=/usr/bin/schildichat-desktop %U
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=schildichat-desktop
StartupWMClass=schildichat
Categories=Network;InstantMessaging;Chat;VideoConference;IRCClient
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/element;

And thanks for creating the git package btw!

Adding this will make search in encrypted rooms work (just noticed this is missing for the git package): https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/03e9706f20625c667b4b5fd1ca0c63241b39f0b7

Hm, I can't really reproduce that on my end; looks like a transient network issue thingy? It's especially odd, though, as it should try getting a different electron version anyway with the most recent PKGBUILD, so maybe there's some additional caching issue somewhere?

Re the previous question: that's a tough one, as the electron-builder is a finicky beast – I'm not even sure if it would be possible to get it to use dependencies that are downloaded earlier / if there's a good way to fetch them earlier, as it seems it does some last-minute-version-calculating-stuff sometimes. Might have to look into it a bit deeper, can't promise anything ;)

Download fails for me in build() with HTTP error 401 "unauthorized":

Ahoj,

I noticed another thing: While it already downloads much of the node/npm/... dependencies in prepare(), it also downloads stuff in build().

Can you modify the PKGBUILD souch that all downloading is finished before build() begins? That would be nice (makepkg -e can then be run offline after having done a makepkg -so before), and would make things more clean (all downloading in two instead of three spaces).

The yarn run runs do download stuff, as I also see with my network usage, and then, later:

Can you add =${pkgver} to the schildichat-desktop entry in the provides array?

Thanks for maintaining!
