Arch Linux User Repository

As of 2024-09-16, this package is being co-maintained by official vesktop developers, and any packaging decisions they make will not be questioned on my part unless it's something harmful for the users, which is very unlikely to happen. As I see it coming, they will not use the system's electron on this package purposely, if you don't like it, use vesktop-electron, which is also maintained by the same devs.

Thanks!

It fails with the same error because electron folder at vesktop/src/Vesktop-1.5.1/dist/linux-unpacked/electron is missing

Does it build with makepkg -s? Because that works here.

Hi, I'm getting this build error:

I think I had the same error around a month ago and havent tried installing since then. I tried removing paru cache without success.

/home/eugene/.cache/paru/clone/vesktop/src/Vesktop-1.5.1/dist/linux-unpacked/electron indeed does not exist. there is only linux-unpacked/resources.

Is this an issue with vencord or package or maybe my system?

Would recommend adding an optional dependency for https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arrpc, which it uses for rich presence.

@jogai, this package is vesktop, not vencord.

https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord is the actual source because on the org github (https://github.com/Vencord) it says "Click here for Vencord, it is not in the organization", which links to the aforementioned repo.

Thank you.

This should be okay now.

Everything you need to run Vesktop will be in the app.asar file. If you don't trust me, or the arch packaging guidelines for electron apps, just try it yourself. Delete everything aside from the app.asar file, run it with electron, and check that you will have the locales for other languages. I just did and I have everything from danish and swedish to spanish and english, as well as every other feature working as expected.

I just checked the app.asar contents and I saw this https://paste.rs/lKcGF, didn't see the locales and the other info there.
