@h3poteto Thanks, looking better. Painful to do isn't it? Electron's ugly dark side.
h3poteto commented on 2021-10-08 14:26 (UTC)
@alerque I changed to use the system Electron.
alerque commented on 2021-10-06 11:43 (UTC)
Please note the same complaint below is still relevant a couple versions later, this is building and installing an entire vendored copy of Electron itself, not just the app and using Arch's system Electron packages.

I see, I understand it. But please wait for the next release of Whalebird. I will change it until the next version.

Thanks for the move to a source build. Please have a look at how
whalebird-desktopwas doing this though because there is one more major step to go here. You're currently building from source but you end up installing a complete extra (vendored) copy of Electron. The Arch Electron package guidelines call for this to be eliminated and depend on (and use) the system copy of Electron instead.h3poteto commented on 2021-09-05 16:46 (UTC)
OK, I rewrite this to build from source code.

Addendum: I'll put off the merger a few days if you'd like you can repost this as -bin, then file a merge request for this package into the new name to retain the comments / votes.
Also note that this package should not provide
whalebird(it is whalebird) but the -bin variant when you set that up should provide & conflict whalebird.alerque commented on 2021-09-04 16:44 (UTC)
What @lmartinez-mirror says here is correct, this package is miss-named. What is posted at
whalebird-desktopshould be posted here (hence I'm going to approve the merge request of that package into this one. However they are not the same thing at all and what is currently posted here should be reposted as awhalebird-binpackage, then the content of this one replaced with the source build. This is more than a suggestion, the AUR guidelines require that packages be named -bin if there is the possibility of a source package (personally I would like to see that for all bin packages, but the current guidelines only require it for source-available projects).lmartinez-mirror commented on 2021-09-04 15:55 (UTC)
Hi, this package should build from source since it doesn't have a "-bin" suffix.
(full disclosure, i maintain whalebird-desktop, which builds from source and uses the system electron instead of pulling its own)

@homk Hi, I'm a developer of Whalebird. This package is official package of Whalebird, so this package always follows the latest release of Whalebird.
I don't know about whalebird-desktop.
