OpenDeck on Arch Linux
Hey Happy new Year,
I saw that you provide a RPM and a DEP Package for OpenDeck.
What are the Possible install methods for Arch Linux?
In one Github Ise there has been stated that an appImage Version will be made. I didn't found it.

I don't have any experience with Arch
what package format does it use, aside from AppImage?
I will look into making an AppImage but my focus is currently on the rewrite
It doesn't directly have a package format.
But I think .pkg.tar.something
i see
i will make an appimage, but also keep in mind that the rewrite will be available this month at the latest
.pkg.tar.zst
Thanks. Also looking forward to the rewrite.
just looked into it - Electron Forge doesn't actually support making AppImages without a third-party maker and I don't think that's really worth it for a piece of software that's about to be replaced - I can walk you through building it as a zip of the binary on your own system if you like
I will look into it in the next few days. Right now its really late at my place. (About half past 4 a.m.)
I will go to bed now. I will inform you If i need help (a walk through).
Thanks so far.
I'm also on arch and I just unpacked the package, moved the binary to
/usr/local/bin/ and added the udev rules. Once the rewrite is done, I will set up an AUR package for it.that may not be necessary since I will be publishing it to Flatpak
although I suppose some people might prefer the AUR
Hi,
I'm not directly a Fan of Flatpak if I can install it via another Way.
It would be nice to have OpenDeck in the AUR.

i can make an AUR package for it
if tbmatuka doesn’t, feel free
he’s mentioned he will, however
im already maintaining a few AUR packages, so shouldnt really be any trouble
go for it, I can test it if you need
I haven't made any packages in a while, so it would take me a bit to go through the documentation again
PKGBUILD is almost done
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opendeck-git @tbmatuka i can add you as co-maintainer if you want
