@FirstAirBender: This does indeed build from the release tag. This package uses submodules, see VCS package guidelines: Git submodules. Your PKGBUILD does not change anything, the submodules are part of the project and are still downloaded.

Ok so this package is actually building from git directly, in which case I ask why is it not suffixed with -git?

This was the source of my confusion. I thought this was just building the tag, so it was confusing to me why it was downloading sources almost every day.

Please either suffix your package with -git, or just build an actual tag.

I have used this PKGBUILD to successfully build the latest tag:

pkgname=appimagelauncher
pkgver=2.2.0
pkgrel=3
_pkgref="0f91801"
pkgdesc="A Helper application for running and integrating AppImages."
arch=('x86_64' 'i686')

noextract=("$pkgname.tar.xz")
source=("$pkgname.tar.xz::$url/releases/download/v$pkgver/$pkgname-$_pkgref.source.tar.xz"
        'appimage-binfmt-remove.hook')

prepare() {
    mkdir --parents "$pkgname" 
    bsdtar --strip-components=1 --cd="$pkgname" -xf "$pkgname.tar.xz"
}

build() {
    mkdir --parents "$srcdir/../build"
    cd "$srcdir/../build"
    cmake -G Ninja "$srcdir/$pkgname" \
        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$(pacconf ROOTDIR)usr/" \
        -DUSE_CCACHE=ON \
        -DUSE_SYSTEM_LIBAPPIMAGE=ON \
        -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \
        -Wno-dev

    # See https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/issues/251 for more details why this is required
    ninja libappimageupdate libappimageupdate-qt
    cmake . \
        -DUSE_CCACHE=ON \
        -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF

    # Make needs to be run again after to finish compile
    ninja
}

package() {
    cd "$srcdir/$pkgname"
    DESTDIR="$pkgdir" ninja -C "$srcdir/../build"  install

    install -Dm644 LICENSE.txt "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE"
    install -Dm644 "$srcdir"/*.hook --target "$pkgdir/usr/share/libalpm/hooks"
}

It uses ninja, so the build should be fast

@FirstAirBender: Excuse me, but take another look. ;)

Excuse me, but why is googletest a dependency of this package? Can we please get rid of this dependency, or atleast make it part of makedeps?

Thanks

2.1.4 is out

Worked OK for me... I see it got flagged as out of date, is there a more up to date version?

@yochananmarqos thanks, that worked :)

@kuba-gaj: Use my up to date PKGBUILD for now.

For some time now I'm getting this error:

Cloning into 'squashfuse-EXTERNAL'...
ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Any ideas?

Thanks! Got it downloaded today.
