Arch Linux User Repository

Suggestion: In the PKGBUILD, change the dependency on protobuf to libprotobuf-lite.so (and add protobuf to makedepends then), so a versioned dependency will be generated at build time automatically and out of date errors due to updated libraries are maybe easier to spot (automatically?):

64gram-desktop: error while loading shared libraries: libprotobuf-lite.so.31.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Regards!

After https://github.com/TDesktop-x64/tdesktop/commit/bbdcb047d0f321647ca90204f238ef4b35cbb9b5 new patch is needed.

We might need a patch similar to the lzma patch for lz4

After https://github.com/TDesktop-x64/tdesktop/commit/3d481113688041b85523628a06a6863f7e21ed64, block-sponsored-messages.patch is broken. Here is a new version of this patch I've tested locally - please consider changing it here (note that line endings should be dos-style). Thanks!

@dr460nf1r3 Thank you, it should build fine now.

Several findings for building this package:

1. python-packaging missing in makedeps
2. libxdamage also had to be added
3. Build failure due to improper line endings in some files could be fixed by adding find "${srcdir}"/ -type f -exec dos2unix {} \; to prepare step and makedeps

@xiota Ok, I will add it for the next release.

@alesar1 It is a direct depend.

1. This package is directly broken when the depend is updated, which has happened recently.
2. Figuring out which packages need to be rebuilt is more difficult when frequently updated libraries are not listed in depends.
3. Arch package guidelines state, "List all direct library dependencies." – I'm asking only for a library that has been demonstrated to be problematic.
