Desktop (Tauri) / Tauri desktop (Linux) (push) Successful in 3m41s
Native packages the installer can actually fetch, before task 2014 wires up the fetching. Arch (task 2022, re-scoped): the source PKGBUILD is gone — asking every user to install rust+node and compile for minutes isn't distribution. Replaced by desktop/packaging/arch/package-prebuilt.sh, which wraps the binary the Linux job already built into a .pkg.tar.zst. No second Rust build, no Arch CI image: the binary bundles nothing and resolves webkit/gtk/soup by soname, identical on both distros, with SQLite compiled in and glibc used in the safe built-old/run-new direction. CI is Debian and has no pacman, so the step logs .PKGINFO plus the full file listing for audit instead of pretending to verify. Debian (task 2074): install.sh hands the .deb to every Debian/Ubuntu user and nothing had ever inspected it. tauri.conf.json now declares libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 + libgtk-3-0 explicitly rather than trusting inference — and deliberately declares no appindicator or sqlite dep, since tauri is built with features=[] and rusqlite is "bundled". desktop/packaging/deb/verify.sh prints the generated control file, cross-checks it against what the ELF actually needs via dpkg-shlibdeps, confirms every declared dep exists in apt, and clean-container installs when a docker CLI is available. Both artifacts join the run artifact and the tagged release; install.sh grows a pacman branch so Arch/CachyOS gets a native install instead of the AppImage fallback. Still no release cut (rule 2).

# ThoughtSync desktop — Arch package
|
|
|
|
A **prebuilt** native pacman package (`.pkg.tar.zst`), published as an asset on
|
|
every ThoughtSync release. Nothing to compile, no toolchain to install.
|
|
|
|
Installing natively on Arch matters for more than tidiness: pacman pulls
|
|
`webkit2gtk-4.1` itself and the app runs against your system's graphics stack,
|
|
which is what keeps the bundled-library `EGL_BAD_PARAMETER` black window
|
|
(issue 2021) from coming back. It also means the app is package-manager tracked
|
|
and uninstalls cleanly.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Easiest — the one-command installer picks this package automatically on any
|
|
pacman system:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -fsSL https://git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/thoughtsync/raw/branch/main/desktop/packaging/install.sh | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or grab the `.pkg.tar.zst` from the
|
|
[latest release](https://git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/thoughtsync/releases/latest)
|
|
and install it directly:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo pacman -U thoughtsync-desktop-*-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Either way you get:
|
|
|
|
- `/usr/bin/thoughtsync` — the app
|
|
- `/usr/share/applications/thoughtsync.desktop` — the menu entry
|
|
- `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/thoughtsync.png` — themed icons
|
|
|
|
Launch **ThoughtSync** from your app menu, or run `thoughtsync`.
|
|
|
|
Uninstall: `sudo pacman -R thoughtsync-desktop`.
|
|
|
|
## How the package is built
|
|
|
|
`package-prebuilt.sh` runs in CI (`.forgejo/workflows/desktop.yml`) and wraps the
|
|
binary the Linux build already produced into a pacman package — it does not
|
|
compile anything a second time.
|
|
|
|
Packaging a Debian-compiled binary for Arch is safe here because the binary
|
|
bundles nothing: it resolves `libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0`, `libgtk-3.so.0` and
|
|
`libsoup-3.0.so.0` by SONAME at runtime and those are identical on both distros,
|
|
SQLite is compiled in (`rusqlite` "bundled"), and glibc's forward compatibility
|
|
means building on Debian's older glibc and running on Arch's newer one is the
|
|
safe direction.
|
|
|
|
CI is Debian and has no `pacman`, so it cannot install-test the result. The build
|
|
step instead logs the package's `.PKGINFO` and complete file listing, so the
|
|
package is auditable from the run log; a real `pacman -U` is the final proof.
|
|
|
|
## Previously
|
|
|
|
This directory used to hold a source-build `PKGBUILD` requiring `makepkg -si`
|
|
with `rust` + `nodejs` + `npm` installed. It was removed once prebuilt packages
|
|
shipped — asking every user to install a compiler toolchain isn't distribution.
