Hi everyone. I want to add to my ports the balena-etcher application, well I added via deb package, but I want to build it froms source, for that I'm following the AUR package for guide. The problem is that I'm running in a lot of error, building as root or as normal user with fakeroot. Anyone can guide me if it's possible to build the package from source or is better to stick with the .deb package? Thanks to all.

It's possible, but packages using npm/electron can be a PITA, in my experience. BTW, there is a tarball with the built etcher in the releases, why not just repackage that? Could be easier, imho. I use the appimage, couldn't be bothered to package it :) Pedja

Yeah! pointless without the Pkgfile abd log :P But I think to stick with the version I have... No more paintless :)

You find any issue with not flashing with normal user? There's some issues with that and I have to run the program as root to flash any image, maybe with the appimage there's no problem. Thanks!

Etcher requires polkit authentication agent for flashing as a regular user. At least it's how it works here with appimage: - Choose ISO - Choose USB - Dialog pops up, asking for password - Off it goes, flashing the image. I use polkit-gnome with Xfce. HTH Pedja
So I have to try the appimage the .deb package seems to have that problem of not detecting polkit, there's an issue on the github page with people having the same problem... Thanks! On Tue, Jun 04, 2019 at 10:48:17PM +0200, Predrag Ivanović wrote:

So tried the appimage and the problem persist, the extrange thing is polkit and agent is working perfectly for all the others programs. Waiting to see if they can solve the issue on the repo. Thanks. On Tue, Jun 04, 2019 at 10:48:17PM +0200, Predrag Ivanović wrote:
