Alternative installation instruction: AUR

[gunar]

With alva-git in place, installing Alva into Arch/Manjaro systems is now just a matter of executing yaourt -Syy alva-git.

• .SRCINFO needs to regenerated: makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO
• git tags should be a typo
• mac build gives me some troubles, i'd prefer to simply call node_modules/.bin/electron-builder -l dir directly which skips unnecessary targets

Unfortunately it fails with the message npm required.

@rsteube thanks!

1. .SRCINFO updated, thanks!
2. Nice catch
3. Agreed, implemented

[rsteube]

missed one tags at https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=alva-git#n29 and the dir parameter for electron-builder (this one is not necessary, but skips Appimage and Snap)

builds and installs on my machine with tags fixed

[gunar]

@rsteube done! I'm still getting this error though, do you think it's safe to just ignore it?

[rsteube]

yes, that should be fixed with #641 - the dependencies are currently declared as devDependencies and thus missing at runtime. i also had the electron drag&drop bug before and had to start it with --disable-gpu, but last time i started it i didn't need it

[rsteube]

ok, --disable-gpu is still necessary for me (might as well add that to the script until the bug is fixed) @marionebl i can confirm it installs successfully on my machine

[marionebl]

@gunar: We'd like to co-maintain the alva-git AUR and mirror it here on GitHub. You might also be interested in alva-appimage :)

Would you be interested in making me a co-maintainer and get admin permissions on the GitHub mirror in return?

[gunar]

@marionebl sure! what's your AUR username?

[marionebl]

@gunar I am https://aur.archlinux.org/account/marionebl

[gunar]

Woohoo!

[marionebl]

I added you as collaborator to https://github.com/meetalva/aur-alva-git @gunar. We'll have a look at setting up TravisCI to check the build script and push changes to AUR.

Closing in favor of #166
