3 years ago Hi! First of all, thanks for your work on the client apps. I use them frequently and they are quite nice. I think they would be a great addition to the Pop repos.
There is one bug I've found though (looks like the one described here). I'd be a little concerned about our customers encountering that bug and adding to the volume of tickets our support team has to handle.
Do you know when a fix for that bug is expected?

3 years ago Hey @leviport , thanks for your reply. Yes it is known, as this issue will occur mainly if one turns off the machine while being connected the VPN. Also I understand your concern and it is perfectly valid. We'll prioritize this in the following weeks, and once it's fixed and pushed to our stable branch, I'll ping here.
I've got a question though, how does this work ? Do you just add our stable repo to the curated repo list ?

3 years ago Sorry for the slow response. I believe we generally prefer to pull in source packages and add them to our repos rather than add third-party sources, but our engineers can evaluate what makes the most sense when we get closer to adding these packages.

3 years ago It is possible to clone a repository, but it's better if we can build it from sources in our CI. Which would entail cloning the git repository, and our CI will build it if it contains a working debian directory that can build with sbuild.

3 years ago @leviport and @mmstick thanks for the replies. We already have a fix for the bug above and should be deployed on beta this week. So in 1-2 weeks we should be able to proceed on some more definitive solution on how to add the ProtonVPN client in your repo.
We could go with the best approach for you, it doesn't matter for us. Either git cloning from github (then you would have to subscribe to our releases) or copy and add our repo.
I'm actually maintaining myself AUR packages here, so git cloning would be 100% ok.

2 years ago Hey @mmstick and @leviport, so good news. The fixes have been pushed last week to beta. I've recently tested them myself on both PopOS versions (20.04 and 21.04) and both worked well upon reboot/shutdown. I've first installed the stable one (which does not contain the fix) and then upgraded to beta and did the exact test.

2 years ago We'll look into having it in our repository soon
Hey all 👋
I'm one of the developers of the ProtonVPN client, for Linux.
I was wondering if there is a way for us to be added to the official popOS repositories. We do have our own repos but we'd like to provide a more native approach to our users. All our code is GPLv3. The ProtonVPN clients consist of the following packages:
protonvpn: meta-package that installs both the GUI and CLI protonvon-gui: installs the gui (https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-app) protonvpn-cli: installs the CLI (https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-cli) python3-protonvpn-nm-lib: the library that interacts with network manager (https://github.com/ProtonVPN/protonvpn-nm-lib) python-proton-client: the library that interacts with our API (https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-python-client)
Please let me know if you require anymore additional information.
