truth129 [1] filed an orphan request for devin-desktop [2]: Requesting orphan. The package has been flagged out-of-date since 2026-07-22 (21 days) with a response from the maintainer (said preparing update) but nothing was updated, whose last commit was 2026-07-19. The AUR is on 3.4.27-2 while upstream has shipped 3.7.16.
Beyond being behind, the published package has a user-facing bug: the .desktop files still point at /usr/share/devin-desktop/devin-desktop, which prepare() strips out because we build against system electron. Launching from the app menu or the URL handler fails with "Could not find the program". Only launching from a terminal works. I posted the one-line fix in the comments. I've been maintaining an updated PKGBUILD locally and have 3.7.16 building and running cleanly against electron42, with the desktop- entry fix and the ripgrep path change upstream made in 3.7.16 (@vscode/ripgrep to @vscode/ripgrep-universal, plus a per-platform subdir). If I take it over, I intend to: - Track releases via the upstream update API and rebuild-test each one before pushing, rather than bumping pkgver blind. Upstream relocates vendored binaries between releases, which is what broke 3.6.22, so the symlinks in prepare() need a real build to verify. - Verify each .deb against the sha256 upstream publishes. - Keep .SRCINFO regenerated with every metadata change. - Add the missing package-sources LICENSE (0BSD) per the submission guidelines. - Watch the comments and respond to build reports. No objection if the current maintainer would rather stay on and take a co-maintainer instead. I offered that in the comments and had no reply. Happy to withdraw this if they resurface.
