To be clear from the start: using a package while never asking a question in the AUR comments or on GitHub Issues, never offering any fix, and not even reading the notes on GitHub — then going straight to filing an orphan/out-of-date request — shows neither competence nor basic decency. The maintainer is not your support desk, and a free package is not a product you paid for. You are in no position to decide on everyone's behalf that a package should be orphaned.
About "no update for 3 weeks": nothing was abandoned here. Since v0.11.0, upstream replaced the bundled standalone Node runtime with Electron-as-Node; the source comment says it plainly: "The Desktop no longer ships a standalone Node. The Electron binary that runs Node work … always with ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1." On Linux, the Electron binary dynamically links the global glib and leaks its symbols into the process space, which collides with the libvips bundled by sharp and makes sharp segfault (upstream bug: electron/electron#46323, still unfixed). That is the whole reason the update was held back, and it is documented in the GitHub Issues. As you wished, the package has now been updated — at the cost of stability. If you want a stable install, use the previous version, 0.10.0. Next time, read the README and the Issues first, and ask in the comments or an issue before filing. If you cannot do those three things, do not make decisions for other people. And if you have any self-respect left, go to /requests and close PRQ#88449 yourself. Package maintainers: the package is actively maintained and was updated today (0.12.1-7, 2026-10-27 07:28 UTC), so please reject this request. Thanks.
