Looks like nixnote2 is already on the AUR and properly built from source, both stable and -git. A binary package ripped from an AppImage is probably the last thing you should be proposing...
I am the packager of the -git package and will likely disown the pinned package.
Could you justify your assertion?
It seems I will need to go with the whole appimage... Upstream won't change the linkage to a versioned library filename.
The fundamental purpose of AppImage is to offer standalone software that does not integrate with the package manager, in return for not depending on the package manager. What is the point of packaging one into a pacman package? If people wanted appimages they would download them and run them as intended... not by extracting the contents and incompletely copying them to /usr Programs which build using private libraries belong in /opt either way, definitively not in /usr/lib. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
