Manjaro and Arch repository with privacy oriented software

@TheBackburner sorry about that, I cleaned up some older files on the server and seem to have removed the new signal package instead of the old one. Should be fixed now.

I guess this is the right place to ask such questions, btw

@pineitup  

protonmail-bridge-nogui from the AUR seems to build fine (using --ignorepkg when building, or by adding aarch64 to the arch-array in the PKGBUILD).

The build process for the gui-version of protonmail-bridge is horrible, though (qtdeploy, which is used, seems to ignore quite a few pathes and seems to rely on some semi-hardcoded pathes to tools). Didn't manage to work around this yet, so you might have to rely on the nogui-version for the time being.

Thanks! So I managed to install the nogui version, and other than odd warnings it appears to be working at least with receiving emails. The warnings are:
in the proton cli as output for check i (which is supposed to check the internet connection):

Code:

>>> check i
Connection security error: Your network connection to Proton services may
be insecure.

Description:
ProtonMail Bridge was not able to establish a secure connection to Proton
servers due to a TLS certificate error. This means your connection may
potentially be insecure and susceptible to monitoring by third parties.

Recommendation:
* If you trust your network operator, you can continue to use ProtonMail
  as usual.
* If you don't trust your network operator, reconnect to ProtonMail over a VPN
  (such as ProtonVPN) which encrypts your Internet connection, or use
  a different network to access ProtonMail.

while thunderbird complained about something with the certificates and seld signing of certificates. Does it ring a bell or is my whole setup compromised? And btw - it appears that the cli program has to run at all times if I want to send/receive emails? I thought I need to run the cli just fo set things up, but the emails don't go through when it's not running. Isn't it a bit crazy to have to run the proton vpn cli and the protonmail bridge cli every time I turn on my machine?

I also tried installing electronmail - the proton mail+contacts+calendar client, but it fails because of some gconf dependency that can't be satisfied:

Code:

[USER electronmail-bin]$ makepkg -si

Thanks for your help!
