@m040601 I've also adopted ffsend (timvisee inactive since 2023) and updated it to 0.2.77 with the same improvements. Both packages are now in sync under the same maintainer. Looked into aarch64 but some old upstream deps break with modern Rust, needs fixing upstream first. Cheers!

@bbj

Perfect ! Thanks !

Unfortunately, he (timvsee) doesnt have or ship a "CHANGELOG.md" file. Very usefull to keep up with things. If and when that day comes, put it also next to the README.md.

Also dont forget to now and then, check out and coordinate with, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ffsend, and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ffsend-git . To make sure all 3 PKGBUILDs are consistent. The best thing would be if all 3 were maintained by the same person.

I dont know whats up with him, timvisee, seems he vanished

@m040601 Done in 0.2.77-2. README.md now installed to /usr/share/doc/ffsend/README.md. Thanks for the suggestion!

@bbj

Thank you for adopting and taking care of the PKGBUILD

Please also pull the "README.md" from gitlab, so that it lands in

/usr/share/doc/ffsend/README.md

13         "ffsend-v$pkgver.XXXX::https://gitlab.com/timvisee/ffsend/XXX

37     install -Dm644 "README.md-v$pkgver" "$pkgdir/usr/share/doc/ffsend/README.md"

Thanks in advance.

This PKGBUILD has been out of date for 10 months. Abandoned ?

Also confusing, the development seems happen on gitlab but there are no "releases" there:

$ glab release list -R https://github.com/timvisee/ffsend

   ERROR
  404 Not Found.

The "mirror" at github has releases. This PKGBUILD "ffsend-bin" uses them:

$ gh release list -R https://github.com/timvisee/ffsend

TITLE           TYPE    TAG NAME  PUBLISHED
ffsend v0.2.77  Latest  v0.2.77   about 10 months ago
ffsend v0.2.76          v0.2.76   about 3 years ago
ffsend v0.2.75          v0.2.75   about 3 years ago

@timvisee

Just a big thank you for all the work done with "send" and "ffsend".

Here in the AUR, maintaining the PKGBUILD's and on Gitlab developing the tools.

I got remembered about "Send" and "FFsend" when using Libredirect, https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect. (Tip, "Libredirect is also extremely interesting and importan for Firefox users)

Ffsend is very very usefull and underrated, especially for command line lovers. Pitty it's not better known. Here, and outside Archlinux. Hope this gets more votes. And can make it to Archlinux official packages one day.

Especially usefull "ffsend-bin" precompiled. For the ones who dont want the hassle of having to compile Rust themselves.

PS: https://gitlab.com/timvisee/send,

Only 64-bit (x86_64) ...binaries are provided.
For other architectures and configurations you may compile from source.

Hope one day you could also release automated binary builds for ARM in gitlab. I know it might not be easy configuring Gitlab CI for Rust in non x64 architectures.

But then we could also have "ffsend-bin" here for 

arch=('x86_64') ... aarch64 ... armv7h ... etc

My little underpowered Raspberry Pi's and Chromebook running Archlinux Arm would love it ... :-)

@petrmanek Interesting. Is gitlab.com reachable for you? The URL in your snippet successfully links to the fish completion file for me.

@goll This should be fixed now.
