How to update

To prospective maintainers: Updating this package is more than just bumping the pkgver. Ideally we should build this package under a similar environment as the official release binaries. There are a few things you should check, from the src:

• The nodejs version to use
  • You can find this information from .github/workflows/release.yml
  • Alternatively check .travis.yml
  • Once you have the nodejs version, update the _nodeversion in PKGBUILD
• The electron version to use
  • Check package.json of bitwarden/desktop src. Look for "electron" in devDependencies. For example, if it's "electron": "11.1.1", then you should use electron11 if possible.
  • Check if community repo has this version of electron.
    • If community has the version, great, just use it and be done.
    • If community does not have the version, figure something else out :P maybe point to an AUR electron-bin, or just build it against electron and see if it works. (it's a pain and the package may break any time when community updates electron)
    • Update both PKGBUILD and bitwarden.sh to use the correct electron version.
• Check if desktop package.json needs more patching
  • Figure out if the package.json.patch still works
• Find the _jslibcommit
  • Look at the commit of the jscommit submodule, in the desktop repo, at the version tag.
  • Copy this commit hash into _jslibcommit field in PKGBUILD.
• Update the pkgver, pkgrel, sha512sums, etc, the usual, in PKGBUILD.
