Hey! I would advise using the fork of caprine

This is one is less prone to errors, like the images showing blank and other issues.

Thanks for reaching out but this package is meant to track the upstream project which is still maintained. People are welcome to contribute to the upstream and as long as it’s possible (at the moment it is) upstream should be maintained. If at some point in the future upstream stops being maintained, I’ll be happy to switch to a fork that is being maintained. Also, anyone is free to make a copr package for the fork.

As for the issues with upstream, patches are merged as fast as possible but resources are very limited as it was discussed already in several issues on GitHub. Help with that is always welcome and I would encourage anyone willing to help out to start reviewing patches once they come in.

Thanks again for reaching out! Cheers!

Is there any chance the files in /usr/lib/.build-id can be excluded from the package? I don’t think they’re necessary for it to run and I always get conflicts with other electron apps when I try to upgrade such as the following

Error: Transaction test error:
