The Woes of an Arch Linux User

As an Arch Linux User you get used to pokerth breaking every 4th or 5th time you do a system update. Today I can't even rebuild it from the AUR. I so wish it was in the core repos. I'm running pokerth in a VM using debian at the moment until I can find a solution. I love Arch but I hate the AUR.
Anyone else out there with these problems?

You might tryout the flatpak build - it's more update safe:
https://flathub.org/apps/net.pokerth.PokerTH
there also exists a snap build:

Thanks sp0ck, yes I've tried the flatpak build but essentially I need something that can be started from the terminal like thus -
QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.6 pokerth
so that I can get the window which the game runs in to a comfortable size.
Not sure about snaps but my favourite linux content creators tell me to stay away from them! Saying that I assume it will be the same problem.
I shall pursue the AUR maintainer in good time, somebody called blacktav and see if I can get a fix there.

Do that - it's propably a newer protobuf or libboost version after an Arch Update. The client source code needs to be patched a liitle - like the maintainer of the AUR package did here before:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ ... ?h=pokerth
about the flatpak:
check this -
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... k-applicat
.... you can also use flatseal for that:

Btw. ... I just saw in the comments of the AUR site that the AUR maintainer already seems to be on it/planning it:

Lastest boost (1.87.0) breaks build due to deprecation removals Need to hold/downgrade boost & boost-libs to 1.86.0 (release 49 pins boost to this version)
Specifically io_service has been deprecated (in src/db/serverdbfactory.h and elsewhere) and possibly other removals; can anyone assist please?
Here we go again.

My woes grow deeper. Arch Linux Users are unable to play pokerth at this time.

Why not using the flatpak option? It's to be built latest stable branch code on 1st install. It does even work with QT_SCALE_FACTOR,
I really do insist to the usage of flathub (or snap release) as current qt5 binary won't be continued and current binary dependencies getting older and older.
