typora-bin: add version 1.14.9
Binary repack of upstream's official Linux x86_64 tarball; Typora is
closed source, so this is not a build from source.
Uses the versioned tarball on downloads.typora.io rather than the
version-agnostic Typora-linux-x64.tar.gz, which serves whatever build is
current and would go md5-stale on every upstream release.
Launch through a wrapper instead of a symlink to the binary: it enables
Electron's Ozone Wayland backend when a Wayland session is detected and
leaves the X11 default alone otherwise, so one package works in both.
Override with TYPORA_OZONE=wayland|x11.
Upstream's bundled updater is dropped; it would overwrite the tree in
/opt behind pkgtool's back.

It supports tables, math, diagrams, footnotes, +outlines and export to PDF, HTML, docx and more. + +This is a binary repack of upstream's official Linux x86_64 tarball, +not a build from source (Typora is closed source). The Electron +runtime is bundled, so this package pulls in no SBo dependencies. + +Typora is proprietary paid software. It ships as a time-limited free +trial and needs a purchased license key for continued use. Packaging +the tarball does not grant a license; see the homepage for terms. + +The app is installed under /opt/Typora-linux-x64 and launched through +the /usr/bin/typora wrapper, which enables Electron's Ozone Wayland +backend when it detects a Wayland session and otherwise leaves the +default X11 path alone. Force either backend by setting +TYPORA_OZONE=wayland or TYPORA_OZONE=x11. + +Upstream's bundled auto-updater is removed: it would overwrite the +tree in /opt behind pkgtool's back. Update by rebuilding this package +instead. + +Export to PDF works out of the box. For docx, epub, LaTeX and other +pandoc formats, install pandoc (available on SBo). + +Upstream's bundled Chromium license file is not duplicated into +/usr/doc; it ships in place as +/opt/Typora-linux-x64/LICENSES.chromium.html. |
