Termux-packages: Package request: keybase

[justinkelly]

Hi Termux - would be awesome if keybase could be packaged for termux

I believe there used to be some issues between the termux version of go and the one keybase needs

• not sure if that is still an issue

@sdrausty can i install arch in termux on an sd card in chromeOS?

[SDRausty]

@justinkelly not in Android 5 or 6 afaik. It might be possible in 7 and beyond. Do you have execute and symlink permissions on the external card? It's a no go if you do not have these permissions.

[tomty89]

I think it's a matter of whether you format and use the sdcard as internal storage (where the real internal storage will no longer be used or accessible AFAIK). It is an Android 6 feature.

[SDRausty]

External SD card on Android 6 when it is formated as internal is mounted on /storage/emulated noexec.

[tomty89]

Hmm. What about /data? Wouldn't the SD card be used for that? Coz I heard that the real internal storage would not be used anymore.

[tomty89]

/storage/emulated would probably never be mounted without noexec and/or allow symlinks, since they want the behavior to be consistent with the FAT fs family?

[SDRausty]

When it's external in Android 6 it's rwxrwxrwx. As internal it's rw-rw-rw-. No exec; No symlink on both.

This needs to merge to get the git stuff working: https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/pull/2811

Hi, I'm from the Keybase team. About a month ago we moved the KBFS repo to the client repo at https://github.com/keybase/client/tree/master/go/kbfs, so the code in https://github.com/keybase/kbfs/ is out of date and likely will stop working/fail to build in the future. Please update your build scripts. The latest version is 3.0.0. Sorry about the confusion.

@heronhaye it would probably be best to open a new issue and probably @ mention @philips since he did the initial work.
