QuollWriter .deb installed with debtap after a bit of tweaking, what else?

[Dadrake]

Here are the steps I followed to install QuollWriter:

The v3 is only available on the official site, AUR is an old version v2.
The developer provides only a .deb package.

I’m still new to Arch and Garuda (not much admin and dev, it’s been a long time for Linux). PKGBUILD documentation didn’t help about what to do exactly, so I decided to try with debtap

1. Download the QuollWriter .deb package (tmp dir)
2. deptap install with Oktopi
3. run the “debtab -p” on the .deb file
4. install the newly brewed package “pacman -U” on the .zst
5. I see pacman run but no program installed: an early error says there’s a typo in the .INSTALL (generated?)
6. Inside the .zst, correction of the .INSTALL, just adding ‘echo "’ before a line meant to provide the first line content for a .desktop file.
7. Run again the “pacman -U” on the .zst
8. No error, just a warning about information not found for pkgbuildinstallations1
9. Result: no desktop shortcut, QuollWriter not yet in PATH, but if manually started (it’s in /opt/… ) then it works!

So, I’ll use it to evaluate this software for a while and check the stability.

Now, I’d like your inputs about how I could have done it better or if there is some pitfall I need to be careful about (with my current setup).

Thanks!
