I ran yay -Syu and everything went well but electron25 has taken over 10 hours to update. Is there anything I could have done to speed things up?

Solution: I checked AUR and other people were commenting about similar issues. I swapped out the package for the -bin version.

    I had that same problem, I ended up choosing to skip the update to get around it for the time being. Not sure what’s going on but it was downloading an enormous folder related to chromium.

      Thanks for commenting. I checked AUR for electron25, I probably should have done that before posting, and found the following comments

      An update from 25.9.8-4 to 29.5.8-5 is attempting to clone about 40 GB to my disk. Is this normal?

      I also had this issue @lillemets. Although I removed electron25 because it didn’t seem like it was required by another package. yay -Qi electron25 It doesn’t seem normal :/

      This package builds from source, so I’d say yes, this is normal. In the meantime I recommend using electron25-bin instead.

      I guess installing electron25-bin is an option.
