There's a closed pull request on the void-packages repository

[WIP] New packages: proton-bridge-1.2.7 and dependency
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/22559

Description:
I'm trying to package [proton-bridge](https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge), but I'm running into some issues with the build process. Here's the relevant output from xbps-src:
```
make: qtdeploy: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:66: cmd/Desktop-Bridge/deploy/linux/proton-bridge-1.2.7-live.1] Error 127
=> ERROR: proton-bridge-1.2.7_1: do_build: '${make_cmd} CC="$CC" CXX="$CXX" LD="$LD" AR="$AR" RANLIB="$RANLIB" CPP="$CPP" AS="$AS" OBJDUMP="$OBJDUMP" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS" ${makejobs} ${make_build_args} ${make_build_target}' exited with 2
=> ERROR:   in do_build() at common/build-style/gnu-makefile.sh:9
```
I know that xlint throws up errors on this template as well, I thought I should fix those after solving the build errors. Any other suggestions for improvement are welcome as well!

As for `qtdeploy`, the best I can figure is that it's a tool provided by [this repository](https://github.com/therecipe/qt). Unfortunately, the repo has no releases, so the bindings and tools it provides can't be packaged. ericonr on IRC said that it might be possible to build without `qtdeploy`, but I haven't understood the Makefile well enough yet to figure out how to do that.

It should be noted that hydroxide isn't a 100% solution. It can be a bit flaky and doesn't support attachments (at time of writing).

Comment:
I'm deciding to close this (for now) for three reasons:

1. I realized that the function of this package can be easily replicated by setting up [hydroxide](https://github.com/emersion/hydroxide) as a per-user service.
2. We already have [a restricted version of this package that provides the same program](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/protonmail-bridge/template).
3. This thing's build process is still a nightmare, and judging by the new releases that isn't changing anytime soon.

I'll still be keeping tabs on new releases, and if the build process improves I'll make another attempt at packaging.
