Oh nice, this probably make this package obsolete.

The main reason for this package was that building zed from source was a bit much for an old laptop.

I've moved the old zed package in the AUR out of the way (to zq) and migrated zed-editor to [extra]/zed. I've also renamed zed-editor-preview to zed-preview and zed-editor-git to zed-git. Why ya'll think you need an upstream binary build is beyond me but this should be renamed to zed-preview-bin.

I updated the update script to directly parse github releases, the website does not seem to be up to date for linux builds.

Yes indeed, there's a name conflict with zfsutils ZFS Event Daemon (zed).

I am waiting for upstream discussion before manually renaming the executable.

I forgot to add the SHA sum again, I skip it while testing. You do not have to add permissions, copy folder content will do the job for you. Try my PKGBUILD and you will get the same result.

@ZorinArch Thanks for the suggestion, I included the options.

Though I don't understand why skipping sha sums could be an improvement, as well as not using install to set permission on executable. Could you provide some insight?

Hi paradoxxxzero,

This is an enhancement PKGBUILD you can use it.
