Something seems to be wrong with the download link generated during prepare(). I downloads a webpage that says the URL is malformed.

I think creating the value for _ident is not working

I tried to extract the flatpak bundle and successfully made the pkg.

Due to the upstream developers discontinuing "Generic Linux" packages, I am disowning this package maintenance. I invite any interested party to take over and adapt it for unpacking and preparing Arch packages from .deb files. As an alternative, the upstream team now offers a Flatpak package for installation.

@tzok

I see. May i ask if you correspond with the UCSF team about this at all or just pull their releases to host here? Somehow I'm sure they'll provide a generic one if asked.

I've never hosted an AUR package but if you do decide to ditch this, i'd be willing to take over.

@rtviii: version 1.8 is still a release candidate only.

By the way, from what I can see, they are no longer providing "Generic Linux" .tar.gz files but flatpak ones. This means that this PKGBUILD will require a significant rewrite. Let's wait for 1.8, but if they truly stop providing.tar.gz, I will probably have to disown the package.
