For anyone who want's to contribute a PR, this is the repo: https://github.com/Gunther-Schulz/aur-cursor-bin-updater

Submitting duplicated cursor-* pkgs by people would not stopped until upstream fix $ARGV0 issue or stop distributing AppImage. Unfortunately, upstream seems negative to fix it.

@oech3, it's extremely unrealistic for a highly profitable company to suddenly undercut itself and make this open source. They don't own their own LLMs, so the only thing they can sell is their app.

I don't like renaming this cursor. Upstream may distribute source code in the future... +1 for

wait for the latest stable release to catch up with the unstable release.

@oech3, regarding your proposal to add cursor-stable: the assumption for an Arch package is that it builds from a stable source, unless noted otherwise. This means that instead of having cursor and cursor-stable, we should have cursor and cursor-unstable (or some other prefix, like beta). This wouldn't require adding epoch=1 if we simply wait for the latest stable release to catch up with the unstable release. That said, I don't see why using an epoch would be a problem at all. Also, while not critical, the correct name for this package is cursor, not cursor-bin, so if the maintainer ever decides to rename and merge it, they can start with the new page following the stable track without needing an epoch. Previously, the request to merge cursor-bin into cursor was rejected because the former was of lower quality. Now that it's gone, it might be worth reconsidering that change.

Please consider extracting this as cursor-electron. Other packages are no longer avaiable. https://github.com/Gunther-Schulz/aur-cursor-bin-updater/pull/14

@FabioLolix Should I adjust the PR to add _EULA? I edited https://github.com/Gunther-Schulz/aur-cursor-bin-updater/pull/10 to remove post_install.

Hi,

• please use ${pkgver} in source=() instead of 1.0.1

license=('custom:Proprietary')  # Replace with the correct license if known

license=(LicenseRef-Cursor_EULA), license need to be installed in "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/LICENSE", see also https://github.com/Gunther-Schulz/aur-cursor-bin-updater/pull/6/files

post_install() {
    update-desktop-database -q
    xdg-icon-resource forceupdate
}

Not needed since already done by pacman hooks, if pre/post install/remove are needed they belong into a .install file not inside the pkgbuild

was able to build the latest version using paru -Sccc followed by paru -Syyu cursor-bin

For anyone who has problem with the hash check, you need to clean-build all packages when running yay. I am assuming two releases with the same version number but different hashes where released and yay will try to use the cached appimage. WHen you choose clean build it will download the current package.

I suspect this happens because currently we package the bleeding edge version. I will switch to the stable version soon to avoid these kind of issues in the future. If there is interest I can add a another PKGBUILD for the bleeding edge version as well.

Doesn't update anymore since 1.0.1-2 due to AppImage hash check failure
