Arch Linux User Repository

I avoided using their versioning because it is not guaranteed to be increasing if there are multiple releases in the same day.

The version update script is for maintenance and is intentionally not part of the package sources. It is not run during the build script, it's just used by me to easily update the pkgver. Happy to exclude it entirely from the git repo if that would be preferred. Not against simplification but your script won't work well for me as is.

Also, agree on using node from the repo, just haven't had a chance to dig through their binary to figure out what would be needed. If you've checked and a symlink or something would suffice, that's awesome and I'll add it.

that update script is hilariously over engineered. It makes auditing harder. 2 months ago there was news of malware on the AUR, it's not totally impossible. I trimmed it down, renamed the upstream version to _pkgver and used pkgver="${_pkgver//-/.}" in the PKGBUILD

also, almost all of upstream is the node executable. I would suggest refactoring to use node from the repo

the proposed script

install="$(curl -fsSL "https://cursor.com/install")"

version="$(echo "${install}" | grep -Eo 'downloads\.cursor\.com/lab/([0-9]{4}\.[0-9]{2}\.[0-9]{2}-[A-Za-z0-9]+)' | head -n1 | sed -E 's@.*lab/([^/]+).*@\1@')"

# Fallback
if [ -z "${version}" ]; then
echo "fallback!!!"
version="$(echo "${install}" | grep -Eo 'versions/([0-9]{4}\.[0-9]{2}\.[0-9]{2}-[A-Za-z0-9]+)' | head -n1 | sed -E 's@versions/@@')"
fi

echo "${version}"
sed -i -E "s/^_pkgver=.*/_pkgver='${version}'/" "PKGBUILD"
