I recently updated the PKGBUILD to work again, it is currently hosted at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/daggerfall-unity-bin

This was done in order to bring the package naming in line with the Arch guidelines. I have filed a merge request for the packages, but the process requires manual approval of the AUR trusted users team, so it is not instantaneous. In order to avoid waiting you can manually switch to daggerfall-unity-bin.

@Bitals

I don't know how to do this, so let someone else do it.

GDrive does not give you a direct link to a file, they generate a unique one for each session. So if you used your browser to get to download and ran wget on it the next second, it might work for you for a bit, but it won't for another person on another day. All they would get is a page with a button that generates the link with JS, which wget won't interact with in any way, just save.

@DebianLinuxero

I checked everything. Everything downloads fine.

I can't build the package (Manjaro).

makepkg doesn't really download the game data files from Google Drive. Instead, it creates a tiny text file called data.zip which contents HTML code.

Please, check the wget part of the PKGBUILD file.

@Mr.Smith1974 It's unclear in the Wiki. According to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=246117 and https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=268388 , to rename a package you submit it with the new name and request a merge.

@MarsSeed

And how to do this? I don't know how packages are renamed.

MarsSeed commented on 2023-10-25 23:16 (UTC)

Please kindly rename this package to daggerfall-unity-bin.

The 'aur' designation is bogus: there's nothing AUR-specific in this game or this package.

Yes, 0.16.0 is a release candidate. BUT previous versions (including 0.15.4) were BETA versions.

"Release Candidate" means we are closer to the "finished" release and is a better stability rank than beta. The same way beta is a better stability rank than alpha.

Release > Release Candidate > Beta > Alpha

Thus, the fact that it's an RC should explicitly be a reason FOR upgrading, rather than staying on a superceded version.

(I should note that I install and manage my daggerfall unity personally and am not using this package, so your decision does not directly impact me.)

Editing comment to add the argument that not upgrading means fewer people are using a version relevant to current development and thus less useful or actionable testing and feedback for the release candidate phase. That may contribute to delaying the release of 1.0 and/or decreasing it's eventual quality.

msnspk commented on 2023-10-02 17:46 (UTC)

The release notes for the latest release candidate explicitly say:

"Version 0.16.0 is intended to be a stable release for general play"

That version of the game is directly endorsed and recommended by the developers. Again, I'm struggling to understand your hesitation to maintain this package. For the time being, this package is out-of-date and should be flagged as such. Please update it.
