@awhb: the easiest way I can think of is to have a headless browser read that Dropbox page and pull out the latest URL. https://gist.github.com/samueldy/f087e1c56f691280d2f02d7ce732053b This gives you the filename and URL of the latest version, assuming they keep naming the tarballs the same way they have.

I tried playing with the Dropbox API but wasn't able to figure out how to list a shared folder that you haven't added to your own dropbox.

fixed the mismatching checksum for the icon, sorry about that.

besides that i have no idea how to grab the latest package automatically. if anyone can help it would be appreciated.

The latest update (AUR commit b8d0c65) which changes the icon to one with a transparent background didn't also update the SHA256 hash for this image, so the build is failing. Can you update it?

Also, I think awhb's idea about automatically downloading the most recent version from Dropbox is a good idea and would make this AUR package much easier for everyone to use. Thanks!

as there are frequent updates that often include critical bugfixes is there any way to somehow include it in the PKGBUILD to always download the latest version?

otherwise i can offer my help updating the package whenever a new version comes out.

when asked for credentials when you want to download decent sampler from the website, you can put in anything. the email address just has to be in the form of any email address, it does not have to be a valid one.

another option is to click on the link beneath 'older versions can be found here', this also includes the current version. for linux it will take you here.

maybe it's an option to grab the file automated from there and include it in the installer?

unlike a lot of other pkgbuilds this pkgbuild does not download the .tar.gz package is it is hidden behind a email download. so to get the required package you first have to go to the website in the url tag, select the linux version, the fill in your information(to get the file you do NOT need to select "please add me to the decent samples mailing list"). after filling it in you should get a download pop-up, after that take the file from your downloads folder and place it in the decent-sampler-bin folder for the aur-helper you are using. this will allow you to build the package.

@funkmuscle the reason this is happening, is unlike a lot of other pkgbuilds this pkgbuild does not download the .tar.gz package is it is hidden behind a email download. so to get the required package you first have to go to the website in the url tag, select the linux version, the fill in your information(to get the file you do NOT need to select "please add me to the decent samples mailing list"). after filling it in you should get a download pop-up, after that take the file from your downloads folder and place it in the decent-sampler-bin folder for the aur-helper you are using. this will allow you to build the package.
