simple feature request. can we kill the "question" altogether? maybe default to looking up the file in XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR, else using the token to download the tarball (maybe with a 5s timeout or whatever), else fall back to the question?

@E3LDDfrK: Pretty standard, most Arch installations should have it set. I will incorporate it with the next version update (with a fallback to '~/Downloads')

(PKGBUILDs usually check for the 'XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR' Variable)

How standard is https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_user_directories ? The PKGBUILD could perhaps check that instead of defaulting to ~/Downloads.

For those who bought Factorio on gog.com, you can use the serial number you get to register on the official website and download a proper tarball.

Hi,

I was thinking that maybe the whole download code could be exiled to a separate project: it adds the following benefits:

  • could be portable (to other distros, or even systems if written in POSIX sh)
  • can be used by all factorio* PKGBUILDs
  • would make the PKGBUILD of factorio* much lighter
  • safety: we get one package for downloads, and not a convoluted PKGBUILD that might change for reasons other than build procedure or version update

What do you think? I'd even do it in January if necessary.

Cheers

@mickael9: done. Thanks for the advice!

@duthils: can you add -r flag to the read calls in the PKGBUILD ? (mostly the one for the password, so that users can have passwords with backslashes) No need to bump pkgrel for this since it doesn't affect the built package. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=factorio-experimental&id=1009a4e54f93b9fe8100e7fe2383478eef73b843

@mickael9: Awesome, that's a good idea! I merged your download script and I changed it a bit to make it clearer. Thanks again!

@duthils Sorry, I'm only seeing your reply now (or I already did and forgot about it :P) I modified my script so that it downloads the package if you don't provide anything (ie just press enter). See the factorio-experimental PKGBUILD: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=factorio-experimental

That's very nice, thanks a lot! My only problem with this is that I think one question during installation is already one too many, so I'd like to avoid asking two questions in a row. What do you think about replacing the download question by entering "login" or "download" or "fetch" or whatever word when prompted for the file path?
