Hello guys, I know you are waiting for the new FTB update, but for now packaging it is not possible, since the launcher cannot be installed in places that the user does not have write permission (E.g: /usr/share/feedthebeast or /opt/feedthebeast). Check this and this. For now use the classic launcher or install the new one using the official installer at https://feed-the-beast.com.

Also: When packaging the launcher is possible again, I will create another package for the classic/legacy version (for those who prefer to use it).

Updated.

Thanks so much; will update asap.

Update to last: It seems the creeperrepo.net insists on the outdated www subdomain. To scrape the server time, use curl with the www.creeperrepo.net full name, ie. use http://www.creeperrepo.net/getdate With that fixed, the proper magic hash generation code becomes: echo -n "mcepoch1$(curl --silent http://www.creeperrepo.net/getdate)" | md5sum | awk '{print $1}'

Bingo. Turns out the launcher for FTB is open source https://github.com/Slowpoke101/FTBLaunch . In the file FTBLaunch/src/net/ftb/util/DownloadUtils.java the method getCreeperhostLink() is defined, which generates the md5 hash from the concatenation of mcepoch1 with the current time from getTime() , which comes from http://creeperrepo.net/getdate . The format of the date returned is DDMMYY according to the javadoc. So +/- 1 on the day value (assuming the local clock is accurate), this will yield the magic hash: echo -n "mcepoch1$(date +%d%m%y)" | md5sum | awk '{print $1}' It seems http://creeperrepo.net/getdate is down at moment, so I can't see how one might scrape that right now.

So, upstream basically is ignoring my attempts to contact them, so I guess I'll just move the jar elsewhere, and upload a new PKGBUILD afterwards.

luolimao commented on 2013-03-02 18:21 (UTC)

Edit: not more cumbersome, but I won't necessarily be aware of what's going on upstream.

luolimao commented on 2013-03-02 18:20 (UTC)

If I don't get a response within the next week, then I will probably rehost. The only issue with that is that it's more cumbersome to maintain, obviously, so I'm avoiding that if I can.

@C5OK5Y: Rehosting is one option. luolimao's comment of the 23rd indicated that he's trying to talk to upstream about a solution that doesn't break the day after. I also see no reason to replace the SHA-2 hashes with an MD5 one. @luolimao: Re: 1+2, the checksums were there to indicate that they hadn't changed. :) Re: 3, I didn't know it changes every day. That sucks. :/ I hope you get something sorted with upstream.

Please rehost the file somewhere so the download doesn't constantly break. Then please replace the sha256sum and sha512sum with an md5sum.

luolimao commented on 2013-02-23 15:20 (UTC)

3 things of note: 1. I don't really need the checksums, because I have a script to replace them automatically. 2. The checksums haven't changed anyway. 3. The download link changes every day. I'm going to ask the feedthebeast devs how they generate their links (for example, if it's an md5sum of the date or something). It looks like an md5sum of some sort; it's the same length at least, and uses only hex digits. Hopefully I can then stick that in the PKGBUILD to generate the download link on-the-fly, and I would only need to update the PKGBUILD when the actual data in the jar changes (which happens every ~2-3 weeks).
