When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the "Beta updates" tag in Release blog for this.

You can also run this command to obtain the version string for the latest chrome beta version:

$ curl -sSf https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages | \
     grep -A1 "Package: google-chrome-beta" | \
     awk '/Version/{print $2}' | \
     cut -d '-' -f1

Do not report updates for ChromeOS, Android or other platforms stable versions as updates here.

With -s I get exit code 2, but it gives me the files I'm looking for. With -q I get exit code 0, but it doesn't give me the files I'm looking for.

I'm pretty sure that it should be either "-q" or "-qs" as "-s" doesn't change the exit status of the command, and thus wouldn't change the operation of the conditional. As an example: "echo string > realfile; ln -s fakefile brokenlink; grep -s string realfile brokenlink && echo success" prints realfile:string, but "echo string > realfile; ln -s fakefile brokenlink; grep -q string realfile brokenlink && echo success" prints (to stderr) grep: brokenlink: No such file or directory and (to stdout) success. If you combine the two, you skip the error message and you get the right exit status.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the explaination! :) After some proof, the right flag should be -s, because -q neither tells the files.

Because if there's a symlink to a nonexistent file in there, grep throws an error when it tries to read it. Skipping the conditional should work just fine.

mmm... I don't understand quite well. With grep I'm searching in pkgdir, why should it be important if chrome has been already installed or not? Anyway, I was planning to keep only this part: sed -i "s/google\/chrome/google-chrome/g" $(grep -Rl "/google/chrome" *) and removing the "if-fi", since there's no reason to check if there are those kind of occurences, because they're present and I know that. What do you think?

dhaines commented on 2011-01-11 19:06 (UTC)

The pkgbuild *almost* corrects this. Here's the skinny: the installation makes symlinks inside the pkgdir to things outside of it. It then runs a test with grep to fix the issue I raised. If the things outside the pkgdir don't exist, i.e. google-chrome isn't already installed as of the time that it's being built, the grep returns a non-zero exit and the sed thereafter doesn't execute. You can fix this by running the grep with a "-q" which will return success on the first hit and will otherwise ignore errors. The sed is fine as is.

I don't want to say something stupid, but the pkgbuild corrects this. So, could it be a problem of cache? I don't know :/

dhaines commented on 2011-01-11 17:19 (UTC)

I installed this (via aurget) and /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop points to /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome, while the actual executable (script) is at /opt/google-chrome/google-chrome. Thus, the Applications menu item no longer works.

Updated, sorry but I was away :)
