When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop.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

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

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

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

It seems like he is his own script locally (not shared here) to create/update the PKGBUILD when updates to Chrome happen. Quotes from t3ddy, "I could change the pkgbuild if there's a way to predict the build number automatically, so I can change the script to read the version and modify the pkgbuild accordingly." "The problem is that chrome gets updated very frequently, so I'm using a script to do the job. Making your change will make the script useless and increase my work." At a guess, when he is notified (or becomes aware of an update by some other means), he runs a script which downloads the latest version for both architectures, checks the md5sums and updates the PKGBUILD. As I said, this makes perfect sense to me. I do the same with my own frequently updating PKGBUILD. His complaint previously about changing the URL to point to a specific build that this would make his life harder because it "will make the script useless".

Well first off you can remove the unnecessary ones by just using the red/white cross buttons there. Also he's not using any scripts. The URL he's using doesn't change - just the file that gets downloaded.

@DetYes, apologies. I thought of each improvement a bit at a time. I wasn't international spamming. Anyway I don't think the idea would be to put it in the PKGBUILD itself. t3ddy said, "The problem is that chrome gets updated very frequently, so I'm using a script to do the job." I read that as him having some meta-script that creates/updates the PKGBUILD for him. This make sense as I do the same thing for opera-next (opera development builds). So presumably he would add the logic to his meta script, not the PKGBUILD itself.

1) And that couldn't all fit in one post? 2) Also that's gonna look so great in the Sources section there.

@t3ddy: I suspect this is what you want your meta script to do: echo http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_$(curl -s https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz | zcat | awk -F "[ -]" '/Package: google-chrome-stable/ { getline ; print $2"-"$3 }')_$(uname -m | sed 's/i.86/i386/;s/x86_64/amd64/').deb It will print back whatever is the link to the current stable version.

PLEASE add kdebase-kdialog as an optdepend! Took me ages to figure out which package was needed.

Important for all KDE-Users: Chrome uses from version 16 on the default KDE-dialogues. Therefore the packages kdebase-kdialog has to be installed. Otherwise Chrome won't show any dialog-box under KDE.
