When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop.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.

Easiest way to test is always with a clean profile. Rename ~/.cache/google-chrome/ and ~/.config/google-chrome/.

Anyone experiencing a total freeze when opening the Downloads page while downloading something?

Or, rather, unless you mean the data.tar.xz, the package type in Arch is .pkg.tar*, which by default is .pkg.tar.xz since 2010.

Chrome does not update it's self for us. On .deb based package managers there's a cron job that checks for updates, but that just works for Ubuntu and Debian. There's another mechanism for Windows and OS X users, but again that has nothing to do with us. For us, Chrome has to be extracted from the .deb archive and converted over to the .xz archive in order to install.

I'm not aware of Chrome automatically updating itself, besides on OS X, Windows, and Ubuntu (adds itself to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/).

Here's a question: Does one need to keep updating this AUR package? Chrome self-updates to newer versions (when I installed it manually before). Or, does this package disable the auto-updating part of Chrome so that one must always keep this AUR package up to date?

That's good if they should be up-to-date as well, but there were enough people without one for me to just put the version number up there. In-and-of-itself, you don't do much with a PKGBUILD without pacman.

Any package belonging to the base (pacman is in base) or base-devel group are assumed to be installed and up to date on their systems before running makepkg, so adding pacman to the makedepends is redundant and unneeded.

Det commented on 2015-12-30 01:19 (UTC)

@markzz, "and the PKGBUILD doesn't appear to need any extra things from a specific version of pacman." Except it does actually quite clearly :D. "source_$CARCH" and "md5sums_$CARCH" were both features of makedepends=('pacman>=4.2.0').

markzz commented on 2015-12-29 23:20 (UTC) (edited on 2015-12-29 23:23 (UTC) by markzz)

Why is pacman a makedepends? It shouldn't be there because pacman is assumed to be installed on the system and the PKGBUILD doesn't appear to need any extra things from a specific version of pacman.
