No, 'which' is in base-devel. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites

This should get "which" added into depends=(...).

See https://github.com/gaenserich/hostsblock/commits/master for a complete list of updates Version 0.999.3 (Alpha 3) (30.10.2015) *Added more optional source files to hostsblock.conf. Added user agent info to curl to make work with more sites. Sanitized hostsblock.conf file a little bit. *Added function to force target file update even if no changes are found to source files *Fixed incorrect invocation of _strip_entries subroutine *Fixed remaining appearances of gzip -z. (Thanks to Julián Landerreche) *Fixed misspelled whitelist/whilelist variable *Fixed incorrect use of -z with gzip/pigz *Fixed line 261 in hostsblock-common.sh (white list write function)

Does anyone else experience that ntpd goes crazy in cpu usage, when hostsblock is applied?

@rpodgorny Thanks. Do feel free to make a git version. I'll probably work a bit more on optimizing the packaging leading up to 1.0 stable.

ah, ok. i suggest adding some git tags, then, and linking to gzipped file in pkgbuild. also, having a hostsblock-git pkgbuild would be nice. if you're not going to create one, i'll take care of that. thanks for the hostsblock!

@rpodgorny I'm quite sure (I'm the original author). I'm in the process of getting rid of the homepage and just using the github page instead.

are you sure the version is correct? the home page lists 0.12.3 as the latest.
