Usually IB release a new downloadable package that has a new version number. I have a daily script that fetches the download, runs it to determine the version number, then updates this package if the version number changes. This has worked pretty reliably for around six years.

Occasionally IB change the download but do not bump the version number. They've now done this three times for 978.1g. Instead of me continually manually changing the PKGBUILD to accommodate this, I suggest you just edit it to ignore the hash. When IB release a version after 978.1g with a little luck they'll get back to usual with a version number bump each time they change the download.

FYI the script does not update the PKGBUILD pkgrel when it detects a new download with the same version as that would cause those relying on automatic updates to upgrade to a "new" version when in fact it's just a workaround to accommodate IB's repackaging operations.

The real solution would be to have a versioned URL somewhere, but from a licensing perspective I do not believe we can host a copy elsewhere.

@benalexau: The AUR version of TWS seems to be different from the official Linux installer package: The desktop items are not the same, and more importantly, the start login screens seems to be very different optically and functionally and seems to be outdated in the AUR version. For example, it is not possible to switch between 'STABLE', 'LATEST', and 'BETA', and the 'IBKR Light/Pro' icon is still missing in the AUR version. Being not able to switch between editions, I am currently forced to fall back to the manual installer.

yay has the option to ask which package.. ==> Packages to cleanBuild? select # item.

Yay is not asking me to edit PKGBUILDS, and I don't like the diff menu! What can I do? yay --editmenu --nodiffmenu --save

The integrity check can be skipped (using yay) with

yay -S ib-tws --mflags --skipinteg

Of course this means the integrity checks are skipped

I haven't been able to get sound working since I started using TWS mid-last year. It's unfortunate because I do watch BB throughout the day and currently have had a rig up a 1/2 hour browser purging service to bypass their paywall..

It would be nice in general to have sounds working in TWS. Has anyone here had it working whatsoever?

Well, here sound in Tws doesn't work without ffmpeg2.8, sadly. Strange. I am using an external soundcard as well, but I don't see how that can matter.

(I'm on Manjaro)

Same error shows up - please install libavcodec, libavformat, glib for ubuntu 12.04 or equivalent (very outdated versions - so I'm surprised the sounds are working for other people)
