@bxs: I associate out of date not with breaking build but with sources (the main package source or its attached dependencies) that are not up to date. It doesn't have to break the build, but if the build is broken for everybody (so not just a single user), for me that's an out-of-date because something has to be updated. As a side result, I think people will also expect less from out-of-date packages, so when they notice it doesn't build they are somewhat prepared.

@egeerardyn Ok, I only associate the "flag out of date" with new versions, not with break PKGBUILDs, but looking at Wiki about AUR it's not that clear, probably one of the things needing some more attention :-) About the complexity, is only because of the ****** stupid binary installer, I don't like it a bit, exist a lot of good and friend binary installers, but this one is quite bad, so to avoid more work and trouble I simple created a fakechroot environment to let the installer think it is the lord and have 100% control of the system to make it happy and install the **** thing. So is quite simple, just a fakechroot environment ;-)

Thanks for the quick update! @bxs: I flagged it out of date because one of your source links was out of date. Now I at least understand why we need all that complexity in the package (but as you said, I don't understand half of what is going on in there) ;-)

Can the person who flagged the package out of date tell me where is this new version of MplabX? As far as I can see the v1.30 is currently the last version... @egeerardyn, As you said you can't get one of the sources, thanks for the info, I fixed it. About your concerns, yes it's needed in 64bit systems because mplabx is a 32bit installer and need root to install and the "normal fakeroot" as you call it, in 64bit systems only have the 64bit lib, but I need a 32bit one. And I think that people only call it "black magic" because they don't understand it ;-)

I can't seem to build it, it always throws a 404 error on the fakechroot sources. Which makes me wonder, is it really needed to have those downloaded? Can't the normal fakechroot package be used? Because as it is, this leaves your package fragile to whenever those sources are updated. I'm with v0id: there is a lot of black magic going on in this PKGBUILD.
