@eRaz0r
just use the pkgbuild i made that doesn't rely on hard-coded version numbers: https://pastebin.com/raw/gPnzKezr
this is probably a better solution than someone coming in and updating the version numbers in the PKGBUILD every time MS updates the browser. i'd update the AUR package with this PKGBUILD but i'm not the maintainer of the package.
New Version out : microsoft-edge-stable_98.0.1108.50-1_amd64
since i am "new" to arch, i hope the pkgbuild gets updates soon. tried to do it myself, but it failed because of the sh256 checksum.
so i am waiting till the maintainer updates it to the latest 98 stable release ;D
@snowblind001: thanks for the updated PKGBUILD
It still tried to grab v97 today, but manually changing the version number in the PKGBUILD successfully built v98.
Thanks for updating to ver 97
Thanks for updating to ver 97! :D Question, the downloads icon on toolbar used to have a fill up circle as the downloads progressed. Now I don't see it. Is this the new behavior of Edge, the behavior of Edge on Linux or just a bug that I have myself? Thanks a lot.
@snowblind001 thanks for the PKGBUILD
Here we go, here's an updated PKGBUILD that just curls the Linux deb download directory directly (ie, https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge/pool/main/m/microsoft-edge-stable/)
this PKGBUILD should only download the latest package that is actually available to download, and won't be confused by ESRs.
edit: here's the working link, the first link i posted i had the versions mucked up. confirmed to work: https://pastebin.com/raw/nUz3dK5P
@mibrony oh weird, huh. yeah the ESR is a lower version than the latest release, but released more recently. thanks for the heads up, i wonder if there's a way i can filter that properly
@snowblind001 There seems to be a problem when the latest version is an Extended Stable release (96.0.1054.75 Extended Stable, Jan/21/2022), which I guess is a Windows-only release, and the URL of it will return an HTTP404 error. I downloaded the latest version 97 and rename it to match the version number as a workaround.
@goosereborn This would be unstable for the reason I mentioned above, there needs to be a workaround before this could get on the AUR.

Please wait 30 minutes after a new update is released by Microsoft. The out-of-date flag sends an email notification to all those subscribed. If after a day the package stays out-of-date then please go ahead and flag the package as out-of-date to notify us.
