Yeah. I'm changing up the automation so we can work on the PKGBUILDs manually and something went a little weird with the pkgrel handling. Fix incoming.
minecraft-launcher is newer than aur? huh?
minecraft-launcher: local (2.1.16102-2) is newer than AUR (2.1.16102-1)
from yay. ????
This package doesn't need the obsolete gconf
EDIT: Thanks for this.
I was able to force java8 by setting the JAVA_HOME variable. I suggest having this script for /usr/bin/minecraft-launcher and having minecraft-launcher.desktop have Exec=minecraft-launcher
#!/bin/sh
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/"
exec /opt/minecraft-launcher/minecraft-launcher "$@"
This would require java-runtime=8 or specifically jre8-openjdk
does this actually need gconf? if it does, that's okay, but a comment on that package says that chromium and electron havent depended on it for years, and its a bit annoying having to need it because it is also an aur pakage
@kashall
Package is out of date, Mojang has released a new version on their website but this package uses the static version of the old launcher. We actually use an unversioned link to the latest available deb package. I did a clean build and I didn't saw any checksum errors and version of the launcher is the same.
I don't really get the dependency list:
Frankly I don't really know, just find it weird

The package version is the version of the launcher bootstrap - the part that actually downloads and updates the launcher.
That means the version number of the actual launcher (2.x.xxx) is different from the version here (9xx+) on a fundamental level, and should not be compared.
The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.
