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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

@Brottweiler The tweet mentioned do not talk about the download link, but about the version file and my package already points to the link requested by Dinnerbone: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/minecraft?h=minecraft#n11

I flagged the package out of date now because the source URL is still not updated to the new one, which means this package could break randomly at any time when the legacy URL is removed.

I don't see any reason why you should place the new launcher here at all. As there already is a package with the new launcher maintained by Mojang, it would result in having two packages for the same thing, which is just useless.

Missing dependency issue : Permanently resolved

Missing dependency gconf I think.

./launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I suspect the underlying problem is that Mojang update their "staging" tar, but do not create versioned release archives. Therefore this package is stuck on the latest (broken) release 2.0.579, while Minecraft_staging.tar.gz stays updated and keeps working.

IMO Mojang need to improve the way they handle this, preferably by creating more releases and keeping this package in sync with them. Otherwise we are forced to use packages such as minecraft-launcher-tar that try to keep in sync with the (fully functional) staging build.

@SuperGeniusZeb I added gconf to the dependencies and updated Minecraft to the latest version. Thank you :)
