The reason for piping the output to /dev/null is so that the system logs (/var/log/daemon.log in particular) don't get bloated with Minecraft log information. This isn't a huge issue for vanilla players, but if one plays with mods the amount of log entries can be quite a nuisance.

Updated icon and removed output to /dev/null
Tried the swing flags but as said by @hobarrera it doesn't seem to work with jre7

Is this package still obsolete? The path to download Minecraft.jar is still the same, but the actual file is different.

Where were these file obtained? Is this a launcher or the real game?

Could you switch the png to a higher resolution one, like this one, for example: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/008/6/1/minecraft_hd_icon___mac___pc_by_hunterkharon-d36qrs5.png
It's ripped directly from the Minecraft source and it looks a lot better in Gnome 3.

@J0k3r: Doesn't work for me. AFAIK, that swing+gtk no longer works as of java7. :/
CheapTransfers commented on 2013-07-19 01:38 (UTC)
if you want the new launcher to use the swing gtk l&f, insert
'-Dswing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel'
in your start script.
You can also insert
'-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true'
for anti-aliased fonts.

Is there any particular reason to pipe all output to /dev/null?

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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.
