You download a pre-compiled binary instead of building from source.

So you must rename your package to mullvad-tray-bin (i.e. with the -bin suffix). And add provides=("mullvad-tray=${pkgver}"), conflicts=("mullvad-tray"), replaces=("mullvad-tray<=2.0.2").

For renaming, the the Arch Linux wiki: Upload a new package under the new name and file a merge request to the old package to be merged into the new.

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

Please use the sha256sums array on source files!

If you only use downloaded checksum files, manipulation cannot be detected if the downloaded .sha256 file is manipulated accordingly.

python-requests needs to be added to the depends array.

License needs to be changed to GPL3.

@wilberfan: Same here on GNOME. I have the KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator Support Extension installed and everything else shows up.

FYI, if you have the desktop client (mullvad-vpn AUR package) installed, it has it's own tray icon, this isn't necessary.

I've been experimenting with Mullvad for the last 30 minutes or so, via the desktop client. I installed mullvad-tray, but I don't see a tray icon anywhere. (Gnome) Is there something else I need to configure, or...? Or does that only work with OpenVPN or WireGuard, etc?

@yochananmarqos, I greatly appreciate the critique. We all learn new tricks everyday. I let myself to incorporate your suggestions. Thanks.

A little PKGBUILD critique:

The url should be the package's home page or in your case the GitLab page, not a direct link to the archive. Look at the Upstream URL here on this page, people should be able to click it and read about the project.

You already have the desktop file in the archive, no reason to have it separate.

Why are you using validpkgkeys? You didn't generate any user keys. See here.

I optimized it a bit as well, here's the end result.
