@mar04, sure. Curious what is your workflow? I've always used AUR manually, so would have just not updated in this case.

Please don't bump pkgrel for such trivial changes - there is no need for existing users to update.

Thanks, made your suggested update.

Amazing, thank you. There is one more thing you might consider. The message printed says to download the "source" however, if you go to the nand2tetris site, there's the standard zip file to download, and further down at the bottom you can also download the actual source. This may confuse users. At first I thought the PKGBUILD was requesting the actual source, but when I checked the PLKGBUILD I saw it was expecting a file with the name nand2tetris.zip. Perhaps we can make this clearer in the message by saying something like "... download the nand2tetris.zip file from nand2tetris.org and move it into $srcdir"

Hi abrahammurciano, thanks for the suggestions! I changed the upstream url to just the homepage. That should be more robust to url changes. As you recommended, I changed to $srcdir.

Please consider using the gdrive tool to download the zip instead of telling the user to do it. And if that is infeasible, at least tell the user precisely (absolute path, eg echo $srcdir) where to put the zip file.

Also, the zip file is outdated. Please update that.

Thanks for the report!

I reworked the PKGBUILD to have users download the source manually via their browser. I'm not sure there is a better solution.

Others have asked in the forums [1] [2] about Google drive links and the advice seems to be to host somewhere else, either by asking upstream or cross-posting. Neither of those options seems feasible in this case.

It looks like that Drive link is having some issues already. Maybe it would be a good idea to expect the user to handle creating ~/Downloads/nand2tetris.zip, and then have the pkgbuild use that instead? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/davinci-resolve/ does this and it works pretty well.
