Arch Linux User Repository

!!! Please do NOT flag the package out of date just because a new version has been release. !!!

Parsec self-updates and as long as the package still installs (no sha256 mismatch), there is no reason to update it in the AUR as the .deb actually is an older version.

Not sure what changed (seems it's upstream change), but /usr/share/applications/parsec.desktop got changed from Terminal=true to Terminal=false which is great since we have native desktop app (no longer need to use browser).

But wondering why I had to perform trizen -S parsec-bin manually to update this package and there is no update for such little change in https://parsecgaming.com/changelog/ ? Also parsec versioning control is such a mess....

So, @tadly - if you could make me a maintainer, I could set up script to auto update this PKGBUILD according to provided content-length attribute from the server:

curl -sI https://builds.parsecgaming.com/package/parsec-linux.deb | grep -i Content-Length | awk '{print $2}'

@Thulinma I remember this being an issue with another package I maintain.
Thanks for the heads-up, should be fixed now :)

Hey there! Thanks for keeping this package up to date. Unfortunately the software does hash checks on some of its files, meaning Arch's stripping of binaries changes the hash and can very easily result in a corrupt install. To prevent issues, please add:

options=('!strip')

To the PKGBUILD and it should no longer happen. :-)

@erkexzcx thanks. This would have been a big issue actually. Hope this iteration fixes it (Don't have a arm device available to test)

Not a big issue, but sources on AUR website for arm architectures looks slightly misleading... :D

https://builds.parsecgaming.com/package/parsec-rpi.deb[@] (aarch64)

thanks @E5ten

Everyone else. You might have to explicitly re-install the package due to the version number being in a different format now.

@tadly I don't use parsec anymore, disowning so you can take over.

@erkexzcx Hm. didn't get a notification for your comment... Anyways. This works on x86_64. ARM I can't test but I would expect it to work.

@tadly - nice one. Just letting you know that your PKGBUILD source code will not work since ARM and x86_64 download URLs are different.

@E5ten there you go. Or disown the package and let me maintain it if you don't have the time or desire to do so.
