@pjag Thanks for letting me know. I've updated the script to check releases instead of tags. If there are still issues associated with tag-release timing, I would have to try a different workaround because of Cloudflare protection.

I am not in contact with upstream developers. Based on comments elsewhere, they appear to prefer to not be disturbed about downstream packaging issues.

Hey, thanks for making this package, I was thinking about something like this as well. I have one minor gripe though - when the upstream pushes a new commit, there seems to be some period of time where a github tag exists, but the download is still unavailable (right now I can't download a release from over half an hour ago because it doesn't exist).

So I think the "right" way to go about this would be to somehow fetch the newest release from pcsx2.net - I even had a shitty little local script that did something like this, but it broke at some point because of some kind of Cloudflare protection (I based it on what the website does itself):

curl -s https://api.pcsx2.net/v1/nightlyReleases | jq -r .data[0].version

If you happen to be in contact with upstream developers maybe something could be worked out to reliably get the newest release number?

This should neither conflict with nor provide pcsx2-git, per guidelines

@xiota the one I use is "aurto", which uses the VCS suffix to check less often for package updates. Other AUR helpers might work differently, though.

@flavionm I agree this package isn't like other -bin packages, but -git doesn't really fit. I don't use AUR helpers. Do you have a reference to documentation describing how AUR helpers work so I can see what options are available?
