timofonic: You asked for -git/nightly builds. The developer started offering them, soooo - have a PKGBUILD:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/shellcheck-git-static

doskoi: The ranty message has been updated to correctly express how irritating Haskell packaging on Arch is at the moment. Thank you.

The haskell dependencies weight "only" 130 MB now ;)

Should be renamed to -bin. -static implies there's some special configuration going on, but the package is still built from source, where this one clearly isn't.

That storage is maintained by the developer. He saw the whole pandoc-static thing going down on the forums and set that up. It's linked to from the github page:
https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck#installing

If you can point me to a more up-to-date source of a static build (ie. one without hundreds of MB of haskell dependencies) I'll immediately update this package to use it.

Would it be possible to offer -git/nightly builds of the package?

I found the following, but latest date comes from 16 October 2017. Who maintains that storage?

https://shellcheck.storage.googleapis.com/shellcheck-latest.linux.x86_64.tar.xz

I'm going to clone your package and modify it to use the latest version. I can assign you as maintaner or co-maintainer if you want to ;)

Done.

You didn't updated pkgrel in the .SRCINFO file with the last update.

Much appreciated, thank you!
