Can anyone else confirm that upgrading to kernel 5.1.11 breaks steamcmd? I keep getting time outs when trying to retrieve data. Downgrading kernel fixed it for me.

Seeing as that script was taken with little modifications from Debian, I will leave it as is.

In the steamcmd script, you must quote the "$@", or else arguments with spaces in their names will get split a second time.

Nukesor: I will get this updated and I will model this package after the one in Debian's repositories to not interfere with a possible steam desktop install.

The download link is obsolete. There is a new one from the official docs:}

curl -sqL "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz"

Please fix this one :) Otherwise the current version needs root access to update itself and can't be executed by an unprivileged user.

eimis: Your initial run of steamcmd needs to be ran as root to update steamcmd itself. Once this is done, you can run it as a non-root user to install the application you want with it.

Debian managed to package this properly - works fine on non privileged user. Works fine after chowning -R user.users the staemcmd dir.

Wouldn't it be possible to make a "steam" or "steamcmd" Unix group (or maybe even user as Valve suggests: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux ) and give that permissions instead of having to run as root?

Please read the note on the Wiki before using this PKGBUILD: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam#SteamCMD

jtmb, Shatur, gary9872: Try running steamcmd as root to update.
