The current version (2019.1) doesn't get displayed in the version string because the actual tag is in a separate branch. This is the -git version and builds from the master branch which latest tag is sadly 2017.2 but it's actually several commits in front of the 2019.1 tag. So this package is not outdated, pbnoxious.

If you know how I can get the latest tag over multiple branches with a matching filter let me know.

As opposed to…? All I'm aware of is UH installing a symlink to that exact launcher under a name that's easier to memorize.

If something is expected to be placed elsewhere during setup process I'd assume the best course of action is asking about a change in that process upstream – the package simply trusts those definitions are correct and executes them. But I didn't understand the expected behavior from your comment just yet, so you might have to clarify a bit: What would you like to happen but didn't?

This package does not install the run_uh.py script.

Works without any problems.

And migrated back to fife-git after the segfaults look like they've been fixed.

Thanks! Updated to fife in lieu of fife-git for stability concerns mentioned before.

please update dependency list according to the request [1]:

fife-svn -> fife-git

1. https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2014-August/001181.html

@ChrisOelmueller The svn repository fife-svn uses seems to be last updated around Feburary 2013. What issues do you see with fife-git?

Probably can work with fife-git as well, but there are several things about it (and fifechan-git) that I'm not confident with requiring right now.
