The latest version has an invalid checksum for the .desktop file. I was able to install it by manually changing the checksum.
Alko89 commented on 2017-11-24 21:57 (UTC)
yup, its OK now...strange, I tried downloading the file three times with the same result
Marcel_K commented on 2017-11-24 21:11 (UTC)
Probably a network error. Just run makepkg again.
Alko89 commented on 2017-11-24 21:04 (UTC)
Does anyone have issues with the latest snapshot? Mine has the site of 0 bytes and tar gives mi an error `tar: This does not look like a tar archive`

IIRC there was an effort to bring the open source version into [community] but it was abandoned after realizing it required a lot of patching to make it fit.
wooptoo commented on 2017-11-15 11:27 (UTC)
This pkg should be in community since it's so popular.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (read before flagging or commenting!)
- What is the difference between this package and the one in the community repo?
This is the official binary distribution from Microsoft. The one in the community repo is an unofficial build made from source. Beyond the licence difference and branding, there are some proprietary features not available in the open-source version.
- There is a new version out, why is the package not updated?
This package depends on both the official tarball and files from GitHub. Please check this page AND this page before flagging as out-of-date. If the new version isn't on both pages, this package cannot be updated! If you can see the new version on both pages, but the AUR package is still not updated, flag it and give it time. It's usually done within hours.
- I'm using an AUR helper (yay, yaourt etc.) and I can't install it. Why?
Sometimes AUR helpers do weird things. Download the tarball and install it manually with makepkg -si. If that works, report the problem to your AUR helper's upstream, not here.
- When I install this package
xdg-openuses vscode, not my file manager! How do I fix this?
Install shared-mime-info-gnome gnome-session which now includes mimemapps.
- Why is $X a dependency? I don't like it.
Just because $X is not required to open the app, doesn't mean there is nothing that depends on it. Always search the comment history on AUR to see if that dependency has been previously discussed before writing your own comment. Still nothing? Then use namcap to make sure it's really not needed. If namcap doesn't complain, please leave a comment here and I'll investigate.
- Something is broken with the app, where do I report it?
The problem might be a packaging issue (wrong paths, dependencies, icons), so please write a comment here first. If you don't get a reply, or if someone says it's an upstream issue, you can report it on GitHub.
- I have a problem with this package, can I email you?
No, you won't get a reply. Please stop doing this. Leave a comment here instead and be patient.

@afzalarsalan: Thanks, moved it back to depends.
