Hey, is it normal that with new yay (v12) package manager it things are downloaded twice? As in it downloads the package version mentioned in the PKGBUILD header and then it also downloads the ones calculated from the latest URLs?
What could be the reason here? Should I report it to yay or has it always been this way?
The --no-sandbox flag is no longer required.
I still have notification about newer version after update/reinstall...
Extensions seem to be (partially?) broken here. For example, try to install the pre-release version of the pylance extension. That seems to fail with pretty much no obvious error info. I think MS might have turned on some sort of rate-limiting on the plugin download.
@platypus - Happy to help. In the future, I'd like to set up a CI pipeline so the AUR package is automatically updated as well.
@dcelasun - That's absolutely correct, I have failed to read the file properly, my apologies. Have a good one! :) P.S. That was a damn fast response
@platypus - Yes it does, it's just not reflected on AUR. When you download the tarball and install with makepkg -si, you'll see that the pkgver() function is called and the pkgver variable is automatically updated.
@dcelasun - No, it does not always do that. It has the pkgkversion bound in the PKGBUILD.
Package Version: 1657047632 Latest version: 1667540698
To always get the latest build and not having to hard code it, you'd have to use the generic URL (e.g. for terminal: $ wget https://code.visualstudio.com/sha/download\?build\=stable\&os\=linux-deb-x64 code-insiders-latest.deb )
TLDR: Nope - I'm blind. It pulls the latest.
dcelasun, have you considered making a -headless version of this package?

This package always installs the latest insiders build so don't flag it as out-of-date, just rebuild and you'll get the latest version.
