@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?
@Ashark: done :)
Can you please add vscode to provides array? See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Talk:Visual_Studio_Code#Provides_array_for_flavor_packages
Ok, thanks, it's fixed now.
@furai I accidentally pushed checksums when testing out code-flags.conf. Should be fixed now.
It seems that installing this package after recent changes will always fail on shasum checks? Every new update downloaded will have different SHA so we shouldn't be really checking for those?
@ZZYSonny fixed, thanks!
There are a few issues with your approach. In /usr/bin/code-insiders, you forgot to change the /bin/code bit. In .desktop file, you should use the /usr/bin/code-insiders instead of /opt/visual-studio-code-insiders/bin/code-insiders. Otherwise code-flags is not applied.

This package is now automatically updated every day.
No need to build manually or mess with your AUR helpers.
