I've just updated this but under a new name of flirc-bin as this is a binary package; the source is not provided. I'll merge this now.

The website says 3.27.9 is the latest, and that isn't a versioned file, so what benefit is there to use that file?

I mailed to ask, and was advised the source url is out of date.

The new archive to be used is http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x86_64/flirc.latest.x86_64.tar.gz

I switched that into the PKGBUILD and it appears to work.

Why not just change the PKGBUILD to point to the archive with the working binary? Bump the epoch up one. Then, when an archive with a version in its filename comes, the PKGBUILD can be updated again.

Edit: so I copied the PKGBUILD and updated it to the noted archive, but there are continual error messages returned to the terminal when running Flirc. I have messaged Flirc, fingers crossed..

Sorry man, I meant let's wait for the situation to resolve itself. Thank you

What update are you suggesting to this package? I said this was an upstream issue; I am waiting for them to provide a versioned release of this software which has currently gone down.

For those who need Flirc to work, here's how I did it on Manjaro, without the "flirc-bin" AUR package. Of course an updated "flirc-bin" package would be more convenient, though!

This may gives you an error such that "libreadline.so.7" is missing.

  • Install "readline7" from AUR and/or the missing libs. I only had to install this one.
  • ~ sudo ./Flirc

Should work. Don't forget the "sudo". Sorry if my steps are not 100% accurate, I'm not an expert Linux. Feel free to fix them.

The 404 error is an upstream issue (they still link to it in their installation script), please report there or wait for them to fix it.
