It’s tough for me to criticize Arch, but, in this case with regards to the AUR I need to.
Especially with web browsers. These should have somewhat frequent updates.
Since the application I’m referring to has been flagged out of date with numerous comments requesting to update to latest version.

If you can’t post on aur.archlinux.org wrote to
Maintainer: raininja dandenkijin@gmail.com
directly and ask in nice form why there’s a delay.

It doesn’t help here, I guess.

Good man, does not give up in AUR :slight_smile:

As you probably know, this is not the fault of Arch devs. :slight_smile:

If the slimjet maintainer is not willing to update, it is possible to do it yourself on your system.
Download the required build files:

    yay -Ga slimjet

It creates a folder slimjet. Go there, and modify file PKGBUILD. Near the beginning is a line:

    pkgver=24.0.5.0

Change those numbers to reflect the latest version (see https://www.slimjet.com) and save your modifications.
Then update md5sums and build slimjet with commands

    updpkgsums
    makepkg

Note that this command may want to install other dependency packages as well.
If building goes well, install it with command

    sudo pacman -U slimjet*.xz

Do not find the correct md5sum on webpage or I am blind? :wink:

md5sums_i686=(‘cd5761177a93718dc3d855f9bd7e2d32’)

Oh yes, I forgot to mention you need to update the checksum too. Sorry about that.

To change the md5sums (after you have downloaded the slimjet*.deb file in previous steps):

    updpkgsums

Then you should be able to build it.

EDIT: I’ll edit the previous instructions.

Thank you :slight_smile: work

(5/6) No errors ...  # changed, formerly known as, Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...

md5sums=('e2f3d75bbf4ea8cef106adb30c6b4c83')

md5sums_x86_64=('1ecc7a6a8c583813d4494f2dc43daa8a')

Reminder for me:
x86_64 was correct, but I changed all 3 to this number :smiley:

I guess those are left there for some backwards compatibility only.

x86_64 should be the one you use.
