Please stop flagging package as out-of-date until there is stable version, not alpha, beta, RC or whatever.

I agree that was an ugly solution. You can do much better and that is very good! I quickly made working solution based on previous version and some other example without thinking, that was wrong. But this is AUR! You act at your own risk! And I made just a comment in AUR, didn't force anybody to use what I suggested.

Duplicate and unused depends, inconsistent use of braces, inadequate use of quoting, using mkdir -p instead of install, using cp -a on a file instead of install, using cp -aR (which is meaningless), taking source files from different Ubuntu releases, creating variables without prefixing them with '_', ... Need I go on?

Apparently it's about the changes you proposed and I committed. I fail to see the kind of a mess they made of things, however.

Funny, what changes did I make? I never owned or maintained this package :)

I don't use it right now, but I'll do a cleanup. cobalt's changes made a mess of things.

Updated as proposed, again. Since finally having gotten ace-engine to run directly on my Mac via wine, I no longer employ this package myself. Will therefore disown it again, because I think it's a bad idea to maintain something with no vested personal interest.

3.0.0 alpha is very buggy. Latest version is 3.0.2 http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/14/acestream_3.0.2_ubuntu_14.04_x86_64.tar.gz So edited PKGBUILD as follows (changing pkgver and download links, and skipping chechsums): # Contributor: MacCyber <jonas.enge at gmail dot com> # Contributor: Doug Newgard <scimmia22 at outlook dot com> # Contributor: Jonas Heinrich <onny@project-insanity.org> # Contributor: Antti Hautaniemi <an7oine at me com> pkgname=acestream-engine pkgver=3.0.2 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="ACE Stream engine" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://acestream.org/" license=('unknown') depends=('python2-setuptools' 'python2-psutil' 'python2-pip' 'python2-xlib' 'python2-pip') optdepends=('libappindicator: for GTK interface') conflicts=('acestream') if [[ "$CARCH" == "i686" ]]; then ubuntu_files="acestream_3.0.2_ubuntu_14.04_i686" ubuntu_source="http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/14/$ubuntu_files.tar.gz" ubuntu_sha256="SKIP" else ubuntu_files="acestream_3.0.2_ubuntu_14.04_x86_64" ubuntu_source="http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/14/$ubuntu_files.tar.gz" ubuntu_sha256="SKIP" fi source=( "$ubuntu_source" 'acestream-engine.service' ) sha256sums=( "$ubuntu_sha256" 'b9863a9dd3ee6d41d18475f5f539107fe81a573f45ca1cb98013441f955f1af0' ) install='acestream-engine.install' package() { mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/ ${pkgdir}/usr/share/acestream cp -a "$srcdir"/$ubuntu_files/acestreamengine ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/ cp -aR "$srcdir"/$ubuntu_files/data ${pkgdir}/usr/share/acestream cp -aR "$srcdir"/$ubuntu_files/lib ${pkgdir}/usr/share/acestream install -D -m 644 "$srcdir/acestream-engine.service" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/acestream-engine.service" }

I think upgrade to 3.0.0-alpha is a bad idea, it breaks acestream-player and it is alpha after all. Version 2.1.6 works just fine.

Upgraded into 3.0.0-alpha along the lines of what 'artteam' and 'cobalt' proposed. Added a service file introducing an 'acestream' user account running the engine.

Thanks, artteam, for pointing this out! I am not sure if new alpha version of the acestream-engine should be here in PKGBUILD since it brakes acestreamplayer. But it can be installed without braking the old version 2.1.6. More info can be found at http://wiki.acestream.org/wiki/index.php/AceStream_3.0.0_alpha in Russian or http://wiki.acestream.org/wiki/index.php/AceStream_3.0.0_alpha/en in English. But nevertheless here is the PKGBUILD I used to replace old 2.1.6 version.
