May you update the sha256 of this AUR? The current AUR package doesn't seem to work with current update.

Shouldn't this package name end with "-bin"?

The icon is not working anymore as it can't be found. Either don't change the .desktop file or link/copy the icon to the icons directory:

install -dm755 "$pkgdir/usr/share/icons/"
ln -sv "/opt/$pkgname/icon.png" "$pkgdir/usr/share/icons/freedownloadmanager.png"

@robertomorrison Thanks for the fix. I just added it.

please consider adding StartupWMClass=fdm to the .desktop file, so the icon will show, even after opening the application.

I made a hook to fix the icon automatically after every update, based on @mmtech2012 comment:

# /etc/pacman.d/hooks/FDM.hook
[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Package
Target = freedownloadmanager

[Action]
Description = Fixing FMD icon
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/sed -i 's|^Icon=.*$|Icon=/opt/freedownloadmanager/icon.png|' /usr/share/applications/freedownloadmanager.desktop

Rizwan485 consider adding the command to the package() to fix it automatially without a hook

the sha256sums value is wrong and should be updated

==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

@rizwan486 The package is broken again. So I tried to build it manually but it still failed. I realized that on the PKGBUILD the correct tar command is commented out:

prepare() {
    mkdir -p "$pkgname-$pkgver"
    # tar -xvf data.tar.xz -C "$pkgname-$pkgver"
    tar --use-compress-program=unzstd -xvf data.tar.zst -C "$pkgname-$pkgver"
}

So I switched to this:

prepare() {
    mkdir -p "$pkgname-$pkgver"
    tar -xvf data.tar.xz -C "$pkgname-$pkgver"
    # tar --use-compress-program=unzstd -xvf data.tar.zst -C "$pkgname-$pkgver"
}

The checksums are also outdated so the build failed. So I fixed it with the following:

makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD && makepkg -si

@rizwan486 it now works
