Might need to put the "updates itself" message in bold. Looks like someone once again flagged this package as out of date.

Looks like the guys over at NixOS are having the same problem with packaging this software.

@Derson5: Thanks for keeping this package alive!

Question: The latest update seems to pixelate the UI font. I tried running the application with JDK11 and JDK17. Does someone know how to fix this?

Why did you remove the dependency on hicolor-icon-theme, when you're still installing icons to the theme's directory?

@Derson5 My point is instead of relying on jdownloader updater, why not just use the jar directly as you should for an AUR package.

@miten, dude we now use this exactly jar package in this AUR package. :P This is line from function.sh that our PKGBUILD use:

wget -O JDownloader.jar http://installer.jdownloader.org/JDownloader.jar

We don't use Linux version, because it's with graphical installer and make everything harder to do, so this jar version is more cleaner option.

The multi-os jar (without installer) is available and there is also build from source option.

I changed unzip dependency for libarchive, as it support many archive formats, not only zip so Archive Extractor addon can extract now all archive formats, that libarchive supports (zip, tar.gz, 7zip, rar etc.). And fixed permission for /opt/Jdownloader folder.

I agree with @yochananmarqos. I adopt it, but things will be the same as now are (no -bin extension etc), so don't flag this package as outdated, please.

@MarsSeed: Upstream provides a .sh graphical installer hosted on MEGA. It installs in one's home directory, so really it has no business being in the AUR at all.

The source code is not available, therefore there's no reason to use the -bin extension.

This is not a proper AUR package. Doesn't contain JDownloader, only its installer script which, when executed after package installation, downloads and installs JDownloader from the server.

Please change PKGBUILD to link to actual JDownloader source or binary .jar file, so that the AUR helper / makepkg can download the actual application and package it inside the created Pacman package.

In case your PKGBUILD does not use source but only a pre-built binary, you should rename this AUR package to: jdownloader2-bin.
