@ntfc I was going to go the other way (update to 9.0.1 instead of reverting back to 8.11.1).

P.S. postman are pretty bad at updating their release notes page (even after a new version is out).

If you want to revert to any previous version you can do so by cloning the aur repo and changing the version in the PKGBUILD file and using makepkg to build it (it will download and install that version for you). E.g.:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/postman-bin.git
cd postman-bin

Edit the PKGBUILD file with whatever editor you like: edit line 4 to be pkgver=8.11.1 or whatever version you like, then save and exit out of the editor and run

updpkgsums
makepkg -sif

updpkgsums will download the file and update sha for file in PKGBUILD so it will install with makepkg

@claudiodangelis The Postman creators have responded with a static URL scheme. Static version links looks like this https://dl.pstmn.io/download/version/4.9.3/linux64, see https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/2461.

@agostonbarna: a desktop file has been added, thanks for the headsup. @yurivecchi: everything should be OK now.

@claudiodangelis: Could you include a desktop file? Something like this (/usr/share/applications/postman.desktop): [Desktop Entry] Name=Postman Comment=Postman GenericName=Postman Exec=postman %U Icon=/opt/postman/resources/app/assets/icon.png Terminal=false Type=Application StartupNotify=true Categories=Development;Utility; StartupWMClass=postman

@atriix: many thanks for the headsup, the downloaded filename is now unique for each version.

atriix commented on 2016-11-10 20:05 (UTC)

@jeffska I believe this is because the download don't change name per version, ie the file is always called `linux?arch=64`. So if your aur client cache things it won't download the new version. This hit me just now with pacaur. @claudiodangelis Please name the download so it is unique with each version. ie set the source to something along these lines. source=("Postman-linux-x64-${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://dl.pstmn.io/download/latest/linux?arch=64")

Thanks. Not sure why the version I downloaded from the browser _after_ makepkg failed would have been the older version. But such are the strange ways of the internet.

claudiodangelis commented on 2016-10-27 22:21 (UTC)

@jeffska, @yayo56: the problem is that the URL points to the latest available release, it does not point to a specific version, so when there is a new release, the URL destination changes and consequentially the checksum validation fails. As of this writing the latest version is 4.8.1, although it was 4.8.0 when I packaged it. I have already reached out to Postman support to see if a list of direct links is available. Thanks for your patience.

jeffska commented on 2016-10-27 22:16 (UTC)

Having the same problem as @yayo56. Downloading the file from a browser shows matching MD5 in the PKGBUILD. The download from makepkg via curl shows a different file size and MD5. Not sure what's happening here.
