Before running makepkg, you must do this (as normal user):

$ gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys torbrowser@torproject.org

If you want to update tor-browser from AUR without AUR helpers you can run in a terminal:

$ tor-browser -u

@aminvakil Fair point.

bash is part of base. Mentioning it explicitly in depends is unnecessary imho.

~/.local/opt/tor-browser is fine by me.

It's not completely standard, but I've also seen it around, and is basically a "per-user /opt".

Using .cache is also valid IMHO, and this case is slightly outside of what any spec or standard has explicitly considered.

A downside of ~/.local/opt is that there's no way to override it, whereas .cache is actually $XDG_CACHE_HOME.

.config is a bad choice though; that's a directory that'll frequently get backed up (or even versioned by many), and dumping all of the browser's runtime in there sounds problematic.

@class101

I don’t think it was a great idea to create opt/ inside .local since it is not a standard location

This is the old debate about the ~/.local directory...

Is ~/.local/bin standard? The XDG mentions it ("User-specific executable files may be stored in $HOME/.local/bin").

What about ~/.local/lib? The XDG does not mention it, but it is the natural result of installing a library instead of a program locally via ./configure --prefix="$HOME/.local" && make && make install – the same command that would install a program under the ~/.local/bin path mentioned by the XDG.

For me this package's natural path is ~/.local/opt: it satisfies the requirements for opt (it is completely self-contained in one single directory) and it satisfies the requirements for ~/.local (it is a user installation).

But given the huge user base of this package, I would say that the debate has just started.

Application creates their folders in

.local .config .cache

Technically we do create our folder under .local.

I don’t think it was a great idea to create opt/ inside .local since it is not a standard location, only you will use the redondant opt folder

In my opinion it is not necessary to reinvent the wheel as Steam does so badly.

Application creates their folders in

.local .config .cache

@whynothugo

That is a very good idea. I moved the user copy of Tor Browser from ~/.tor-browser to ~/.local/opt/tor-browser.

Is it possible to use some other directory instead of ~/.tor-browser? I'd like to move this out of the way to somewhere like ~/.cache/tor-browser.

any is not correct for this package, as that implies that the same package runs on all architecture. That’s not the case for this, as it includes native binaries.
