Good Day Folks,
I am running Arch and I recently read that installing programs from the AUR can be dodgy, due to configuration settings of the person performing the packaging.
Anyway, I installed Pale Moon on Arch with the pminstaller. Now I want to do the same for Basilisk.
What do you suggest I do? Install from AUR/extract the zip file or wait for a ./binsaller?
Thank You for reading

if the aur ends in -bin that is a repack of our binary but not sure they are keeping it updated.

Re: Install Basilisk on Arch
There is a repack on AUR, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/basilisk-bin/ and it's updated, I checked. There's also one source package for the ones wanting to compile it https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/basilisk/ it seems to be on reasonably recent commit. fatboy, please note that you should check the PKGBUILD yourself before building / packaging any AUR package, as you probably should know.New Tobin Paradigm wrote:Wait..

To avoid any of that, download the tarball and extract it somewhere in your home directory, then execute the binary file basilisk and happy testing!
