AUR (with command line tools) fail to show new version available on AUR (internet)

@Tistus

I can get the update somewhere else? Is it what you suggest?

If you read what I sent, yes, there is like a dozen ways to get Discord, I posted a few

@Discord is out of date again.. when will we be able to update?

Install it locally in your Home so you can do the automatic update.
Use the AUR.
Use Flatpak.
Use Snap.
Use the workaround to change the version in the config file.
Use your web browser.
Use Discord Canary (I guess).
Use unofficial clients.

The simple way is to download it directly from Discord, which does not only provide a DEB package, but also a TAR file that you can decompress in your Home folder where you want. Then you can run Discord executable from there, end of story.

@omano

to install locally, download the compressed archive on their website, extract the Discord folder somewhere in your home, and you can start Discord executable directly, or you can also modifiy the Discord.desktop file to change the line Exec= to point to where you extracted it (you can also modify the Icon= line to point to Discord icon in the local installation folder), and move the Discord.dektop file to ~/.local/share/applications/ so it is available in your Application launcher (in theory). Then you could manually extract new update when needed over this local installation. At this point if it works you can also uninstall Discord from the package manager (or keep it and use it, and only use the local installation as a fallback when it doesn’t update quick enough on the distribution package).

Also there is always some good info in the Arch Wiki Discord - ArchWiki
