always-nightly has a number of differences to -nightly, not just the "always" part of it. But if this *is* the main point of difference, then I contest the claim that -nightly has "pretty good tracking". As a blatant example, right now it is on 62.0a1.201805*09*, while always-nightly downloads 62.0a1.201805*10*/./
I'm curious if you've actually read the PKGBUILD. Or tried using it. It uses pkgver to update properly, using the version string from https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozill... so even though the PKGBUILD hasn't changed since you first commented, it currently downloads: ==> Starting pkgver()... ==> Updated version: firefox-nightly 62.0a1.20180510-1 (I should note this is wrong too, but that's because curl gets a different, older file than my browser does. Also PGP "bad signature".)
There is also the fact that firefox nightly updates *twice a day*, not once, so the -nightly package is /never/ accurately tracking the latest.
Okay? The technical solution to that seems to be to add more granularity to the version extracted from said text file. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
