I don't know why you are trying to install 'curl' when it is already installed. But if you do `pacman -Sy`, it should download 
the database file for home_gambas_master_ArchLinux.

You should be using "downloadcontent.opensuse.org" in those URLs instead of "download.opensuse.org".

Do you mean the ".gitlab-ci.yml" YAML file in the Gambas repository? That code compiles from source. It does not install from 
the binary files on OBS.
