Just added a version number to the tar.gz, thanks for letting me know!

As established, this package will fail to build if there is an old download in the PKGBUILD's directory. This is because every ALVR release uses the same file name for downloads, leading makepkg to assume that the source is already downloaded. In cases like this it is correct to force the source to download to a file that includes the version number. The following diff fixes this PKGBUILD by doing this and should be applied by @AntiApple4life.

Thanks for fixing this!

It didn't for me. Checksum fails for alvr_launcher_linux.tar.gz. Yay -Scc doesn't fix it. After checking, the checksum is indeed wrong. Please fix.

hey yeah - that's did it.

AntiApple4life commented on 2025-02-09 22:20 (UTC)

maybe clear your yay cache yay -Scc

have the same problem: error md5 missmatch.

"Validating source files with md5sums...alvr_launcher_linux.tar.gz ... FAILED"

just downloaded directly from github, calculated md5 and its the same as in the build script "faafb49632dd7db35d62869d2aba9b2d".

no idea why its not working.

I was able to get it to build and install properly. It was failing for some reason with yay but doing the install manually fixed my issue. Sorry about bugging you!

AntiApple4life commented on 2025-02-08 14:57 (UTC)

I ran the PKGBUILD and got no errors, did you fetch the most recent one? also, can you send me the md5 sum for your download?

r05m commented on 2025-02-08 14:15 (UTC)

Looks like the MD5 sums may be incorrect with the latest build. Getting the following error when updating:

==> Validating source files with md5sums... alvr_launcher_linux.tar.gz ... FAILED alvr-launcher.png ... Passed alvr-launcher.desktop ... Passed ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
