Ahoj,

you need to install the license text into /usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/: 

curl-impersonate E: Uncommon license identifiers such as 'MIT' require license files below /usr/share/licenses/curl-impersonate/ or switching to common license identifiers. Found 0/1 required license files.

Also, there are broken symlinks: 

curl-impersonate E: Symlink (usr/lib/curl-impersonate-chrome.so) points to non-existing /usr/lib/curl-impersonate.so.4.8.0
curl-impersonate E: Symlink (usr/lib/curl-impersonate-chrome.so.4) points to non-existing /usr/lib/curl-impersonate.so.4.8.0

(I checked after installation: /usr/lib/curl-impersonate-chrome.so and /usr/lib/curl-impersonate-chrome.so.4 are indeed broken.)

namcap reports on missing dependencies: 

curl-impersonate E: Dependency zstd detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libzstd.so.1'] needed in files ['usr/lib/libcurl-impersonate.so.4.8.0', 'usr/bin/curl-impersonate'])
curl-impersonate E: Dependency libidn2 detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libidn2.so.0'] needed in files ['usr/lib/libcurl-impersonate.so.4.8.0', 'usr/bin/curl-impersonate'])
curl-impersonate E: Dependency rtmpdump detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/librtmp.so.1'] needed in files ['usr/lib/libcurl-impersonate.so.4.8.0', 'usr/bin/curl-impersonate'])

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

Please make the downloaded source filename version specific.
e.g., change the source entry to:
"curl-impersonate-${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://github.com/lexiforest/curl-impersonate/archive/refs/tags/v${pkgver}.tar.gz"

Reason: Otherwise makepkg still finds the old file, and checksum verification fails.

Regards!

This package downloads stuff in build(). This should not happen.
If you cannot make this download happening through the source array, try to move it to prepare() so that build() can run in an offline environment:

I think you should add libcurl-impersonate-chrome and libcurl-impersonate-firefox to the provides. The old packages provided those and some existing packages (e.g. python-curl-cffi) depend on them.

@mattf you should have increased the pkgrel number when you committed bartus' fix. Without doing so users won't see the new PKGBUILD.

pkgrel needs to be increased whenever pkgver is kept the same (upstream did not change) but you made changes that affect package. Please take a read at man PKGBUILD.

(And thanks for the new package!)

Won't build against gcc>=15 due to deprecated <ciso646> header in boringsll>gtest

Fix: add gcc14 to makedepends[] and export CC=gcc-14 CXX=g++-14 in build() function.
