Doesn't install the main curl-impersonate binary. I'd change

for executable in $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "curl_*" ! -name "*.*") to for executable in $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -executable)

Validating source_x86_64 files with md5sums... curl-impersonate_x86_64.tar.gz ... FAILED

Report: fixed, working fine now, thanks !

You are correct, the latest github binary includes firefox. That was not the case previously.

$ yay -Ss curl impersonate

aur/libcurl-impersonate-bin 1.0.0rc2-1 (+3 0.62)
    Special compilation of libcurl that makes it impersonate Firefox and Chrome

aur/curl-impersonate-firefox 1.0.0rc2-1 (+1 0.00)
    A special compilation of curl that makes it impersonate Firefox
aur/curl-impersonate-chrome 1:1.0.0rc2-1 (+3 0.14)
    A special compilation of curl that makes it impersonate Chrome
aur/curl-impersonate-bin 1.0.0rc2-1 (+3 0.08) (Installed)
    Special compilation of curl that makes it impersonate Firefox and Chrome

You might want to update these tags for the PKGBUILD "curl-impersonate-bin" though, they currently say,

Provides        : curl-impersonate-chrome
Conflicts With  : curl-impersonate-chrome
Replaces        : None

@m040601 It currently ships curl_firefox135 and curl_firefox133. What is wrong with the description? I think what you showed was not from the latest version.

EDIT: You probably missed my latest commit. Sorry for the untested updates and thanks for reporting.

  Description:   Special compilation of curl that makes it impersonate Firefox and Chrome

Please remember to correct that description.

"... Firefox and Chrome...".

Remove the "Firefox" word .

In the , current case, of this specific PKGBUILD, "curl-impersonate-bin", no Firefox impersonator is installed. Only Chrome impersonators .

No "fox" here,

$ pacman -Qql curl-impersonate-bin

The upstream binary release tar.gz on github,

$ wget https://github.com/lexiforest/curl-impersonate/releases/download/v1.0.0rc2/curl-impersonate-v1.0.0rc2.x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

It does ship a "curl-firefox" inside there,

$ tar tf curl-impersonate-v1.0.0rc2.x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

Please test the PKGBUILD on the local computer before uploading to the AUR.

Sorry for my late reply. Yes, as there are no checksums provided by upstream b2 should be favoured according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#Integrity . To prevent breaking AUR helpers I'd recommend removing the custom filenames from the sources. You can consider adding all archives to noextract=() and extract them manually in prepare() so they end up in a versioned directory in $srcdir so globs don't match leftovers from previous builds. Including armv7h makes things a bit messy, but something like this would work:

Similar changes also make sense for your other curl-impersonate-related packages.

Please remove all of the .bat files from /usr/bin.

Thanks for the heads up @Neurognostic. I have pushed a fix.

Please remove all of the .bat files from /usr/bin.

@hrdl You suggest using sha256 or b2 instead of md5sum or are you talking about something else I am not aware of?

In the current PKGBUILD we have:

md5sums_x86_64=('8d391919e0fdf618d1dc6ae6fa0f865c')
