@sparr Thanks, that is a really strange issue. As you say, the commit hash hasn't changed and the updpkgsums tool from pacman-contrib hasn't been updated in quite a while that could have resulted in some change for generating the checksum. It's probably some dependency of these tools for generating the actual checksum (like makepkg) that has been updated but I haven't looked deep enough into this yet.

==> Validating source files with sha512sums... efficient-compression-tool ... Passed libpng ... Passed mozjpeg ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

I ran updpkgsums and it says the new sha512sum for mozjpeg is as follows:

1bdd9efa8d9c49a16cf5f2135ed29dc120bc1b31eec7130802d22b3d09bf10fe337f734b39b38e422bbe6e1719aca6744d49e2b435c2cb94cbf401d89086947a

I'm not sure how/why the checksum would have changed when the commit hash being retrieved hasn't changed.

Builds fine here and also fetches submodules. File it upstream, if you have persistent problems with the submodules.

Could you put: "efficient compression tool" or "efficient-compression-tool" in the description to make it easier to find the package?

Presently using the default search settings "ect" pulls in a lot of unrelated packages which makes it harder to find this package and this problem was brought up by a Discord user of a Discord server that i'm in - this is easily fixable by changing the search filters to look for an exact match though.

As @sekret wrote, this package is broken.

The directory also has the pkgver in it, which you'll need to add.

edit: Oh ok, that PKGBUILD is completely broken! Looks like you've changed quite a lot. Please test your PKGBUILDs on your machine before you upload them.

Thanks, done.

Please add cmake to makedepends.

wilbowma commented on 2019-06-30 04:18 (UTC)

  1. This is not out of date. https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool/releases
  2. Added git to make-depends
  3. Could not reproduce libtool errors.
