Arch Linux User Repository

Hi! Two relevant repos for flashbench are seem to be maintained better. I think you should consider to change to any of them. https://github.com/bradfa/flashbench https://github.com/JdenHartog/flashbench Regards

While Arch Linux chooses to support a pletora of filesystems and file system utilities in the "base" group, I do wonder why no flashbench or similar utility can be found on the 2016.12.01 CD/downloadable release. Without "erasure group size" information it is impossible to align partitions correctly when installing Arch on any kind of flash medium (USB stick, Compact Flash Card, SSD).

Please add

makedepends=('git')

The git url is no longer valid, but if changed to git+https://github.com/bradfa/flashbench.git the PKGBUILD works with no further changes.

Disowned, have your fun with it :)
