From what I can see, the source and checksum arrays are botched in PKGBUILD
.
According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD a) _source_x86_64
should be source_x86_64
(no prepended underscore), and b) If an architecture-specific array is specified, then there must be a corresponding checksum array - preferably sha256sums_x86_64
, although md5sums_x86_64
should suffice
Additionally, I suspect because of the first point above, the actual AppImage is never downloaded. It looks like (apart from a missing checksum for gdlauncher.desktop
; see below) that both of these issues did not exist in v0.12.1-1
of this package (i.e. last change broke it). This is corroborated as the AppImage file is now missing from .SRCINFO
.
From a practical standpoint, I cannot build this as it stands as the checksum for gdlauncher.desktop
is not valid (also note that the AppImage file is not retrieved):
==> Retrieving sources...
-> Found gdlauncher.desktop
==> Validating source files with md5sums...
gdlauncher.desktop ... FAILED
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
==> ERROR: Could not download sources.

Note: as of Septermber 10th, 2020, this package will become depreciated. This package will still install but we advise switching over to the gdlauncher-bin package which is identicaly to this one except it fetches a ZIP file instead of an AppImage. Additionally you can use the gdlauncher package for source compilation of the version or gdlauncher-git for bleeding edge latest from source code compilation.

Note: as of May 4th, 2020, this package will now start shipping the
next
branch instead ofmaster
branch. We believe that this branch is stable enough to start using on this package.
