Thanks @empire. I have amended the optdepends as suggested. AUR accepted the git push without requiring a later version number. In the more general sense of updating checksums, most of the time it's genuinely a new upstream version (ie with a new version number) so it's reasonable to update the PKGBUILD reported version in such cases.

I'm not sure if it's still possible but before the AUR moved git, you used to be able to update an AUR package without bumping the pkgrel/pkgver. That could be one way to update the checksums without causing everyone to download it again.

Also, if you want to skip the download, you can check in your script if the file has been updated with curl --head $url.

For anyone wanting to get sound working again, installing ffmpeg-compat-55 from AUR works for me. You might want to add it to optdepends.

hash check failed again

Usually IB release a new downloadable package that has a new version number. I have a daily script that fetches the download, runs it to determine the version number, then updates this package if the version number changes. This has worked pretty reliably for around six years.

Occasionally IB change the download but do not bump the version number. They've now done this three times for 978.1g. Instead of me continually manually changing the PKGBUILD to accommodate this, I suggest you just edit it to ignore the hash. When IB release a version after 978.1g with a little luck they'll get back to usual with a version number bump each time they change the download.

FYI the script does not update the PKGBUILD pkgrel when it detects a new download with the same version as that would cause those relying on automatic updates to upgrade to a "new" version when in fact it's just a workaround to accommodate IB's repackaging operations.

The real solution would be to have a versioned URL somewhere, but from a licensing perspective I do not believe we can host a copy elsewhere.

@benalexau: The AUR version of TWS seems to be different from the official Linux installer package: The desktop items are not the same, and more importantly, the start login screens seems to be very different optically and functionally and seems to be outdated in the AUR version. For example, it is not possible to switch between 'STABLE', 'LATEST', and 'BETA', and the 'IBKR Light/Pro' icon is still missing in the AUR version. Being not able to switch between editions, I am currently forced to fall back to the manual installer.
