Hi proferk, I don't know what's the best way to do this, so I simply added it to the same package. Both binaries are available now.

Hey there, br-lemes. Can you also create a package for the "cmd_allowed" variant of kanata? Copied from the releases:

The binaries with the name cmd_allowed are conditionally compiled with the cmd action enabled.

Using the regular binaries, there is no way to get the cmd action to work. This action is restricted behind conditional compilation because I consider the action to be a security risk that should be explicitly opted into and completely forbidden by default.

The cmd_allowed variant is available as the "kanata_cmd_allowed" file on the project's releases.

Thank you jrop.

I always clean the build directory, so I had no idea what was happening. I fixed for kanata, but let LICENSE untouched. I think LICENSE is unlikely to change.

The reason why people keep getting validity check errors is that, when a new version is published, makepkg does not re-download kanata or LICENSE, because they are already in the current directory (from a previous package build). The following patch fixes it so that the files that makepkg looks for have the version number in them, and it will always download fresh files. Then the integrity check should succeed.
