Upstream doesn't sign most commits anymore, so GPG signature check is disabled. They still sign every tag. Packages in the official repos package tags. You can check signatures with the following commands:

$ git log --format=raw --show-signature main
$ git tag -v $(git tag)

edit: found my problem the key server it could be useful for other people.

The default port is an high port and your ISP might filter it out!

use :80 in the ubuntu one and it should work:

pal ➜  ~  gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 4CDE8575E547BF835FE15807A31B6BD72486CFD6

Hi! I updated linux-firmware-git to the 20260110 tag.

Changes:
- Pin source to tag 20260110
- Set pkgver to 20260110 (tag-based)
- Regenerate .SRCINFO

Patch (apply in AUR repo): https://gist.github.com/crmne/a4958cd66e3d22a02ccada1e27ee3a76

Please add parallel as dependency (makedepends?). It's missing

gunit commented on 2025-03-04 10:35 (UTC)

parallel is required but not checked.

Failing to build in a clean chroot with this error:

==> Starting package_linux-firmware-git()...

Anyone else?

seted as obsolete : missing dependancy : rdfind Need to find a way to avoid the use of --skippgpcheck
