Arch Linux User Repository

As you probably know, the <https://www.memtest86.com/downloads/memtest86-usb.zip> URL is likely to cause problems, like this error:

==> Validating source files with sha512sums...
    memtest86-efi-8.2.zip ... FAILED

To avoid this problem, I prefer to reupload memtest86-usb.zip archive somewhere else, where this kind of breakage will not appear.

I can't upload this archive on AUR directly (archive is 8 MB but AUR accepts 250 KiB maximum), so I decide to put this archive on my Git repository to avoid future breakages.

I hope it suits you.

Fixed. Bump to 7.1 and use HTTP instead HTTPS.

Following commit added https: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/PKGBUILD?h=memtest86-efi&id=705fb5c1c1769fd0d53aa097dde36c3fc83449c9 According to jamesan comment, I'd revert the commit to use the working http method until it gets fixed on their server. I tried to play around and see if it works, but makepkg fails (md5 changed). When extracting memtest86-7.0.iso.tar.gz, I get Memtest86-7.1.iso. md5 for memtest86-7.0.iso.tar.gz is the same as memtest86-7.1.iso.tar.gz I managed to fix it by upgrading to 7.1 at the same time: git revert 705fb5c1c1769fd0d53aa097dde36c3fc83449c9 + following patch: diff --git a/.SRCINFO b/.SRCINFO index 9668a77..5caeb36 100644 --- a/.SRCINFO +++ b/.SRCINFO @@ -1,8 +1,6 @@ -# Generated by mksrcinfo v8 -# Wed Jul 27 18:04:51 UTC 2016 pkgbase = memtest86-efi pkgdesc = A free, thorough, stand alone memory test as an EFI application - pkgver = 7.0 + pkgver = 7.1 pkgrel = 1 url = http://www.memtest86.com install = memtest86-efi.install @@ -14,12 +12,12 @@ pkgbase = memtest86-efi optdepends = efibootmgr: to add a new EFI boot entry optdepends = grub: to add MemTest86 entry in GRUB2 menu backup = etc/memtest86-efi/memtest86-efi.conf - source = memtest86-7.0.iso.tar.gz::http://www.memtest86.com/downloads/memtest86-iso.tar.gz + source = memtest86-7.1.iso.tar.gz::http://www.memtest86.com/downloads/memtest86-iso.tar.gz source = memtest86-efi source = memtest86-efi.conf source = grub.conf source = systemd-boot.conf - md5sums = c709d3147295defc50e3f2b0e779a88e + md5sums = ed0ffd04d2d9ce72fc2a9fd871ebdd98 md5sums = 6d78d97e54e9feb75e3b1f835297ffd8 md5sums = 6c096df3f55baf3e27c3bd605a418aa2 md5sums = f848ecf41edb2d95f469ff2251bcfa4a diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD index 4fce194..407fb13 100644 --- a/PKGBUILD +++ b/PKGBUILD @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ _pkgbasename=memtest86 pkgname=$_pkgbasename-efi -pkgver=7.0 +pkgver=7.1 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A free, thorough, stand alone memory test as an EFI application" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ source=("$_pkgbasename-$pkgver.iso.tar.gz::http://www.memtest86.com/downloads/$_ "memtest86-efi.conf" "grub.conf" "systemd-boot.conf") -md5sums=('c709d3147295defc50e3f2b0e779a88e' +md5sums=('ed0ffd04d2d9ce72fc2a9fd871ebdd98' '6d78d97e54e9feb75e3b1f835297ffd8' '6c096df3f55baf3e27c3bd605a418aa2' 'f848ecf41edb2d95f469ff2251bcfa4a'

The HTTPS URL to the ISO tarball no longer works. The non-secure HTTP URL works though: http://www.memtest86.com/downloads/memtest86-iso.tar.gz.

Odd, I'm getting stuck at "Testing multiprocessor support" when booting up with rEFInd.

Change the PKGBUILD to use http instead of https. Looks like they disabled their https server... Weird. Anyway I guess it has to be switched back.

When trying to download I receive curl: (35) error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

@samcv: Yes, because the tarball is not versionned... It's updated, and it uses HTTPS now, thank you.

When I download http://www.memtest86.com/downloads/memtest86-iso.tar.gz I get an md5sum of c709d3147295defc50e3f2b0e779a88e not 87c0fb1338183b5eaf11096d1d2f0475 as is listed in the PKGBUILD. Edit: Looks like it is downloading version 7.0. If you change pkgver=7.0 and pkgrev=0 it works fine. In addition would you change the source of the file to use 'https'? The server supports it and it would be nice for peace of mind. Thanks!

@bryanparadis: Patched, thank you.
