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.

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.

Option 3) during the install is broken for me. It seems the /etc/memtest86-efi/grub.conf is incorrect. I have fixed it myself by wrapping the content in cat << EOF --snip-- EOF http://pastebin.com/cDj7f2B6

@zman0900: Yes, sorry, in latest patch, I have changed how --status works, but I have forgotten to change help message. If MemTest86 is installed, it displays "MemTest86 is installed on your system with following parameters:" in bold. Don't worry about exit status, it is used in memtest86-efi.install file. It returns 1 if not installed (e.g. error), or 0 if installed. I have modified help now.

Help says "-s, --status Return status (1 if installed, else 0)", but when I run that it returns 0 even though it is already installed for systemd-boot.

@Xorg: thank you again, good work!
