@Xorg
isn't it the case that this pkgbuild will not download a new memtest86-usb.zip if it exists in the srcdest since the file isn't versioned?
so it will use the last version and extract from there. since you are now skipping the hash check it won't even fail. people will install the old version as the new version and never even know.
@dude and @Popkornium18: Ok, done. Thank you for your advice.
@Xorg Checksum should definitely be 'SKIP' in that case. There is no point in having a checksum verification if it is always failing anyways.
@Xorg maybe the sha512sum should be changed to 'SKIP' in that case, if it can't be reliably verified.
@ortango: It will not solve problem with sha512sums.
Problem is upstream file is not versioned (memtest86-usb.zip), so it breaks sha512sums every time the file is changed (e.g. when a new version is available).
In my opinion, it is an upstream issue. I miss the old URL like <https://www.passmark.com/ftp/>$_pkgbasename-usb-$pkgver.$_build.zip.
@Popkornium18
do you have the zip cached in your SRCDEST folder? if so, delete it and try again.
maybe this package should name the source file like "name-version.zip::theinternet.com/file.zip" to avoid this.
memtest86-usb.zip checksum still fails.
@intartso: Ok, fixed, thanks.
For me the sha512sum for memtest86-usb.zip fails.

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