Ok, I've made a dumb fix and hopefully will remove it in the next release if there are no more problems

This package seems to be broken again, the newly updated linux ZIP file seems to have nested directories, and I need to modify the PKGBUILD, replacing this line:
cp -r mercury_${pkgver}_linux_x64/mercury/ "$pkgdir"/opt/$_pkgname
with:
cp -r mercury_${pkgver}_linux_x64/mercury_${pkgver}_linux_x64/mercury/ "$pkgdir"/opt/$_pkgname
Other than that, a bunch of executables don't have the executable bit set anymore, so I have to go in and set them manually (mercury, mercury-bin, glxtest, vaapitest).

symbolic links in /usr/bin/ are broken in v115.4.0 update. package build in pkg folder extracts to mercury_115.3.0_linux_x64 folder

@digital_mystik I guess you should ask the developer to provide checksums. Because I don't see much sense adding checksums myself, since file downloaded on my machine can be corrupted or compromised. Also it's easier to bump versions without checksums for me.

hello, any chance of adding the archive checksum to the PKGBUILD? thanks

After nearly three months, the aforementioned security vulnerability still has not been resolved. I strongly recommend anyone still using this browser switch to something else.
To protect any remaining users, this package has been disabled and redirects to
