@salfter: I've switched back to the private server of minipro (DavidGriffith: https://661.org/files/minipro/)

@salfter argh - that is annoying - if you look further down we have had the same problems before with minipro releases from gitlab...

just reopened issue: https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/minipro/-/issues/320#note_2667930886

PS: I still get the same sha256 as the one committed - strange...

salfter commented on 2025-08-04 16:39 (UTC)

The tarball has changed again; the sha256sum I get from the downloaded file is e41fb5a97c74a7e9c7d012e864a622096e819180bec504069e34664f6a360531.

If you use paru to manage this, you'll get constant issues w/ the checksum failing, because it thinks that the file from the previous version is the same as the new one. This is because you're saving the source archive with the same filename every time, which is a bad idea.

The fix is trivial, though, 1LOC - just remove the "${pkgname}.src.tgz::" prefix in the source:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index 0e3b12d..6daef67 100644

@uffe oh, you are right. I am sorry. Going to check minipro-git

uffe commented on 2024-10-07 13:45 (UTC)

@JPT48 this is a stable release it should and cannot change after the release. I guess that your post should have been at the AUR "minipro-git" bleeding-edge package ?

JPT48 commented on 2024-10-06 13:28 (UTC)

Hi there is a missing dependency: libb64

and the installer complains that algorithm.xml was missing. Looks like a recent change: https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/minipro/-/commit/fa88225b58e54b7edd131a3d78d47e6ffe14c0b6 thanks

CodeAsm commented on 2024-09-22 16:21 (UTC)

New release, but yes the 0.7.1 downloads and builds fine now. Thank you so much

uffe commented on 2024-09-19 13:47 (UTC)

@CodeAsm

I was not aware of the new file archive at 661.org (note in public/index.html was added yesterday)

There is some talk about the subject (and another issue) here: https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/minipro/-/issues/320

BTW: I've now switched the PKGBUILD to download from 661.org - should be effective now :-)
