PSA: Upstream does not support building natively for ARM64, only cross-compiling. You can use mullvad-vpn-bin instead.

--> ALWAYS DO A CLEAN BUILD <--

This package will verify the signature of the git tag / commit. Developer keys are available here and instructions are here. See the PKGBUILD to determine which developer key you need.

Please do not create upstream issues about the AUR package, they do not support it.

Can't get it to work after one of the recent updates:

I believe there might be a memory leak while building from source. It consistently crashes around step 475/476 out of the 480 steps despite having 16GB of ram and using this machine full time for development. My pc completely locks up until my terminal crashes. I have tried fully uninstalling this package and reinstalling it (which separately solved the permission issues related to removing the Go cache).

Alright, doesn't build on Manjaro currently, because Manjaro repositories are still on rust 1.76 and the mullvad build process tries to build several things that require 1.77.

1.77 is included in Manjaro Testing Update from May 2nd, so it should be buildable soon.

you have 4 Sources, so this should look like this:

sha256sums=('SKIP'
            'SKIP'
            'ea35edffea2cbbb05586abce19581fdd9f133801ed47e6af30fa64a29c5cf116'
            '2262346cb57deb187fe32a88ccd873dab669598889269088e749197c6e88954f')

edit found it, now it is working. Thanks a lot! ofc you need to enter the same number or arguments. so I just skipped all

@johnybash, thank you for your quick reply. I have tried to make

sha256sums=('SKIP')

but now get the error

-> Found no-rpm.diff -> Found mullvad-vpn.sh ==> WARNING: Skipping verification of source file PGP signatures. ==> ERROR: Integrity checks (sha256) differ in size from the source array. -> error downloading sources: /home/.cache/yay/mullvad-vpn context: exit status 1 I am not familiarized with this syntax, guess something is wrong with my "SKIP" line ?

checksums from git commits are a relatively new thing if I remember correctly and manjaro is still on an old pacman version, so...

just replace the sha256 sums with "SKIP" and you should be fine.

Hello, I am quite new to this environment, but I am getting same issue

=> Validating source files with sha256sums... mullvadvpn-app ... NOT FOUND mullvadvpn-app-binaries ... NOT FOUND no-rpm.diff ... Passed mullvad-vpn.sh ... Passed ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! Failed to build mullvad-vpn

I have imported the pgp keys, but not sure how to solve this issue now ?

Version 2024.2-1 is not building for me on Manjaro, with the following errors:

==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
    mullvadvpn-app ... NOT FOUND
    mullvadvpn-app-binaries ... NOT FOUND
    no-rpm.diff ... Passed
    mullvad-vpn.sh ... Passed
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
Failed to build mullvad-vpn

I see that you added SHA checksums for those two git repos, are they maybe wrong or am I doing something wrong?

I know I need the developer keys and I have those. Previous builds always worked fine for me.

@waz94: It seems the build failed before the Go cache was removed. That's why I do it in the PKGBUILD as elevated permissions are required to remove the Go cache. You'll have to do it manually.

EDIT: Thanks for the quick reply, @yochananmarqos ! That fixed it and I appreciate you taking time to tell me the solution that I probably should have found via google.

Hello, I'm having some issues updating the package on my system.
