This PKGBUILD verifies the authenticity of the source via PGP signatures which are not part of the Arch Linux keyring. In order to complete the process it is necessary to import the key(s) from the ‘validpgpkeys’ array into the user’s keyring before calling makepkg. There is a helpful article explaining this process by one of Arch Linux's developers located here: http://allanmcrae.com/2015/01/two-pgp-keyrings-for-package-management-in-arch-linux/

Instructions on importing keys from a keyserver and how to automate the retrieval process can be found in the Arch Linux wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Use_a_keyserver This article also contains helpful information describing the installation of GnuPG, its configuration and usage.

Execute the following to import keys using gpg:

gpg --recv-keys <KEYID - See 'validpgpkeys' array in PKGBUILD>

The PGP signature check can be skipped by passing --skippgpcheck to makepkg.

Consult the makepkg manual page for a full list of options. [https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/makepkg.8.html]

Ubuntu keyserver worked for me: gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C52048C0C0748FEE227D47A2702353E0F7E48EDB

@malacology I think we can continue discussing this in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1978673.

Error report

./tnt: /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5: version `NCURSES_5.7.20081102' not found (required by ./tnt)
./tnt: /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5: version `NCURSES_5.0.19991023' not found (required by ./tnt)

tnt is available at http://www.lillo.org.ar/phylogeny/tnt/

for compiling we need add key pgp: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 702353E0F7E48EDB

running

$ gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 702353E0F7E48EDB

throws

  gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure

same error is thrown when running makepkg or attempting to install via yay

@invidian you are most correct Sir, I should have stated the security implications of this approach. I will pull the comment off. Thank you for the guidance.

@3rly please see pinned comment from @WoefulDerelict. What you are suggesting is to disable the authenticity check of the built sources, which is a bad security practice and it shouldn't be copied without understanding it's implications (again explained and mentioned in @WoefulDerelict comment.)
