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]

If you are having trouble importing the key, try the following command:

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

@invidian why are you not also maintaining lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs ? I do the believe that it would be best if the two ncurses-compat packages would be consistent.

invidian commented on 2020-04-21 12:01 (UTC)

I've added "--with-versioned-syms" to configure, *.a files are no longer part of the package and updated to latest version. It was installed for me for couple of weeks and I didn't experience any issues with it.

Regarding aarch64 architecture support, I'm not sure how/where to test it, so I'd rather not add it. Anty0, if you want, I guess you could co-maintain aarch64 support.

Anty0 commented on 2020-04-14 10:38 (UTC)

Could it be possible to add aarch64 architecture?

I can confirm the package builds succesfully and seems to be working properly.

(Might also work on other arm architectures.)

Well the public key worked here and the package built and installed. So I suspect your problem was the keyserver and nothing to do with the package or key. Perhaps you should try again?

For Signatures I use this

@mirh use this https://gist.githubusercontent.com/florianbegusch/88955f8a86ddd1e45b99f930d5a178f0/raw/e386d3057dc7dfaad627aef9226ec2e48cbeb641/PKGBUILD

mirh commented on 2020-03-23 12:06 (UTC)

I'd really like "--with-versioned-syms" to be added to configure, so that I don't get warning-spammed during compilation of other software.

Also, the last make has problems with spaces in path still.

diepfote commented on 2020-03-22 12:28 (UTC)

Updated PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO

Thank you in advance
