Fixed issues reported by Renewings and SamWhited. I removed the sources and checksums for the LICENSE and README.md files. The original maintainer even wrote '# Because it can not be empty i guess' on the line above. I'm not sure why they thought the regular sources array couldn't be empty.

I apologize for the two week delay.

The readme hash mismatch seems to still be happening (or it's changed again).

Hang on, I fixed the issue. Turns out, the README.md file in the appimagetool repository (not the AppImageKit repository) must've been updated recently, so the SHA256 hash has changed.

The new hash is: ecd39cffabb5e0f62fd84031aaf0690697dc7fc84405c66bf843813cb59ef20e

Oh, and another thing. The "url" variable in the PKGBUILD file ends with a slash, while further down, the source URLs for the AppImage files have a slash after the "url" variable, technically making the link "..../releases/download//13/obsolete...". So I guess you can probably remove that slash at the end of the "url" variable also.

Trying to download gamemaker-beta-bin but this package seems to error out every time. Keeps on saying that an error has occurred for downloading the package. Noticed the GitHub link doesn't work anymore, so maybe that could be the reason why it's not downloading.

ahmubashshir: Thank you for the suggestion. This wasn't written by me; I didn't notice just how egregious of a mistake there was there. I think anyone updating to rel-2 will have to tell their package managers to --overwrite /usr/local/bin/appimagetool because the original function was actually installing it directly instead of putting it into the buildtree.

this is broken in build chroot.

package(){
  install -Dm 0755 obsolete-${_pkgname}-${arch}.AppImage "$pkgdir/usr/local/bin/appimagetool"
}

should fix the issue
