Adding an additional comment in support of what has already been stated. The package builds and functions fine with the webkit2gtk build dependency modified to webkit2gtk-4.1. As provided it runs for hours on my system trying to build webkit2gtk from scratch as part of an update.

webkit2gtk results in the installation of a lot of extra packages as it is now an AUR package requiring another build. I believe Arch now uses webkit2gtk-4.1 as its package name. Could this get updated to depend on that instead? It seems to be working with that change.

I removed the webkit2gtk requirement line from both PGKBUILD and .SRCINFO, rebuilt and it installs and runs perfectly fine without the AUR version of webkit2gtk. Either it's able to utilize the 4.1 extra package webkit2gtk or it's not needed at all.

webkit2gtk is not a required dependency, I just removed it and openaudible runs fine without it installed.

webkit2gtk from the AUR requires a VERY LONG build from source on my machine. It is not acceptable to use the "webkit2gtk-4.1" package ?

For some reason we replaced the SHA512 with an SHA256. Will fix for today's release 2/25/26.

It looks like the recent change that set sha512sums=('_OA_SHA512SUM_') as the sha512sums has broken my ability to update this package. Prior to 4.7.2, the sha512sums had an actual hash value. I'm guessing this new value is what is causing the failure.

The exact error I'm seeing with this issue is:

==> Validating source files with sha512sums...
    OpenAudible_4.7.3_x86_64.deb ... FAILED
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
error: failed to download sources for 'openaudible-bin-4.7.3-1': 
error: packages failed to build: openaudible-bin-4.7.3-1

Based on the latest release on Github, the real sha 512 value for version 4.7.3-1 should probably be "00bbda02ef65ba651604abb492366747134afbddbeed4a7604e3e1a3a7c8af8db590ab28d48fab2bdc0ee4d6df5352c88ad919fdc27ecfe7288ff1c5a99c0797"

Hello. OpenAudible_4.6.4_x86_64.deb does not exists anymode, recent update is release 4.6.5

Sorry for the delay pushing. Had a github SSL certificate issue.

Exoro, my .SRCINFO is built by automation, so I'm not sure changing the source to use variables is too critical -- but not sure why you have the url and openaudible.desktop in parens.

source=("https://github.com/openaudible/openaudible/releases/download/v"$pkgver"/OpenAudible_"$pkgver"_x86_64.deb" "openaudible.desktop")

fyi you can include $pkgver in the "source" line of the PKGBUILD to make it less redundant when you go to update.

Something like: source=("https://github.com/openaudible/openaudible/releases/download/v"$pkgver"/OpenAudible_"$pkgver"_x86_64.deb" "openaudible.desktop")
