This is a bug in makepkg, and patches have been submitted to fix it.

That being said, I advise using local:// instead of file://, consider the following errors

source=(file://test1.7z
        local://test2.7z)
==> Retrieving sources...
==> ERROR: Unknown download protocol: file
  -> Downloading test1.7z...
/usr/share/makepkg/source/file.sh: line 72: $'\E[1m': command not found
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading file://test1.7z

(This is technically a makepkg bug, it should abort right after "unknown download protocol".)

And creating the file using touch test1.7z to trick makepkg into thinking it does not need to be downloaded...

==> Retrieving sources...
  -> Found test1.7z
==> ERROR: test2.7z was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.

Note also that current versions of makepkg do provide a download agent for file:// to download via curl, so instead you now get:

==> Retrieving sources...
  -> Downloading test1.7z...
curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading file://test1.7z

makepkg doesn't automatically extract 7z. Perhaps needs a command added to extract it?

Thanks! And thanks so much for maintaining this package.

Oh, indeed, they appear to have silently uploaded a new archive. Thanks for notifying me. Since the binaries seem to have changed too, I am bumping pkgrel.

I'm getting a checksum mismatch for v6.4.1 as downloaded from their website. The sha512 I'm getting from their website is:

If you dont see text: sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq ttf)

This installs 700MB of fonts... it works.

I used the PKGBUILD from here to install the full version of Pianoteq Stage 6.11. Thanks for providing it! Pianoteq works flawlessly so far!

I don't have the resources to get pianoteq 6 to update or test it, so I'm disowning this package, and I will start a seperate pianoteq 5 repo, and keep maintaining that one.
