For anyone else that tries to install proot using rua using the new recipe, the tests don't pass due to the build isolation. You'll need to use another tool, or use makepkg directly

@eternalfloof yeah I had the url noted for a change - fyi I've reached out to the care maintainer to see if this can be combined into one package:

https://github.com/envolution/aur/blob/main/abandoned/proot/PKGBUILD

I'll give him a bit more time before making more changes to this version - I did include your suggestion on the 394 patch

@envolution

Thanks for taking on the effort. I have a couple of cleanup suggestions. Instead of taking your 397 patch, can you use the 394 one? It's better for verification not to reference a closed PR https://github.com/proot-me/proot/pull/394.patch

Second, since the github user was renamed (and thus redirected on the github side) to proot-me, can you change the source to git+https://github.com/proot-me/proot.git#commit=5f780cba57ce7ce557a389e1572e0d30026fcbca instead of cedric-vincent? It makes validating this a lot easier (and not having to worry about random forks being built)

I do not use this package anymore, therefore am dropping it.

Sorry, I meant to comment that on the proot-git package. This package builds fine

@glow @pdizzle the error is now fixed

==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Error downloading sources: proot

Validity check is incorrect... Had to use pdizzle's pkgbuild and manually install it.

the sha1sum was failing for me and some directories were not correct. I was able to get it to build with this pkgbuild:

https://gist.github.com/pm0u/afe618f7db3f17e5b5afce9e3e777d94

changes lines 4,16,20

however, i am installing this as a dep for xampp and i get a failure signal 11 during build that i cannot get past
