From official GNOME docs:

"Attention: PyGTK 2.24 will be the last release in the PyGTK series and will support the full GTK-2-24 API. PyGTK should not be used for new projects and existing PyGTK applications are recommended to be ported to PyGObject. See here for more information."

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGTK/WhatsNew224

Please stop asking me to update this package. I only "keep" it, so that it is not messed with by others, as some older applications still rely on it to function.

Thank you.

@zman0900 I think the point is that it is unlikely that someone maliciously replaces the patches but does not modify the PKGBUILD since they are downloaded as a bundle. Silent corruption should be caught when you clone the git repository, but is probably technically a possibility. Ideally the patches and the PKGBUILD would be signed, but in practice, the Arch way is buyer beware. You should be reading the PKGBUILD and associated files and make sure you know what they are doing.

How so? Without them, file integrity is not checked. Patches could be silently corrupted or maliciously replaced and it would go unnoticed.

ragouel commented on 2020-05-18 23:43 (UTC)

@zman0900 because they are redundant.

Why are checksums skipped on the patch files?

What's the actual command you ran?

What Operating System are you using ?

I just get error: missing package metadata When trying to install this.

Hmm, this could be because gitlab generated patches have the server's running git version embedded in the footer, and they've updated their server. Kind of silly... :(

If the current version of the patch is git added to the AUR repository it should continue to work with no modifications to the PKGBUILD, and be proof against this in the future.

@fdo10 : in order to compile, you need to : sha512sum 4aaa48eb80c6802aec6d03e5695d2a0ff20e0fc2.patch if you decide to trust it, and edit the PKGBUILD file accordingly (replace the 2nd "sha512sums") Hope it helps. sp
