Hi,

first of all, thanks for your work. However, I do not really know what problem you want to solve:

  • Package installs fine using something like yay -S simple-signer
  • The package also creates a desktop file

[natalie@NatalieServer simple-signer]$ updpkgsums && makepkg -f --asdeps ==> Retrieving sources... ==> ERROR: /home/natalie/Projects/Packages/simple-signer/simple-signer-git is not a clone of https://github.com/schorschii/Simple-Signer.git Aborting... ==> ERROR: Failed to generate new checksums

Has resulted from the PKGBUILD you have supplied in this repository. You are also missing the simple-signer.desktop file within the repository. I went ahead and made one as follows: https://gitlab.acreetionos.org:2499/natalie/simple-signer.git . You are more than welcome to fork it off and take the source if you wish to do so.

The PKGBUILD and desktop file are in that repository.

I finally got the build fixed. The problem was the original PKGBUILD was trying to force a checkout of a specific tag that didn't match the repository's actual naming, which is why it kept throwing that "not a valid object name" error. I had to remove that tag pinning from the source line entirely so it just pulls the repository normally. I also had to set the checksum to SKIP since it’s a git package and the hash changes constantly, and I had to wipe the local build directory because it was stuck in a corrupted state from the failed attempts. It's building clean now, though the dependency list is still pretty sloppy—swig is listed as a runtime dependency instead of a makedepends, and it doesn't explicitly track the Python requirements, so I'll probably need to clean those up next to make sure it doesn't break at runtime.

It seems to work totally fine now. Once again, feel free to take the work. This is not about credit, just for the community to have something that compiles.
