@taivlam It seems the SHA256 digests are indeed for the CLI binaries:

87b30d085e049e24e0d88bc70c1bd4685a2769e6de0ecbe6759b6311c39a86e0  v6.3.2/simplex-chat-ubuntu-20_04-x86-64
0677adaac345e3a0f7f0eee978856de23f963e5778c935b16b5069a658971728  v6.3.2/simplex-chat-ubuntu-22_04-x86-64

So I have included the _sha256sums{,.asc} files and created a sha256sums=(…) array. This way the _sha256sums file will be verified, and it will be up to the user to check that the SHA256 digest used in the PKGBUILD file is the same as the one found in the _sha256sum file.

@taivlam: Thanks for the suggestion. I welcome pull-requests/diffs to PKGBUILD.

Edit: the GPG verification is only for the Ubuntu tarball archives and not the DEB binaries.

Could you add GPG signature verification? The latest release v6.3.2 has released the GPG signatures (of the SHA256 checksums) and GPG public keys from both teams of SimpleX and Flux: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/releases/tag/v6.3.2

@Zame Thanks for notifying nme. It seems upstream has removed the [erratic] “-fdroid” from the download URL overnight. I have updated URL and checksums, and it works here. Please try again.

Update error : curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

@hotice

  1. Getting rid of openssl-1.1 is not up to me. The PKGBUILD downloads a precompiled binary over from Microsoft GitHub. That binary requires libcrypto.so.1.1, which is provided by openssl-1.1. If you want to get rid of this old OpenSSL library, you should help the authors instead. See e.g. https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues/1274

2.-4. Thanks, but I like the way the PKGBUILD looks now.

@kseistrup

  1. Telegram got rid of openssl-1.1 recently, please do the same!
  2. _pkgname='simplex-chat' pkgname="${_pkgname}-bin"
  3. provides=("${_pkgname}") conflicts=("${_pkgname}" "${_pkgname}-git")
  4. Redundancy: leave either sha512sums or b2sums.

@TechXero

Thanks. SimpleX sometimes report “bad chat command” if it receives something that it thinks is not a part of the text you want to send to a chat partner. It then thinks it is a chat command and complains if it doesn't understand.

I am pretty sure it is not an issue with the packaging here, but let's see what upstream has to say.

@kseistrup
