@SandaruKasa Thanks! Applied. Will undo when upstream fixes the availability issue or adds mirrors to their build.

Hey! There's been a problem lately with tests.stockfishchess.org (which is used for retrieving NNUE files) being down or returning 500: https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/4140 https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/4149

Here's a patch with a (temporary?) workaround for the issue: https://pastebin.com/raw/Q9XssaS9

@apetresc Thank you for correcting me; So if the package version changes would the PKGBUILD also be changed unless stated otherwise?

apetresc commented on 2021-08-24 13:39 (UTC)

@Peter2469 Not exactly; if Stockfish 15 comes out then the package version changes, and pkgrel goes back down to 1. pkgrel is meant to increment for non-upstream changes within a release (for things like fixing PKGBUILDs).

@bulletmark, That is true I would assume if pkgrel gets bumped it is if Stockfish 15 comes out?

bulletmark commented on 2021-08-24 04:12 (UTC)

@Peter2469, yes I know there would be others. To be clear, I didn't bump the pkgrel because there is no point forcing all existing users to see an update (e.g via yay) when none of them are aarch64 users. This change only affects new aarch64 users, who are yet to install it.

@bulletmark, I have tested it and can confirm that it works fine; there would be many other people like me with the pinephone or devices with the same architecture so adding the option may be an idea but understandable at this current circumstance.

@Peter2469, I added that change and I'll have to trust it works. Did not change the pkgrel because only affects you. Please confirm ok.

Hello, I edited the PKGBUILD to add support to aarch64 which my pinephone uses. I tried to do armv8-a which is the microarchitecture but it didn't want to build.

The arch would support "aarch64" and you just need to add 2 lines

elif [[ "$CARCH" == "aarch64" ]]; then
    _arch=armv8
