Hi everyone:

We're just a couple of days out from the closing of the substance3d site. From what I gather, that means it's the end of updates for this AUR package, unless there's a surprise build upstream before the end of the month.

If you wish to continue getting new versions of the Substance suite, I highly suggest picking it up on Steam, because that is the only place where Linux builds will be maintained anymore. You might want to wait until "Substance 3D Designer 2023" is available, though, as then you'll get more updates for your money.

In case, for whatever reason, anyone wants to continue using this (Allegorithmic) package, I'll see about finding a way for users to download the builds themselves after the site's closing (maybe archive.org would help?). I already downloaded every build for myself, so if all else fails, I could just re-upload individual builds on a case basis, but I can see that idea not being popular.

Also, quick reminder: download your license file! If you want to continue using this package after EOL, you'll need it to authenticate yourself. Log into the substance3d site and go to the "Licenses" tab to find it.

Update: Now that the Substance accounts are EOL, users can no longer access their accounts, but it's still possible to redownload your old perpetual license keys. Adobe explains how in their Substance account end-of-life FAQ. As for downloading packages, I have bad news and good news. Bad news: I don't think I'll be publishing the build archive I've been working on. Between redirecting users, potential licensing issues, and security implications, it's pretty much a logistical nightmare. Good news: The existing official download links still work, so people can continue downloading the builds as long as they have the links. (No guarantees these AUR packages will stay up forever, though, sorry.)

hi @koloved I just updated the packages.

I'm not using substance anymore so I often don't realize there's an update. But if you flag it I'll take care of it.

How to update to 2018,3?

The checksum for substance-designer.desktop is outdated. The current checksum is c1f601250bbcd87f3e1016cdc73206842fc98802257286fba7f68df85570db41

@polarathene Updated to the latest version, should be all good now. We can't use the link that always points to the latest version, since that will change over time (and possibly break things in the wrapper script), but the current package is fixed.

md5sum for the latest download link needs to be updated as build fails: ==> Validating source files with md5sums... latest?platform=lin-rpm&download=1 ... FAILED substance-designer-icon.png ... Passed substance-designer.desktop ... Passed substance-designer ... Passed ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! Replace: 584f363dd46f94da8b52a73f347ba9bc With f0d615792b9e7cdf355439a07baefa68 Actual filename downloaded at present: Substance_Designer-2017.1.2-403-linux-x64-standard-full.rpm (via manual download, pkgbuild names it 'latest?platform=lin-rpm&download=1')

I've updated this package to 6.0.3 over at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/substance-designer-6/ @spacepluk if you want to keep maintaining this package, I'll delete this one. Although Designer 5 is still supported, so it may not be a bad idea to just keep it as a separate package, too.
