Yep, checksum error

Looks like the checksum changed again.

Yes, you do still need to update the checksum, that's true in any case. The advantage of the approach I'm mentioning below is that if a user has already downloaded the tarball for say 4.18, then when you bump both pkgrel and srcrel, they won't have to manually delete the tarball to convince makepkg to download it again (instead of failing the checksum).

@Corax, thank you for your suggestion. I don't think upstream actually doing a new release, instead it seems that the source files are "repacked" and with new dates etc of files inside the checksum changes. Also I don't see the benefit of the suggestion because the checksum still needs to be updated in PKGBUILD. Actually it is good that it fails, even if it is annoying. Then when this happens it can be checked that nothing malicious is going on. The advice is to not use the AUR as a "normal" trusted repository with an AUR helper. So, sorry I will not implement this.

Hi! I'm the maintainer of the xnviewmp AUR packages and I've recently noticed that xnviewmp and svtplay-dl have something in common: in both cases the maintainers think it's a good idea to make a new release (changing the hash) without actually announcing it or bumping the version... In xnviewmp I tried to make it less painful to users a while back by introducing $srcrel, which I bump along with $pkgrel every time the hash changes but the version does not. This way, there is no need for a clean build when the hash changes, as $srcrel is included in the local file name: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=xnviewmp

I think the same approach could be used for this package, just my $0.02 of course :)

Validity fail encore (doing a cleanbuild):
