Before running makepkg, you must do this (as normal user):

$ gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys torbrowser@torproject.org

If you want to update tor-browser from AUR without AUR helpers you can run in a terminal:

$ tor-browser -u

The key E53D989A9E2D47BF is missing, this is especially a problem if trying to build using makechrootpkg. Simple workaround, add gpg --recv-keys E53D989A9E2D47BF in the first line of the PKGBUILD file. It'll try to import the key more than once, but at least it'll build wihtout having to disable signature checking completely.

Is it possible to add this key to validpkg keys?

Also is it really necessary to run gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys torbrowser@torproject.org? Most keyservers don't validate the mail address, so it is not really secure as anyone could upload a key with this mail address and get their keys included...

After you've renamed the package according to AUR rules, build fails, as it tries to download

https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/12.5.4/tor-browser-bin-linux64-12.5.4_ALL.tar.xz

instead of

https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/12.5.4/tor-browser-linux64-12.5.4_ALL.tar.xz

Please fix this build issue.

This PKGBUILD does not build from source, but simply downloads and deploys binaries. And the Tor browser is open source. That is, it can be built from source.

The name of this package is against AUR rules, why not rename it to tor-browser-bin?

It seems that a new version is available https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/12.5.2/ and the old one got removed.

Tor Browser seem to rely on ffmpeg4.4 as an optional dependency for H.264 video, might be cool to add it as an opt dep. If you which to test my claim, uninstall ffmpeg4.4 from your system and open a youtube/invidious video.

pkgver='12.5.1' is now required for the download to work, as 12.5 has been removed by the Tor project for whatever reason.

@sagittarius pkgver=12.5 doesn't exist neither. The whole torproject.org has been down. Even keyrings are unavailable.Anyway there are third party repos that has the package. For anyone interested just google tor-browser.pkg.tar to find a repo. I added one to my pacman.conf and was able to install. Of course you can delete the repo afterwards if you wish.

pkgver='12.5'works

@d_fajardo - edit your PKGBUILD and change the version to 12.0.7. That version's files seem to exist.
