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

Well, this is a guaranteed fork. ArchLinux is a binary distribution.

kyak, I don't see what you're crying about over there. You do realize you can download a tarball of the binaries from torproject.org, don't you? Just extract and run. If you want convenience, why are you bothering with makepkg at all? Have you read Mike Perry's blog posts about the hows and whys of deterministic builds? PS: You only have to do a full-compile once, after that you only compile what's been updated. @yar I like the idea. I'm sure Mike would love it if you could put something like that together, too. I don't know enough about Gitian to attempt to take on something like that myself, but if you're serious about it, keep us updated and I'll contribute where I can. Bonus points if you can generalize it outside of Tor (i.e. Bitcoin, or anything else that uses Gitian), but it might be a good idea to start small and work up.

I hope you are kidding. Create tor-browser-en-src or something and implement your perverted ideas overthere. Save the users convenience of being able to upgrade fast and furious, without 1.5 hours of compiling.

@EscapedNull @ThePacman I agree about compiling from source, and having just adopted this package I'm planning on making that happen soon. Gitian (Tor's deterministic build process) requires a VM with very precise setup. The process is so similar to Arch's devtools/makechrootpkg that I wonder if we shouldn't aim bigger and create a general infrastructure for Arch Linux to lead the entire FOSS community in deterministic building! Once containers and CONFIG_USER_NS are more mature and trusted, it could be the default and replace insecure makepkg. :)

ThePacman, I'd consider attempting to create a package that compiles from source if there was a demand for it, but compiling Tor Browser on my Intel i3 took about an hour and a half, and probably half a dozen dependencies. Even then, that's just the browser. No Tor, Torbutton, Tor Launcher, Noscript, start-tor-browser, etc. I just don't know if anybody would use it. If I could get the Tor Project's deterministic build system down, however, that might be worth making a package for.

Got it working on 64bit by changing pkgver='3.5.2' _realpkgver='3.5.2' _realpkgver_i686='3.5.2' to pkgver='3.5.2.1' _realpkgver='3.5.2.1' _realpkgver_i686='3.5.2.1' and sha256sums from if [[ "$CARCH" == 'x86_64' ]]; then sha256sums=('b6880821cee958affef0aa851beca6bf4b52ab127fce9be9d6cd3721fdf9ffe8' 'f5be2e04e4b256a261bdd2daaef15f64d3a24b989864a743a1c93ff6a40cef58') ...to if [[ "$CARCH" == 'x86_64' ]]; then sha256sums=('853262207b9dbad6fecadc1e9d24df4e07d5fda0ef9e8cdca83be59a17d2206e' '238d08e090f4b8a7454f212fbc65c5e325ba31cbd3be7b50a368dc3ea382a206') I didn't look it up for 32bit and therefore those sha256sums are the ones of the old versions and therefore incorrect! They should not work! But if you can't wait on 64bit I posted my version of it on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/pknfkXNR

confirm...additional .1 behind 3.5.2 (now 3.5.2.1), also checksum missing. Flag as out-dated?

The source has moved to https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/3.5.2.1/tor-browser-linux64-3.5.2.1_en-US.tar.xz

obb commented on 2014-02-15 15:31 (UTC)

The PKGBUILD contains wrong version numbers. It should be '3.5.2.1' instead of '3.5.2'. As a consequence I get a '404 - not found' error from curl. Also check if the SHA256-sums are right.
