Can you please download roboto-flex-fonts.zip to a $pkgver specific filename, e.g.

"roboto-flex-fonts.${pkgver}.zip::https://github.com/googlefonts/roboto-flex/releases/download/3.200/roboto-flex-fonts.zip"?

Regards!

For people who use $SRCDEST in /etc/makepkg.conf, your source file OFL.txt has a too generic name and will conflict with other packages which also use this too generic name.

Please download it to a package-version specific filename, e.g.:

"OFL.${pkgname}-${pkgver}.txt::https://github.com/googlefonts/roboto-flex/raw/main/OFL.txt"

Regards!

It appears that the sha for the zip file is 02e0f5db84e69f254958434269d83aa6057b06f3c2a21042bb81b1afe1a0c8c6

Thanks for packaging the font!

That's quite an unusual filename. Even if there's a convention for a variable font filename, I wouldn't install it like this. I think that it's a bad practice to use characters for filenames that are not alphanumeric, dot, or underscore.

Also, the whole point of variables fonts is that they are variables, there's no need to detail the font's contents using the file name, as you won't install another RobotoFlex variable font in the same system with different contents.

Just install the font as RobotoFlex.ttf. A possible alternative to the filename, which I noticed used by the variable the Noto Fonts, is to add a -VF suffix to the font name, so the filename would be RobotoFlex-VF.ttf.
I prefer avoiding the -VF suffix in order to conflict with non-variable fonts.
