Arch Linux User Repository

The maintainer should host the uPD72020x-Firmware.tar.gz somewhere (in a git repo for example) and not rely on web.archive.org

Need a way to trust the firmware, any offical url? BTW I've check sha256 for sha256sum /usr/lib/firmware/renesas_usb_fw.mem, it doens't change after the source was changed to web.archive.org. So I think it's safe.

@gothicVI @AurelienDuval6 The pkgrel should only be changed if the resulting built package is different, so if new features were added etc. So in this case of the source URL changing, but it's the same bytes, the pkgrel should not have changed, since there is no reason for people who have built and installed the package already to rebuild it and reinstall the exact same binary. Quote from the wiki:

As fixes and additional features are added to the PKGBUILD that influence the resulting package, the pkgrel should be incremented by 1.

Source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#pkgrel

If you want to rebuild the package anyways, even if it should result in the same binary, you can always do that. Many package managers such as paru have a --rebuilt option and potentially an option to update packages even if only other lines in the PKGBUILD changed (see pacaur-like example at end of paru manpage and maybe --redownload option).

Not modifying the pkgrel in case the resulting package is the same conveys additional useful information, so AUR helpers and scripts can use that information to make decisions according to each user's preferences and still download the whole PKGBUILD every time if preferred. At least that's how I understand it.

@AurelienDuval6 sure: take a close look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines especially, do not edit the .SRCINFO manually but use the provided tools to generate it automatically ;)

@gothicVI Done ! I'm still pretty new to this so I was not aware of this.

Anyway, feel free to provide some tips because I'm still learning how the packaging process works (starting with a simple orphan package to see how things goes).

Thanks for your help !

Please bump the pkgrel when updating the sources. Otherwise yay fails to rebuild.

Any advice on what to do if my USB ports still don't work (at all, no juice coming from them) on my T14s Gen1 even after installing the firmware to the latest version (2.0.2.6)?

EDIT: I disabled my battery power in BIOS, unplugged my charger, let it rest for a few minutes and then plugged it back in and booted, everything is working fine now.
