Arch Linux User Repository

Please update to version 17.2, this version is not working on arch linux and installing python 313 from aur is not a good solution

I found the solution. The problem is Python major version was switched from 3.13 to 3.14.

Install python313 from AUR and Valentina will back to life again.

After system update valentina is not working anymore, even version 16.5.2.

Hi @bobolin I think Valentina Studio fixed the issue with Cloudflare challenge, I downloaded latest version from http://valentina-db.com/download/prev_releases/16.1/lin_64/vstudio_x64_16_lin.rpm updated the sha256sums_x86_64 and that worked

PKGBUILD is broken:

source_x86_64=("${pkgname}-${pkgver}-${CARCH}.rpm::http://valentina-db.com/download/prev_releases/${pkgver}/lin_64/vstudio_x64_16_lin.rpm")

Should point to?? :

https://valentina-db.com/download/release/lin_64/vstudio_x64_16_lin.rpm

Workround is to download manually and change the line to:

source_x86_64=("vstudio_x64_16_lin.rpm")

then run makepkg -si

Unfortunately, it seems Valentina Studio recently added a Cloudflare challenge that can’t be bypassed by a CLI script, and using DLAGENTS doesn’t help either.

Two issues: 1) Checksum failure. The correct one is 824612d7fb20b59fb0e30c3c844b33143e869d627a64af9793d9bdf509199fd6 (at least for now)

2) Won't install
