This AUR package is a mirror and automatically updated from the proaudio binary repo project at https://github.com/osam-cologne/archlinux-proaudio

If possible, open a GitHub issue or PR instead of commenting here, thanks!

If you are interested in a well integrated vcvrack (eventually in the [community] repository), built with system libraries from a verifiable source tarball, please do voice your concern in this issue and/or this pull request. It seems upstream only considers changing anything, as soon as enough customers complain.

I finally wave the white flag, having just built a new box with a fresh software install to find that VCV no longer logs in to my VCV account, and I cannot sync/download my library.. from the log:

[0.299 warn src/updater.cpp:26] Request for version failed

It seems to originate from a failed network request (curl). If I wasn't so invested in plugins, then I would have given up on this quite some time ago.

PS Upstream aren't helpful having taken the stance they will arbitrarily delete/silence any comments or reports that they dislike, take offence to, and they aren't very good at responding to actual issues. Good luck to anyone tempted to try this.

I updated vcvrack-git package it works, plugin I updated last year too, I didn't tried to compile them again since this update few minutes ago.

pffft is still showing a 404. I cannot comment on the patch failure below, as my installation process didn't get that far. I think the PKGBUILD needs to be updated.

zealws commented on 2021-01-06 18:18 (UTC)

@ericandre615 That's a common issue with any AUR package who's source changes without the PKGBUILD for it also changing.

In this case, it looks like the vcvrack-use_system_libs.patch file changed upstream but the PKGBUILD hasn't been modified with the new checksum.

I'm flagging the package as out-of-date so the AUR maintainer can update the checksum.

You can bypass the sha512sum checks by passing --skipchecksums to makepkg. Note that doing that in general might be dangerous as someone could modify the source maliciously and you would bypass the sha512sum check that's intended to warn you of that modification. You should always read the source to confirm it's not been tampered with before bypassing the sha512sum check.

Also, unrelated to the sha512sum issue, the pffft lib is still getting a 404. It builds fine with @intrlocutr's fix though.

Hello, I would love to try out vcvrack on Arch. However, I am having trouble installing this package. First, I didn't see this issue in the comments. And second, I have not previously seen this issue with any other AUR packages I've installed. When I try to install it with makepkg -si It goes through the process. Starts fetching things. Then when it tries to validate I get.

vcvrack-use_system_libs.patch ... FAILED
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Thanks for any help. It could be just me being a noob, which I apologize in advance.

Super quick and dirty fix for the pffft 404. Add this line in prepare of the pkgbuild right before git submodule update:

egrep -lRZ 'https://bitbucket.org/jpommier/pffft/get/29e4f76ac53b.zip' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/jpommier\/pffft\/get\/29e4f76ac53b.zip/http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20200621214837\/https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/jpommier\/pffft\/get\/29e4f76ac53b.zip/g'

What's the status of this package? I'm still getting the 404 for pffft. I can obviously run vcvrack without installing, but it would be helpful to have a properly installed package.

zealws commented on 2020-09-20 21:11 (UTC)

The pffft issue was fixed last month but upstream hasn't published a new tag with that fix, so builds like this AUR package are stuck using the most recent tag 1.1.6 (published in Nov 2019).

I filed an issue upstream for upstream to publish a new tag. https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack/issues/1847

I also tried to modify the PKGBUILD to build against the 1 branch just to get something working, but that doesn't build successfully (and I don't have time to dig into it right now).

Ploppz commented on 2020-09-20 10:06 (UTC)

The build fails because it gets 404 when trying to download https://bitbucket.org/jpommier/pffft/get/29e4f76ac53b.zip

What a thread !!! I'm happy I didn't bought modules. Time to uninstall.
