As far as I know v15 of this font is not posted publicly anywhere and the only way to get copy is emailing the author. Please do not flag this as out of date unless/until there is a source people can use to get the file or some other way I can verify the installation details for people that have the source and want a package that installs it from local sources, e.g. via file:// sources.

Flagged out-of-date. ttf-symbola fails building at source verification with this output;

EDIT: Somehow building the base package (font-symbola) and installing it that way does the trick. Weird.

I can't access the website, but a recent wayback machine archive shows that the latest version is v14.0:

(.otf font is embedded in the pdf file)

@dr460nf1r3 I'm unflagging this (again) because it is not out of date, the current checksum matches the current download (just tested now). Note that the upstream website owner (or perhaps their hosting provider) has been getting political with access to their site, it is some mix of blocked/throttled/corrupted if I try to browse the site or download the file from my country of residence. The file downloads fine from Germany or the US.

@zoorat Dude, please check your testing mechanism. You are trying to download a the source URL for a package version of this that is EIGHT (8) versions old. Please actually clone the right AUR URL before reporting.

alerque commented on 2021-11-23 00:13 (UTC)

Unflagged because the checksum has not changed.

grawlinson commented on 2021-03-02 19:59 (UTC)

Have a look at the man page for PKGBUILD. Specifically, the section about split packages.

Brottweiler commented on 2021-03-02 17:06 (UTC)

The git clone URL on this AUR package points to "font-symbola.git" so it downloads the wrong version. Manually downloading a snapshot downloads the right version of course. Why is it pointing to font-symbola.git?

alerque commented on 2021-01-17 08:12 (UTC)

@Togooroo I just re-downloaded the source and the checksum still matches. This is not out of date, but I suspect you have the same problem many other have had with this package. Because of a cooky issue with the way AUR package namespaces work there is a deleted (marked as deleted but still clonable) repository in the old namespace. This package's clone URL is different than it used to be. Please update by cloning from the URL shown in this package's meta data.

alerque commented on 2021-01-17 08:09 (UTC)

@IMBJR That package file is from a different repository. Please use the "Git Clone URL"s shown on this package and clone from scratch.
