git should be added to the makedepends as this will fail to build in a clean chroot.

Noteworthy: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xar/pull-request/1

Non-arch visitors can create .deb builds:

### NON-ARCH VISITORS
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/xar.git
cd xar
makedeb
dpkg -i xar_1.6.1-5_amd64.deb

Or pre-built deb of the above here: https://github.com/sickcodes/aur/raw/master/xar/xar_1.6.1-5_amd64.deb

git clone https://github.com/tpoechtrager/xar.git
cd  xar/xar
./autogen.sh
make
./src/xar

since https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xar-tpoechtrage-git/ is also abandoned

@mikezackles, thanks, works for me too.

@easimer, perhaps this could be released as 1.6.1-5?

fwiw, this gets things working for me: https://gist.github.com/mikezackles/449fed039897f78b8d462902e5626429

Patched the OpenSSL incompatibility. Instead of OpenSSL >1.1.x, this package now depends on version 1.0. The `autogen.sh` line has been modified to include the v1.0 headers and link the correct library. (Thanks m3thodic!)

If you are getting OpenSSL issues, install openssl-1.0 and change the ./autogen.sh line (line 21 in PKGBUILD) to the following: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/openssl-1.0" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/openssl-1.0"

I've added a workaround patch to the package, so now it builds without error. This patch adds a few lines to lib/ext2.h, like the the AIDE devs did in their code (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=818858, see lines 147-151 of aide 0.16 src/compare_db.c), which, if undefined, define EXT2_ECOMPR_FL as EXT4_ENCRYPT_FL. I haven't really tested if the program itself works, so if it doesn't, please send me an e-mail and I'll try to do something.

No longer compiles, see https://github.com/mackyle/xar/issues/10.

Download link is wrong and fails to download anything. Link on the webpage is https://github.com/downloads/mackyle/xar/xar-1.6.1.tar.gz, but the md5sum is wrong for that. Correct md5sum is a624535d6a1e8fdf420b36a6b334047b. After changing those, the build fails because the cd command in build() and package() has the wrong path. Should be cd "$srcdir/${pkgname}-${pkgver}".
