[SOLVED] File downloaded by PKGBUILD is changed daily. What to do?

sollidsnake · 2014-09-03 03:54:19

I've submited a package to aur (gdx-setup) and the binary file that's download by the PKGBUILD seems to be changed everyday, so I have to update it very often because of the md5sum conflict. Sadly I'm very busy -- with professional and personal life -- and don't have the time to keep updating it everyday. I'm trying to contribute to the community so to orphan the package is the last thing I want. What's the best solution in this case? I thought about changing its md5sum to 'SKIP', but that wouldn't be very safe. Has anyone have a good idea for dealing with this?

I would use 'SKIP'; it looks like a nightly generated file, so in a way it's like pulling from version control, which also uses 'SKIP'.
