Wrong URL to OpenCV github in mingw-w64-opencv

I am trying to prepare a buildsystem to cross-compile an application written in C++ with Qt5-based GUI and OpenCV for Windows.
As I use GitLab, I want to make a Docker container which then will be used in my GitLab-CI.

I base on a great Docker image from mdimura which uses Arch and mingw Qt packages to create a cross-compile container which may be used in CI to compile Windows Qt apps.
Unfortunately it does not contain OpenCV.

Adding mingw-OpenCV seems easy in Arch, so I just added one line (last one in the excerpt below) to the clonned Dockerfile script, but it failed.

# Install AUR packages
USER devel
RUN yay -S --noconfirm --noprogressbar --needed \
        mingw-w64-boost \
        mingw-w64-eigen \
        mingw-w64-qt5-quickcontrols2 \
        mingw-w64-qt5-serialport \
        mingw-w64-configure \
        mingw-w64-python-bin \
        mingw-w64-opencv

After short investigation it looks that the URLs for archive tarballs (ln. 12 in PKGBUILD) changed.
I have prepared patch to fix this:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD

Unfortunately when I tried to build fixed PKGBUILD with

makepkg -si

it failed as well.

The code below was added to the Dockerfile to manually install fixed opencv-AUR.

# install OpenCV from AUR pkgfile
# there is a wrong path to OpenCV archive which needs to be patched
USER root
RUN mkdir /workdir/mingw-w64-opencv
RUN chown devel /workdir/mingw-w64-opencv
USER devel
WORKDIR /workdir/mingw-w64-opencv
RUN git clone [url]https://aur.archlinux.org/mingw-w64-opencv.git[/url] .
RUN git checkout 0b2bc093213691cd7aadf360625cea43ec1312fa
ADD fix_broken_github_archive_paths.patch .
RUN git apply fix_broken_github_archive_paths.patch
RUN makepkg -si
# clean after installing opencv
RUN makepkg --clean
WORKDIR /workdir
RUN rm -rf mingw-w64-opencv

Code below is the output from

docker build

on the Dockerfile.

The questions:

• is there any obvious mistake in my dockerfile that makes

  makepkg -si

  fail?

• how can I send the patch to mingw-w64-opencv, without registering?

I cannot register to comment in AUR, as I have no installed Arch to answer the question below and it does not accept the one I generate in a docker-contenerised Arch.

To protect the AUR against automated account creation, we kindly ask you to provide the output of the following command: LC_ALL=C pacman -V|sed -r 's#[0-9]+#562#g'|md5sum|cut -c1-6
