Re: Question about AUR helper and pkgbuid[Solved]

ftr, adding

SKIPCHECKSUMS=1
SKIPPGPCHECK=1

to makepkg.conf does skip all integrity checks - very stupid plan still

Re: Question about AUR helper and pkgbuid[Solved]

Thanks for replying,I did think about what you mean,I can paru <pkgname> then I can get the real complete package name,then I can git clone the PKGBUILD to edit it manually,that'll work.And yes,there is no much AUR package I can work with,but ususally,after I spent some time and solved a problem that confused me,I'll reach for a new solution,finally I choose one of them what I think better than another.Just like this,I've tried so many distrobutions just to find one which I think comfortable(I found 2 though,Arch and Gentoo,LOL),whatever,I think trough now,I am not disabling intigrity check.(BTW:People are so nice here)

Nurali, you said this is specifically an issue in retrieving source code from github, right?  But any -git PKGBUILD should already SKIP the checksum.  So does this only apply to packages that download versioned tarballs from github?  There certainly are a number of such packages, but they are small minority of AUR packages.  How many of these are you working with?  Why do you need a general solution (of disabling *all* checksums, which has lots of negative side-effects) to a problem that is specific to very few packages?

How to skip intigrity check when Installing an AUR package that requires source code from Github?
I want to edit makepkg.conf for disable intigrity check,but I don't know how,I tried commenting INTIGRITY_CHECK=(sha256) in makepkg.conf,but it did not work.

#-- File integrity checks to use. Valid: md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, b2
INTEGRITY_CHECK=(sha256)

Why do you want to skip the integrity check?
It's there for your protection and any attempt to circumvent it leaves you open to invalid packages.
