source file md5sum changing often
I have created a package for port_audio_v18.
This is not the last version of portaudio (which is v19 currently), because only the v18 is supported by crrcsim (an RC simulator).
But V18 is still evolving due to bug fixes. It means that the downloadable source tar used by the package is regularly changing and md5sum is getting wrong every time it is updated.
How to cope with this in a clean way ? Is there a way to remove this md5sum validation inside the PKBUILD so that a source tar change does not block the package installation ?

Re: source file md5sum changing often
Yes, if you don't specify md5 array in your PKGBUILD, validation will be off.

Re: source file md5sum changing often
I just tried to upload a package without md5sum line, but AUR gives an error:
Missing md5sums variable in PKGBUILD.
How can I submit a package without md5sum ?

As a compromise, leave a comment for the AUR package (and inside the PKGBUILD) saying that the md5sum often changes. Or mirror the file yourself, as I do.
I assume this is regarding a snapshot file.

Re: source file md5sum changing often
yes, it's a snapshot file.
I'll do it your way, and mirror the file on my site.
Thx

Re: source file md5sum changing often
Hey, I found it in ArchWiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … guidelines
* cvs and svn PKGBUILDs may not require a source or md5sum array but these fields must be included in the PKGBUILD if you wish to submit it to the AUR, otherwise the pkg will be rejected. They may be left blank though.
source=() md5sums=()
