makepkg error: Integrity checks are missing. elinks-git

Hello:

I was trying to install elinks-git from AUR, but it failed.  I tried to build the package locally using the instructions on the wiki, but again ran into the same error:  Integrity checks are missing.  I've been unable to find a description of this error or how to fix it.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

Re: makepkg error: Integrity checks are missing. elinks-git

makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD && makepkg

It is because that package does not follow the git packaging guidelines...

Fantastic! 

I also had to modify one directory name under /src (name included incorrect date), but after that & using your suggestion, it worked like a charm.

Thank you for your help,
Rob

Re: makepkg error: Integrity checks are missing. elinks-git

There should really be a flag to turn off integrity checks for PKGBUILDs that you are making yourself and testing. I know makepkg -g is the easiest thing ever but if we keep making formalities like this mandatory, the ease of making an Archlinux package - setting us apart from Debian and Redhat - will be lost.

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

I think that there will be such a flag in the new version of makepkg, there have been patches submitted on arch bugtracker.

These formalities keep you from installing a broken package.
