xow package sources fail validity check

When I try to install the xow package (I'm hoping to use my wireless Xbox One controller dongle) I get the following output:

[jasong@jasong-pc ~]$ yay -S xow

If there is a protocol for bug reports here, or if there is a preferred method for fixes, please let me know.  I have plenty of sysadmin experience, but I'm relatively new to Arch.  Thanks!

Leave a comment on the AUR page, and try building xow-git

Re: xow package sources fail validity check

And please tell the maintainer of the AUR package, that he/she should not download an un named tarball like v0.4.tar.gz. It is likely that you have another project's file in your download folder accidently haing the same version number and no name also.

makepkg has a syntax for avoiding such md5sum problems.
