Hi,
It's possible to calculate the checksums yourself. Just install the
openssl
package and then run the following:
$ openssl sha256 filename.tar.gz
(with filename.tar.gz being the name of the source tarball that you're using)
Hope this helps
Or just use sha256sum or md5sum. Not sure which package they live in, but I suspect they come with the base development packages. /M

Hi, Working only on my second AUR package, please bear with me. To verify integrity, the author does not provide checksums but only a gpg .asc file. What is the preferred way for me to proceed? The author is active and available so I can ask him to post a sha256 on his website; but I'm trying not to be too demanding, preferring to keep my requests on the subject of the application itself, e.g. features, etc. It's not a big deal but just wanted to check with the community here in case I am missing something. Thanks.
