Thanks for you reply! I'll try to implement another version of PKGBUILD to fullfill my needs. The script will be pasted on the aur pages as soon as possible after finished. On 2012-02-15 19:58:05, Matthew Monaco wrote:

Hi, queueRAM,

I found the p4/p4v packages in AUR were maintained by you. Here is something about them:

(1) due to perforce.com do not provide version info in the download filename, the download file will alwayse failed to pass md5 checksum tesing whenever the company rebuild the software.

Is there any way to ignore the md5sum?

And the same silly solution of perforce caused that one can not download i686/x86_64 version on the same machine.

Is there any method to rename the downloaded filename in the PKGBUILD script? does our makepkg tool support that feature?

Check out the man page for PKGBUILD, you can filename:url, where filename contains a version and architecture. The google-earth package does this.

...

(2) If you are kind enough, will you please to integreated the pdf docs about that software into the pkg ?

Thanks for your kindness for the maintances.

Hi,

If the hash sum test fails, it's a nice check and reminder if anything changed since the PKGBUILD was last looked at. Unless Perforce releases new versions very often, it may be a good idea that the PKGBUILD keeps failing when the source changes, so that it gets reviewed again.

If there are new releases semi-daily/semi-weekly and you really trust upstream, using curl or wget to download the file in question in build() would work, but I'm not sure if it would qualify as the Arch Way.

Good luck with the PKGBUILD in any case.
