Hi there,
This is probably some sort of feature request or maybe more general asking.
I have a case where sha*sums are provided in a .dsc signed file (bs1770gain, for which *sane* upstream is Debian: https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/bs1770gain). Apparently, makepkg only supports verifying file with detached signature. Is there a specific reason for that (like this use case is really tiny — I have no actual idea about this) or is it just because it was never implemented?
The format of signed checksum files varies a lot. I don't want to attempt to autodetect each one as that will create a future nightmare.
Also, what is gained vs putting the checksums into the PKGBUILD?

Easy verification of source for other people building the package (here from AUR, but could be from ABS). Or maybe I misunderstood the point of having PGP verification in makepkg? The idea is to be able to just put the .dsc file in the sources array and extract the checksum from it in the sha*sums array (here I just write "$(grep -A1 Sha256 ${pkgname}_${pkgver}-1.dsc | tail -n 1 | cut -d ' ' -f 2)" in there), while having makepkg verify the .dsc file. Anyway, I understand your point, I never thought the format could be something else than a PGP signed message with or without detached signature. Or maybe you were thinking of extracting the sha*sums (which is then probably linked to my first point — my possible misunderstanding of PGP verification in makepkg)? Thanks, Bruno
