It seems a very strange name to me then... --skip-integ means do integrity checks but ignore the results when the actual integrity checks fails but not in the case where the array sizes are different? How is the array size being different any worse than a wrong checksum?
It was not considered worse. skipinteg did not work with wrong checksum either. It only works in the case where no checksums are defined in a pkgbuild.
Also, when did we start assuming people were stupid. If I use the --skip-integ option, then I know there are issues with my md5sums or I do not want to download the sources to check them. Either way, I have gone out of my way not to check them so I really do not want them checked.
And forget what I said in the bug comments, I don't really care. It might be ok to have skipinteg really skips everything after all. So my opinion now is : makepkg: rework --skip-integ -> could be ok makepkg: allow skipping intergrity checks whem making source package (Fixes FS#15984) -> less sure It seems Loui is opposed to the second patch. And Dan seems to be opposed to both, but especially the second one. Correct me if I am wrong :)
