Arch Linux User Repository

Upstream doesn't sign most commits anymore, so GPG signature check is disabled. They still sign every tag. Packages in the official repos package tags. You can check signatures with the following commands:

$ git log --format=raw --show-signature main
$ git tag -v $(git tag)

edit: found my problem the key server it could be useful for other people.

The default port is an high port and your ISP might filter it out!

use :80 in the ubuntu one and it should work:

pal ➜  ~  gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 4CDE8575E547BF835FE15807A31B6BD72486CFD6

Oh, that explains it. Thanks for the info. I disabled the check for now and went with the newest version. Of course, as you said, at my own risk. I am also not aware on how to handle SSH signatures in PKGBUILDs, sorry :/

For some reason, some commits are now signed with SSH signature instead of PGP signature. I don't know how to make makepkg work with that. The last commit signed with PGP is c801b3b807d249bc24ab826e2754191f5f58cd1b, so use that one, or skip signature check AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I'm getting the following error on two of my machines. Is this a problem on my side? I tried importing the key of Josh Boyer as described here, it's installed on my system.

==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
    linux-firmware-git ... Skipped

error: failed to download sources for 'linux-firmware-git-20230814.0e048b06-1': 

Okay, I found out how to use this on the newest commits.

First, go to prepare() and comment out these two lines:

patch -Np1 -i ../0001-Add-support-for-compressing-firmware-in-copy-firmware-modified.patch
patch -Np1 -i ../allow-inplace-rebuild.patch

Next, go to package_linux-firmware-git(), and find the line that says:

make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" FIRMWAREDIR=/usr/lib/firmware installcompress

Change installcompress to either install-xz, or install-zst. I recommend zst for obvious reasons.

Lastly, if you choose install-zst, go down to package_linux-firmware-marvell-git(). Find the line that says:

rm "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/firmware/mrvl/prestera/mvsw_prestera_fw_arm64-v4.1.img.xz

Change it to:

rm "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/firmware/mrvl/prestera/mvsw_prestera_fw_arm64-v4.1.img.zst

There you go.

The copy-firmware.sh has been updated and the patches don't work anymore and without the patches the package_linux-firmware-git() make compression process breaks in someway that's beyond me:

==> Starting prepare()...

The problem with my iwlwifi frequently disconnecting on its own has been resolved with this Package. Intel Corporation Wireless 7265

I found this error today:

What can I do?

Thanks in advance. Regards.
