Can I have co-maintainer, please?

I'll help maintain this package and also add an .nvchecker.toml.

~~Please can you rename the package to python-icoextract like chapter 1 in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines?~~

Ignore my comment. It looks that this tool is a standalone app, isn't it?

@yochananmarqos Until a couple of years ago I used to prefer using git tags rather than source tarballs in all my packages, until some user(s) complained about the extra storage space and bandwidth required when using tags, so I switched over to tarballs.

I too would like to utilize that extra robustness of PGP keys, and this is in my opinion a good counterargument to said user(s) (because security >>> a few kB or mB of temp storage), so I'll see to it in the near(-ish) future that I switch back to tags again and add PGP verification in the process. Thanks for the suggestion.

@Nocifer: By adding developer PGP keys, it increases the security and validity of the package. I do that in my AUR packages whether it's a signed commit, tag or tarball. It's up to you if you want to make the change, of course.

In this case, the tarball does not have a matching signature file; i.e, .tar.gz.asc.

Hey @yochananmarqos, I'd be happy to do that if there is a good reason for it, otherwise for the time being I'd prefer if I avoided switching to a git-based process. AFAIK Github's source archives are generated on the fly from the actual source code, so there's no chance of any xz-like shenanigans in our case. Is there a way to use Github's GPG verification with source archives of commits instead of the commits themselves?

@Nocifer: Please use the signed git tag as the source:

source=("git+https://github.com/jlu5/icoextract.git#tag=$pkgver?signed")
sha256sums=('bc0c9aa074771ff176253d9ebf631ec882776ddd71892a136e1e00a711d44253')
validpgpkeys=('D5D568B2D34AB32A337944D22EC3F60DE71C0B9D') # James Lu <james@overdrivenetworks.com>

@jdigi78 Done, and thanks for reporting it!

If the thumbnailer appears to not be working, try icoextract-git. It's been updated with the missing MIME type. @Nocifer I'd recommend patching this pkgbuild with that change as well.
