This was a somehow tricky update, as what was described as a simple bugfix update to the patches turned out to also include a stealth update to aoTuVb.03, leading to quite a few packaging changes that were not immediately clear.

Most notably, since the patch maintainer updated them without changing the file names, I had to find a way to force a redownload of the files for all users. I did it via a custom variable using the date of the latest patch update, using it to rename the files.

I suggest that this package move to enzo1982's Github repo as upstream so as to simplify maintenance, however that means either:

  1. moving to a -git package, since he doesn't really make new releases (see also this post for why I hadn't done it so far; however I think this should not really be a problem with Arch VCS packages), or
  2. doing a bit like libvorbis in the official repos, but using a specific commit ref as source instead of a tag. This could be an easy transition plan, although then we are then indeed subject to the risk of a force push for 1.3.8...

What do people here think about this issue?

Cheers

desbma, checksums match for me. Have you deleted your cached copies of the source files? makepkg does not re-download the files if they are already present.

When updating to b6.03-8 I get an error because the hash of libvorbis-aotuv_b6.03_2015-lancer.patch is invalid

My bad, the only other package I maintain is a -git one, so the version takes care of itself. Thanks for reminding me.

Could you bump up pkgrel? I would like to be in line with official AUR, but the right way is to bump it after every change. I had to bump in my copy otherwise I run into upgrade issues. I maintain several PC-s and I cache old versions to reduce downloads. The issue is that in my repo now I have a new build, but I pick the old versions via cache due to release number did not change. Cheers, Gabor

I've updated the checksum now that the author has fixed the patch to work for both shared and static builds. Compiles and passes tests here.

After updating the pkgsums to match the update to the first patch done on 20161217 (reason for which I flagged the package out-of-date), I stumbled upon a build error that seems linked to the update: gcc: error: xmmlib.o: No such file or directory However it works if we remove the "--disable-static" option in configure. Problem reported upstream in the reference thread.
