Would you mind adding a few lines to the PKGBUILD?
_checksum="$(curl https://code-industry.net/checksum-information/ | grep master-pdf-editor-$pkgver-qt5.x86_64.tar.gz)"
...
provides=("$pkgname=$pkgver")
conflicts=("$pkgname")
sha1sums_x86_64=("${_checksum% *}")
This'll automate checksums, as well as provide conflicts.
If an Arch upgrade breaks masterpdfeditor again, I'll immediately revert to the _include version and leave it that way. But now that Qt has moved on to version 6, it seems likely that QT 5 is going to be relatively stable.
@rosenberg you can keep your current version forever by simply not upgrading; not sure about older versions. However the license will expire and the software will nag you on startup about upgrading. This doesn't prevent you from using it. That said, you do understand that the license is what pays the developers to keep working on the software? Masterpdfeditor is by far the best PDF tool on linux; all the open source ones are inferior to, say, Adobe Acrobat. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be able to get my job done (the one I get paid for) without a good PDF viewer/editor on linux. If we have to pay someone to write/maintain such a tool, then so be it. More than happy to contribute $40/yr or whatever to this effort. And you can always continue to use the unlicensed version for free, which is what I do on some of my machines I use less frequently.
Very sorry, everyone. My bad. For some reason I had switched the package to the version which includes the Qt libraries and now I don't remember why, and didn't notice, which is why I had the wrong checksum in the PKGBUILD. Since the current version of masterpdfeditor appears to work fine with the Qt libraries available in an up-to-date Arch system, I've reverted the package back to master-pdf-editor-5.9.87-qt5.x86_64.tar.gz. Let me know if there is some reason I should revert this back again to master-pdf-editor-5.9.87-1-qt5.x86_64-qt_include.tar.gz and update the checksum instead.
Have you considered pulling the checksums directly from the site? They provide their own checksums calculated. Your checksum in your PKGBUILD is invalid for that source.
Just released master-pdf-editor-5.9.87-1-qt5.x86_64-qt_include.tar.gz with updated libraries; please try building package with this version 5.9.87-1.
same issue as @VyacheslavS
