@ortango: It will not solve problem with sha512sums.
Problem is upstream file is not versioned (memtest86-usb.zip), so it breaks sha512sums every time the file is changed (e.g. when a new version is available).
In my opinion, it is an upstream issue. I miss the old URL like <https://www.passmark.com/ftp/>$_pkgbasename-usb-$pkgver.$_build.zip.

@Popkornium18
do you have the zip cached in your SRCDEST folder? if so, delete it and try again.
maybe this package should name the source file like "name-version.zip::theinternet.com/file.zip" to avoid this.

memtest86-usb.zip checksum still fails.

@intartso: Ok, fixed, thanks.

For me the sha512sum for memtest86-usb.zip fails.

@ron2138: Mounting the loopback device requires to be root, but makepkg should never be run as root. From wiki:
Running
makepkgitself as root is disallowed. Besides how aPKGBUILDmay contain arbitrary commands, building as root is generally considered unsafe. Users who have no access to a regular user account should runmakepkgas the nobody user.
So, no, sorry, I will not do changes in the PKGBUILD to allow to build this package as root.
If you have an alternative way to extract the .img file as regular user, why not.

When there are root privileges, can the p7zip dependency eliminated with losetup, as in https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/316401/how-to-mount-a-disk-image-from-the-command-line?

I've been having issues with the grub entry install option after the latest update. The 86_memtest file that gets created under /etc/grub.d isn't executable and is missing a backslash before the '$' in the if-statement, which prevents the entry from being added to grub.

As you probably know, the
<https://www.memtest86.com/downloads/memtest86-usb.zip>URL is likely to cause problems, like this error:To avoid this problem, I prefer to reupload
memtest86-usb.ziparchive somewhere else, where this kind of breakage will not appear.I can't upload this archive on AUR directly (archive is 8 MB but AUR accepts 250 KiB maximum), so I decide to put this archive on my Git repository to avoid future breakages.
I hope it suits you.
