This PKGBUILD does not build from source, but simply downloads and deploys binaries. And the Tor browser is open source. That is, it can be built from source.
The name of this package is against AUR rules, why not rename it to tor-browser-bin?

It seems that a new version is available https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/12.5.2/ and the old one got removed.

Tor Browser seem to rely on ffmpeg4.4 as an optional dependency for H.264 video, might be cool to add it as an opt dep. If you which to test my claim, uninstall ffmpeg4.4 from your system and open a youtube/invidious video.

pkgver='12.5.1' is now required for the download to work, as 12.5 has been removed by the Tor project for whatever reason.

@sagittarius pkgver=12.5 doesn't exist neither. The whole torproject.org has been down. Even keyrings are unavailable.Anyway there are third party repos that has the package. For anyone interested just google tor-browser.pkg.tar to find a repo. I added one to my pacman.conf and was able to install. Of course you can delete the repo afterwards if you wish.

pkgver='12.5'works

@d_fajardo - edit your PKGBUILD and change the version to 12.0.7. That version's files seem to exist.

Can't update. The sources seem invalid.

@jahway603 has that issue not been resolved? see line 42 in PKGBUILD.
