Honest question, are you literally doing all you can to make your text as unreadable as possible? Because it does feel that way.
I reject your logic as to why this feature should exist. What you're describing is purely laziness -- a trait which is ill-suited for a packager.
However, there are valid reasons for this option to exist. They can be summarily described as: repackaging/redistributing the software would be a violation of the licensing agreement. I don't have a good feel for how many packages this affects, but you've already mentioned one of them: ttf-ms-win8.
dffaafeab0796 implements a superset of your request. Please, in the future, focus on the text and not the emoji.
Thank you very much, @falconindy ! By the way, I still don't understand the meaning of the following sentence:
Because in a vote between yellow and shoe, it was more or less a tie.
Is it a proverb, a saying or an aphorism? (for I'm still learning English and may not understand some complicated sentences)
It doesn't mean anything at all.
Hello, @falconindy !
Thanks for your contribution first. :kiss: You really did a great job! :100: :exclamation: To my surprise :astonished: , someone just makes the issue https://github.com/falconindy/pkgbuild-introspection/issues/18 . As I have an opposite requirement. That is: skip any integrity checks in packaging source tarball. :package:
Since there is an option in the manpage of
makepkg
: :book:Why I need this?
Assuming that I am managing to package a software that has a very large file, such as 0ad-data :horse: , or has many many files, such as ttf-ms-win8 :ab: . When I finished writing PKGBUILD :pencil2: , I must have updated the checksum of the source files :heavy_check_mark: , and I have no reason to modify any source files between finishing PKGBUILD and packaging the source tarball. :no_good:
That means, I don't need to verify the checksums which are generated a while ago. For most of the software, verifing lasts less than a second, it's bearable :bear: ; for the case I mentioned above, verifing lasts more than a minute, so long that I'm in a trance. :sweat:
If I know that I've updated the checksums a while ago :clock1: , why couldn't I choose to skip the integrity checks when packaging the source tarball? :question: :confounded:
I hope that
mkaurball
could support for passing--skipinteg
to makepkg. It could be an option, use-i
or-s
as mnemonic name. :octocat:Is it worth a shot? :confused:
Hope for your reply! :joy:
Yours sincerely :bow:
