installing wmacpi from AUR on archlinux, the checksum failed.
Checking why, I understood that the tar.gz is apparently generated at
each download.
As the time is included in the metadata, it means the tar.gz is
constantly changing leading to different checksums.
Is it intended ?
It's not ideal, but that's the way it works for now. Rather hosting a
bunch of different tarballs somewhere, the dockapps webpage points to
repo.or.cz, the git host, and uses its "snapshot" feature to generate
tarballs on the fly.
I know that both Debian and Gentoo host tarballs elsewhere to get around
this (Debian does this for all packages anyway).
I suppose an ultimate fix would be a patch to gitweb to use the commit
date instead of the current date when timestamping the tarball.
