[SOLVED] Newbie SlackBuilds Question

Alfred-Augustus · 06-02-2022, 10:52 PM

Hi

This is my first step at SlackBuilds. And I ran into failure.

I wanted the try Opera browser's VPN function.
I downloaded the opera.tar.gz file and the opera-stable_86.0.4363.23_amd64.deb file from SlackBuilds.org.

So, I think I am suppose to do md5sum, and then compare it to the values in the .info file.

But as you can see below they don't match. What do I do now? Should I continue the SlackBuild eventhough they don't match?

Thanks!

Code:

$ md5sum  opera.tar.gz 
fe8cebf01ff0d0e2b534d932b0080b45  opera.tar.gz
$

Opera.info file

I think the md5sum is supposed to be on "opera-stable_86.0.4363.23_amd64.deb"; there is probably another checksum for "opera.tar.gz"...

[Edit] I found:

What are all of those .asc files in the repository?
Those files are GPG signatures. They can be used to verify that the SlackBuild script tarball is exactly the one that we placed on the site. Assuming you have both the script tarball and the .asc file in the same directory, this process is as simple as:
gpg --verify app.tar.gz.asc

Oh yeah...now md5sum matches!

Code:

# md5sum  opera-stable_86.0.4363.23_amd64.deb 
f46139a4f500ec72d7016347eb22ea9b  opera-stable_86.0.4363.23_amd64.deb
