Cannot install some madgraph subpackages

[romanovzky]

Hi Joshua,

First of all thank you for maintaining an AUR package of madgraph related HEP tools.

I'm trying to get madgraph running on my arch laptop and I couldn't install

• madgraph-pythia8-interface
• madgraph-madanalysis

For different reasons

• Pythia:

I would suggest you move the downloads to the launchpad repos, for example for madanalysis:
https://launchpad.net/madanalysis5
Etc

But the other error seems to be a checksum that's failing, no?
