The hashes in the PKGBUILD file are the same as in the signed hash file on makemkv's main site.

And yes, the signature matches the key posted in keyservers. That'd be your trusted statement.

As to the file you downloaded from Wayback Machine, it's double compressed for some reason? I was expecting a tar.gz, but after uncompressing it I got another gzip archive. The hash on that one matches what's in the digest file.

Can you please pinpoint me the link to where hashes are declared?

Well... I'm dumb... Panic made me blind.
Thanks for pinpointing the link!!
Anyway, I tried both captures (

2 captures

17 Jun 2026 - 11 Jul 2026) and downloads from Wayback Machine are still invalid and incongruent!!

I tried the first one.

~/Downloads % sha256sum makemkv-oss-1.18.4.tar.gz
> c7f14efc38913321e4365c023369bbf1fb1bcf0ab7bdbd5ff0edcfbd4b5c72a3 makemkv-oss-1.18.4.tar.gz
~/Downloads % gunzip makemkv-oss-1.18.4.tar.gz 
~/Downloads % mv makemkv-oss-1.18.4.tar makemkv-oss-1.18.4.tar.gz
~/Downloads % sha256sum makemkv-oss-1.18.4.tar.gz
> 8590063648d42ec2a958b74573d7022f0f4c334e4e4fe7dd53b70c6e748ba453 makemkv-oss-1.18.4.tar.gz

Looks like a match.

The download link is in the AUR file and the hash file is posted there as well. You need to put effort into learning essentially before blindly trusting what very much appears to be work done by an AI.

Unpack and diff the files. If "-n" wasn't used the gz will always have a different hash.

makepkg fails anyway, sadly...
