Note for artemisbot:
A *-git package PKGBUILD in the AUR should only need updated when things
like build requirments or dependencies change. Simply re-installing a *-git
package will install the latest version from git, including any recent commits.
You can use an AUR helper for this. Depending on which one you use, it may even
have a feature to keep track of *-git packages. If not, a simple reinstall
works just fine. Even a simple `makepkg -sri` with the PKGBUILD will work fine
too. When installing, the `pkgver()` function in the PKGBUILD will keep track
of what version you are installing so that even your local copy of the PKGBUILD
will be up to date. Please see the following Arch wiki link for why it works
like this, vs. a more typical package:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#What_is_the_difference_between_foo_and_foo-git_packages?
I needed to update my email address anyway, but try not to flag any more
*-git packages in the AUR unless they are not building correctly or
otherwise broken when trying to install them, okay?
