As the upstream Release Notes state, most recent releases were rebuilds of the prebuilt upstream binaries only, so they get updated versions of the staticly linked dependencies. This PKGBUILD does not use those binaries, it builds from source and links the dependencies shared, so it does not need to be updated every time abseil, yaml-cpp or mpdclient or their dependencies get minor updates.

So that's usually the reason for not updating this PKGBUILD to every release done upstream. It's to avoid unnecessary rebuilds. I'll update when actual source changes are done or if someone explicitly flags o-o-d.

Please do feel free to flag (or comment), even if it may be unnecessary, if you want me to update the PKGBUILD anyway or if you think I've overlooked some changes. I've got no problem with that.

oh, wait, I only have it as makedep, ignore the previous content of this comment, I'll fix this shortly.

semms abseil-cpp is a runtime dependency now:

ashuffle: error while loading shared libraries: libabsl_str_format_internal.so.2111.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Yeah, my CI noticed the missing dep and I've added it by now.

No, it needs to be a normal dependency, since it'll be dynamically linked when using the build option my patch adds.

Missing dependency yaml-cpp (makedep only perhaps?)

I pushed a fix for that.

Fails to build with latest abseil-cpp, needs a patch:

Well I'd have expected it to satisfy the dependency, too. But maybe it doesn't because of the version constraint?

I pushed a PKGBUILD without gmock dependency anyway.

Thanks for the headsup.
