Before you flag this package outdated, read this: **An VCS package is never outdated!!** (unless it won't build or have other issues)

From https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#pkgver:
> makepkg can automatically update this variable by defining a pkgver() function in the PKGBUILD.

It means that this package will try to automatically update itself to the latest version every time you build it.
