@buhtz: you may already know this, but there is no action on my part, unless something besides pkgver in PKGBUILD needs to be changed. It is up to the user to decide when to upgrade the package (and have pkgver updated on their machine).

Second release candidate is out

Hello @willemw, can you please open a ticket and give some more context information. I am assuming this error occurs when you run your AUR/package/Arch tools.

willemw commented on 2026-01-21 16:36 (UTC)

@buhtz: I changed the dependencies locally (no Qt dependency changes). But QGuiApplication.screenAt(self.pos()) returns None:

WARNING: Icon theme missing or not supported. Icon "document-save"  and "document-save-symbolic" not found. An icon theme should be installed. For example: tango-icon-theme, oxygen-icon-theme

1.6.0 Release Candidate is out today. Be aware of new dependencies: gocryptfs, bash, python3-pyqt6.qtsvg Please also update the other dependencies. Checkout CONTRIBUTING.md for dependency list. e.g. I recommend to remove oxygen-icons, optipng

If 1.4.3.r54.g50c74444-1 is the version of the installed package, then commit 50c74444 is the version of the upstream Back In Time source code.

buhtz commented on 2025-01-14 14:26 (UTC)

That is a burden for upstream maintainers. Imagine users telling me they use Back In Time from Arch. How should I know which version that is.

willemw commented on 2025-01-14 08:51 (UTC)

For devel packages (*-git, etc.) the real version number is only on the user's machine. The version number on the AUR site is not relevant (except for a forced version bump by the maintainer when needed.)

Does the Arch AUR package tools to update existing installations to the latest upstream commit?

Yes. But each tool may do it differently. Paru and yay use git ls-remote to compare the latest local and remote commit.

buhtz commented on 2025-01-14 08:36 (UTC)

whenever you install or reinstall a -git package with such a default URL, it will install the latest commit on the default branch.

Then why is the version number of the package "1.4.3.r54.g50c74444-1" but upstream is far beyond that version?

Does the Arch AUR package tools to update existing installations to the latest upstream commit?
