@dvalter Thank you, updated!

Thank you for PKGBUILD @jonathon.

Unfortunately there're some inaccuracies in dependency list.

• qt5-x11extras has been required for a long time
• qt5-svg was recently added for SVG support.
• sqlite3 is no longe required due to outdated code removal.

Here's the patch suggestion:

I didn't actually forget anything, upstream changed their tagging structure and introduced a "RELEASE_" prefix with 1.6.

I've adjusted the pkgver function accordingly.

Edit:

@Kr1ss, ah that looks nicer than my quick change. I'll include that change next time I update the PKGBUILD.

That's not really the case. The $pkgver variable is computed by makepkg everytime the package is build, by applying the pkgver() function. So what's in the PKGBUILD as a version does not really matter (except that it's probably no good style).

The problem at the moment seems to be that upstream changed their tagging by prepending RELEASE_ to the version, which can easily be fixed in the PKGBUILD by changing the sed expression in pkgver() to:

sed 's/[^0-9-]*//;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'

@jonathon, you forgot to apply the pkgver variable part of Kr1ss's patch. Now the package is permanently out-of-date, i.e. "Version: latest (outdated installed version is RELEASE_1.6.r37.ge6cd346-1)". I think that the pkgver variable should be set to the actual latest git version of the package at the time of the last PKGBUILD change.

Great ! Ty for the quick fix.

Oops. That's what happens when I base the VCS package on the standard package rather than the other way round... :/

Fixed now.

Thx @jonathon, great package.

Sadly, the current PKGBUILD just labels each version "latest". So, despite of this being a VCS-package, the pkgver won't be changed after an upstream commit and a rebuild, thus makepkg/pacman won't recognize that the package has actually changed.

Would u mind adding a pkgver() function to the PKGBUILD, e.g. something like :

diff --git i/PKGBUILD w/PKGBUILD
index cecb4cd..b50f9cf 100644

That would increase the version number with every commit, and append the hash ID of that commit.
