Ah, that's because of a difference in the git short revision length... Should be fixed in the -2 update I just pushed...

Since a few days every paru command asks me to update this package. I think something in pkgver is going wrong?

paru -Qs cyrus-sasl
local/cyrus-sasl-xoauth2-git r22.43d0352-1
    XOAUTH2 mechanism plugin for cyrus-sasl

when I paru it says the update is for:

Aur (1) cyrus-sasl-xoauth2-git-r22.43d03523fecf-1

By the way, when building I add some warning by my package manager and did some editing on the PKGBUILD. Feel free to use it if you want (git patch below)

Weird. I suppose that's depend on the usage that the application makes of libsasl, but I don't really know the internals of that.

I'll try to make an issue on the github when I'll have a bit of time

Works fine for me with postfix for authenticating against gmail...

The plugin does not seem to works. For example when used with mbsync connecting by imap and using sasl, it hangs at login. Another implementation (https://github.com/robn/sasl2-oauth) does work though.
